How come people can’t stick to the question?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) March 26th, 2014

There is a question that has ”A”, ”B”, ”C”, and ”D” as options to choose from. Somebody comes along and doesn’t like either option so they introduce an option like ”H” that wasn’t in the original question. Why do people insert options or answers in a question and not just stick with the options presented; or pass the question up?

Humans are not either/or creatures, or at least the intelligent ones aren’t.

If you want narrow-minded answers, Fluther is the wrong place for you. Try here

1. These “A”, “B”, “C”, “D” aren’t true for them and there’s no “none of the above” choice.

2. Humor.

whitenoise's avatar

It is especially hard, when the question cannot be answered without impying that you agree to something that is a false statement.

Like the one here… Answering this implies that I agree that people cannot stick to questions.

A lot of (your) questions seem to be placed not to ask something, but rather to say something.

livelaughlove21's avatar

Maybe the options provided suck.

Wouldn’t the added option be E, not H? Last I checked, E follows D.

Cruiser's avatar

Because the choices suck but may at the same time collectively raise a new dynamic that begs to be addressed by offering up an answer to “H”. That is how I usually see and why I will ofter color outside the lines of a question especially poorly stated or confusingly written questions.

Strauss's avatar

I always had a hard time coloring inside the lines. Or thinking inside the box.

rojo's avatar

Because in most questions the topic has been pretty much covered in the first few answers. After that it becomes a conversation amongst a group and that is similar to having a room full of semi-literate monkeys each composing a page for a novel while only having a vague idea of the storyline.

kritiper's avatar

They overthink it and head for the question they think you’re actually asking or are setting the stage for.

Bluefreedom's avatar

Like the old saying goes, “variety is the spice of life”. Maybe certain people just need more things to choose from and are hard pressed to be content with what is already in front of them.

A conversation can only go so far down one line before it ends. And if we don’t want the conversation to end we gotta take it some where else.

It wasn’t the dog’s fault.

Dutchess_III's avatar

Another good question to ask is why don’t people at least look through the other responses before they respond? It’s annoying to hash out a particular point thoroughly, only to have some one come in 10 posts later with that same particular point like it’s a new thought.

livelaughlove21's avatar

What I hate is when people don’t even bother to read the answers already submitted before putting their two cents in, only to find out it’s the same answer someone else already gave!

@Dutchess_III ;) I wholeheartedly agree.

I could say that about a number of other questions only the subject matter leans to stuff a gerbil would fall asleep on. Or about bedroom exploits as if a platform to brag off.
Is there some official mandate that all questions be no more challenging than what to name a cactus?

@livelaughlove21 Maybe the options provided suck.
How many questions are on Fluther? If you go to a restaurant and you want rib eye and they don’t have them, and everything else on the menu you don’t like, do you stay and order anyhow, and complain about the food or go to another restaurant that serves rib eye? You can choose another question. Last I checked no one had a pistol to your head making you answer a question you did not like. ;-)

livelaughlove21's avatar

@Hypocrisy_Central Perhaps options aren’t necessary on Fluther. Can people not have their own minds? Perhaps the person likes the question, but the options aren’t sufficient. Is there a gun to your head making you read those responses? What will be accomplished by complaining about them?

Oh, and Fluther is not a restaurant. :)

Judi's avatar

@Hypocrisy_Central . If I go to a restaurant and they don’t have anything I like on the menu I look at the ingredients they are using and ask them to fix me something different. I rarely et what’s on the menu they way they offer it.

I just finished reading David Guterson’s book, “The Other” and I was so impressed that I’m doing a bit of research on him. Here is an appropriate quote:

”... writers shouldn’t dictate to people what their morality should be,” and “not enough writers are presenting moral questions for reflection.” For Guterson, asking questions differs greatly and distinctively from giving answers.

@livelaughlove21 Perhaps options aren’t necessary on Fluther.
Sometimes they are, otherwise people go off on tangents that are as far from the question as Mercury is from the plant formally known as Pluto.

Perhaps the person likes the question, but the options aren’t sufficient.
What stops them from finding a question they like that has options sufficient enough for them? I have not corned the market on Futher questions, there are hundreds of others people can choose.

@Judi If I go to a restaurant and they don’t have anything I like on the menu I look at the ingredients they are using and ask them to fix me something different. I rarely et what’s on the menu they way they offer it.
@livelaughlove21 said this wasn’t a restaurant so…….. I guess of the ingredients of the question is not to your liking, you have to find another question, or find one who wants to change their question to fit what you want. ;-)

It usually does to illustrate the point in with classic brilliance.

Seaofclouds's avatar

Jumping in late, but I think people insert option “H” (as you call it) because they are interested in answering the question and sharing their opinion, but the options set in A, B, C, and D just don’t fit their opinion. Rather than skip it all together, they share their addition option because it is a viable answer to the question/situation in their mind. This generally can be great for encouraging and building a discussion because then there is more to talk about.

While I understand that can be frustrating if you really only want people to choose between the 4 options presented in the question, that really isn’t what Fluther is about. If you really want simple answers to poll questions, there are survery sites and poll sites that will only allow users to choose one of your options. Fluther is more about the discussion related to the question.

Speaking only for myself, many times it’s because not challenging one of your more preposterous questions would seem to imply that either I agree with your premise or that I don’t care enough to dispute it.

Cruiser's avatar

@Hypocrisy_Central I have to say I agree with you. That has always been one of the glaring components of Fluther is how easily people can hurl insults and personal attacks around here. I know this activity is heavily modded and they do an admirable job but it is most always after the fact and the damage is done.

We are all grown ups or at least pretend to be and should with grace and ease handle personal attacks but I cannot discount the fact that so many Jellies have left Fluther all because of this quickness to levy personal attacks. There are a couple nostalgic threads here as of late that reference past revered Jellies who I know first hand many have left because of this penchant to personally attack them and others. I have myself left 3 times for this very reason. Life is too short to be someone’s punching bag and the long list of Jellies who have left for that reason is testament to that.

ibstubro's avatar

Okay, honestly, when is the last time you saw that happen here on Fluther. I joined and participated for a while, then drifted off. Some years later I stopped back in and there were a few non-mods dominating the site so badly that I only stayed a day or two. Another ‘years later’ and Askville slammed the door on us, so I came back to Fluther. It was uncomfortable and I felt like my every post was scrutinized and/or openly attacked. Seems to me that that ended some time back. New jellies are awarded, friended and generally applauded.

Older members are held to a higher standard by older members. As it should be. To me there is a world of difference between you asking “Be honest, have you ever hit your significant other?” and “Men, since you’re all violent pigs, where do you prefer to beat your women.?”

The line between tough and loaded is about as thin as the Mississippi. Ask a loaded question, get a loaded answer.

At the moment, I personally feel like Fluther is at it’s optimum, given that it’s a human creation.

jerv's avatar

@Cruiser My personal rule there is that I am about as bad as should really be tolerated, so when I think somebody is being a dick, crossing the line, or being offensive and/or inflammatory, there’s a problem.

@ibstubro Given that Fluther is a human creation, it’s better than I would expect despite being so far from ideal.

@Hypocrisy_Central As I said before, one thing I will give you credit for is having the manners to remain civil.

@Mimishu1995 Topical drift is almost a given once you get past the first screenful of posts (or 1½ pages for those sites that use pages instead of just scrolling), so your surprise tells me that you must be new to the Internet.

One can be very insulting, without using foul language.

Every time someone pretends to be morally superior, they put down the people they imply to be superior to. That is quite insulting to me too.

People do bury their heads in the sand to not admit it happens, and far too often; after all, Fluther is supposed to be better than AB, YA, and Askville. If the shank grinding is not any better, then it can’t be claimed unless you just ignore that it happens.

There are a couple nostalgic threads here as of late that reference past revered Jellies who I know first hand many have left because of this penchant to personally attack them and others
I can recall as well, I know some would have wished I would join them; but that day is not today. II am surely not staying here to prove any point, I have a personal goal I told myself I want to reach, and when I do, some will get their wish and never have to scoff at a post of mine again.

@ibstubro Okay, honestly, when is the last time you saw that happen here on Fluther. I joined and participated for a while, then drifted off.

I can’t say the last time I seen that here in that way, but I have seen way too many Flutheronians ran out of town on a rail. I have seen some who got pounced and tag teamed about every time they made a post. Many might not remember because they often never lasted long.

@whitenoise You often put words in my mouth or respond to my posts without – seemingly – properly reading them, though.
If that is what you think I am doing to you, let me apologize. The next time I respond to a post or comment you make I will make sure I word it as such not to seem to have you saying you said something you didn’t; I don’t time it and way too many people do that to me. I read them, that is why I have to ask further about them, I guess I do not understand it clearly because it is not direct or covers complete the point you are trying to make; but I will work on that even.

That in itself is quite insulting to me.
I guess people will find different things insulting to them. I think it is insulting if you can’t give a person the common decency to answer their question in the parameters they asked it. It is either one did not bother to read it fully or simply did not care and want to answer the question their way as if the way the question was posted was faulty.

One can be very insulting, without using foul language.
Isn’t it all in how one takes it? Someone can say, ”Burger flippers would be better off if they went to school to learn something to become rich, make something of their lives”. Someone might see it as a truth that you can’t really live of the wages of a burger flipper so reinventing themselves is a necessity, another person might look at it as an elitist putdown by someone who has a high paying career and a degree, as if the it was being said the burger flipper was wasting their life not having a degree.

Every time someone pretends to be morally superior, they put down the people they imply to be superior to. That is quite insulting to me too.
First off, if you know, and believe in your moral standard, what anyone else has to say of them is of no consequence. What I find insulting is people who believe their morality is superior than another when by their standards it is all man created and thus no better than the person they are trying to say is immoral simply because they are doing something different than the masses; that just reeks of hypocrisy. News flash, everyone points to someone who they believe has less morals then them, I guess everyone is morally superior to someone in that respect.

I’ve known people with degrees forced into part-time, low-wage jobs despite their education, so I would see that comment as as a sign that someone has not ever having been in the really real world, or at least is naive enough to damage their credibility.

So yes, different people are insulted by different things, and it really is about how one takes it. We all have our hot buttons.

How so? Since one is forced to play the numbers game, if you took 20 people with degrees and set them loose on America, how many of those 20 would you believe would end up flipping burgers or some other low pay menial job for the next 3, 5, 10, or 12 years, and how many will actually be earning more than a burger flipper?

whitenoise's avatar

@Hypo
First off, if you know, and believe in your moral standard, what anyone else has to say of them is of no consequence.

That is a statement one can apply to anything. If it would be true, it would be impossible to insult someone.
‘Truly belief in God?’ Then anything I say about your belief cannot hurt you…
‘Your intelligence isn’t changed by what I say.’ Calling you a retard cannot hurt you…
‘Your morals come from God?’ Telling you that you are an immoral, despicable person cannot hurt you…

What I am trying to say… What you say is wrong. Worse than that: it is the opposite from true.

If you truly belief in your morals they become part of your person, your identity. What people say about them will actually hurt you. Through your identity. It is the same as looking down at another person’s faith or religion.

What I find insulting is people who believe their morality is superior [to] another when by their standards it is all man created and thus no better than the person they are trying to say is immoral [...]

This is something you do quite often. It is stating the (unfounded?) assumption that without a God there cannot be something as superior morals.

Whether that is true or not is a very interesting debate that merits more than a brief response on this thread. What I have an issue with, though, is your continued implication that through God you have access to such superior morals.

That is a notion I find insulting and will continue to challenge.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

@Hypocrisy_Central ‘Truly belief in God?’ Then anything I say about your belief cannot hurt you…
There is a difference in my mind, morality is one thing to insult, another to insult God. Someone can say they believe the way a believer thinks or our morals are wrong, I can give them that. When they try to bash God for it, then I have to say something because of my belief to not clear up the lies can lead someone seeking to leave the darkness into the Marvelous Light, might be turned away or sidetracked.

‘Your intelligence isn’t changed by what I say.’ Calling you a retard cannot hurt you… ‘Your intelligence isn’t changed by what I say.’ Calling you a retard cannot hurt you…
A person’s intelligence, their height, hair, skin, etc. is not going to be changed by anything anyone said. However, if you are going to call a short person stumpy, then you are placing a value on his/her height; if they are not tall enough, they are not good enough or in some way lacking. If you just call someone a retard when you have no privy to their IQ score, it is solely to diminish a parson no matter if they have an above normal IQ. There is where the difference is.

‘Your morals come from God?’ Telling you that you are an immoral, despicable person cannot hurt you…
You think that has not happened many times already? It can’t hurt me, however, I am not going to let a bold face lie go unchallenged because those reading later would be bamboozled into thinking it was true. They don’t like my morals I know it is really God’s morals they do not like, but their arms are too short to box with God, so I am the low hanging fruit.

If you truly belief in your morals they become part of your person, your identity.
Not really, not to derail this into another faith/no faith discussion, my morals are not my identity because they are not my morals. In my own janky flesh I am morally bankrupt; there is no good in me but Him. This is something you won’t understand because you know nothing about Him, or what you know is incorrect.

This is something you do quite often. It is stating the (unfounded?) assumption that without a God there cannot be something as superior morals.
Maybe you are mistaken the parlor game others are playing for me. There is some assumption that the Golden Rule (without and author), is the highest standard; any who don’t measure up or deviates off that path is immoral or a pervert. I have an author to my morality, what would that morality appear like if it were derived from a flawed being same as me, like the morality you choose to follow. God is higher than any other thing in the universe for He created all of it, so by nature of that His morals are higher.

What I have an issue with, though, is your continued implication that through God you have access to such superior morals.
That is a notion I find insulting and will continue to challenge.
That is the real issue, you seem to have a problem with the morality coming from God, because there are conditions to it. That is why we have what we have. The notion that a perfect morality for all was concocted from another being as fallible as I am that is right and normal for all mankind, especially when there is no name/face to attach to it as to hold that person or group of people up to the fire of testing; I will always challenge.

Putting words in my mouth; making various logical fallacies; claiming moral superiority.

I will stop here, until the next time you say something so dispicable I feel compelled to challenge it.

If only you were up for a real debate, I would love to engage on content with you. I find the subject very interesting; I actually took classes at Yale in moral phylolosphy. You don’t seem to be hindered by any intellectual effort on this topic, though, from voicing your opinion.

You are asking a tradesman (no degree, far-from-menial job), so I’m going to pretend you already know why that is stupid and move on.

Do you consider $35k/yr to start, and $60–120k/yr for an experienced to be “low pay”? If so, then you’re saying that most of America is low-pay and menial, as the median individual income in the US is closer to $28k/yr

A quick look at the official numbers shows that is depends more on gender and the political affiliation of your home state than on education level, but you’re asking somebody who is both far enough away from average/median and surrounded by so many similarly “anomalous” individuals in that regard that the only reason I give the official numbers much weight is that, on paper, the low-income Confederate States of God’s Grace (a.k.a. “Bizzaro World”) get their numbers included with Americans when it comes time for the feds to gather numbers.

So, how many of those 20? Mu.

@whitenoise Putting words in my mouth; making various logical fallacies; claiming moral superiority.
Producing fallacies? Like you stating I claim moral superiority. I am not stating moral superiority, all true morals comes from the same spring; God. If there is another parallel morality all I ask is show me the author, and the credentials or authority that allows them to impart it to me, when they are mere men no better than anyone else. If you are upset because I pointed out What I have an issue with, though, is your continued implication that through God you have access to such superior morals. You keep putting words in my mouth, I can’t ever remember saying the logic I use is superior. If you created an issue with it, it has to be because you don’t like the logic or morals I use, which is not my logic or morals but God’s.

@whitenoise Excellent example of white non-noise in your posting. haha

Thanks, @Coloma

It probably was my best most appropriate response so far, on this thread.

Dutchess_III's avatar

How did you do that @whitenoise?

whitenoise's avatar

Utter self restraint.

ibstubro's avatar

Selfless udder restraint?

NOT a good idea! No boob food.

Coloma's avatar

mmmm….asparagus.

rojo's avatar

Restraining udders selflessly. “Hold ‘em high”

Dutchess_III's avatar

This is udderly redinikerous.

Coloma's avatar

mmm ravioles

rojo's avatar

mmmmmmmmmmmmmm cdonalds.

ibstubro's avatar

Yes! @rojo. My daffodils are up and we’re days from butter yellow blooms! Thanks for asking!

Dutchess_III's avatar

I GET TO WATCH THE TWINS FOR A WHILE TOMORROW!!!!

rojo's avatar

Ok, maybe it is just the Gin talking but @Dutchess_III I will volunteer to watch your twins for a while.

ibstubro's avatar

Honestly, I didn’t know it would freeze that fast! The horror. Thank the Gourd for hair dryers and red nail polish.

@ibstubro A little off-topic, but it seems that you and I are the only ones here!

ibstubro's avatar

White vinegar (definitely not cider) should help that, @Mimishu1995.

Strauss's avatar

My lilies got snowed on!

ibstubro's avatar

Because I am rubber and you are glue?

Do you live next to the Munsters, @Yetanotheruser?

Strauss's avatar

No, but I once played in the band at Butch Patrick’s Hallowe’en party in Austin many, many years ago…

ibstubro's avatar

I rather approve of Eve, @Yetanotheruser.

No you are not, some are just trying to see if this will become another hijacked thread; or it could be just me looking.

whitenoise's avatar

@Hypocrisy_Central
Become another hijacked thread?

LOL :-)

Strauss's avatar

@whitenoise you beat me to it, but anyway…

@Hypocrisy_Central some are just trying to see if this will become another hijacked thread
There’s no doubt in my mind about the hijacking of this thread.

@ibstubro Yes, yes, yes!

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

It isn’t an official hijack thread until someone brings up naming cacti or pancaked.

Strauss's avatar

I named my cactus “Pancakes!” there, it’s official

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

Then we should be discussing itty bitty, teeny weenie tong bikinis.

ibstubro's avatar

A horse, of course!

Strauss's avatar

Right to the source!

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

^^ Nude woman on a horse, that would be good of course.

ibstubro's avatar

Of course cats can’t fly! You’d be a dolt to believe everything you see on You Tube. Next you’ll be posting talking goat links.

Strauss's avatar

Just bored I guess.

ibstubro's avatar

I love that game, too, @Yetanotheruser! The board game version was never as good.

Dutchess_III's avatar

A nude woman on a horse, eating pancakes whilst walking through cacti.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

Of course she will step on the wrong cactus, go sprawling out on her back and have “cactus butt”.

Strauss's avatar

What’s the Q, again?

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

Oh, you do not really want to know that….. Let’s stick with the best bikini for a size 6 woman….

rojo's avatar

Wait, I want to go back and discuss Tong Bikinis! And not just the Itty Bitty ones.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

^ Eatible one as well?

ibstubro's avatar

I used to be great with a slingshot. Nearly as a accurate as a gun.

rojo's avatar

I just don’t think I could fit my junk in a tong.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

^ Then we will leave it to a size 6 woman with a round bum.

rojo's avatar

I believe you meant “in”, not “to”.

at least I hope you do

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

^ I was saying we will leave it up to a size 6 women to wear them since you can’t get your “junk” in there; and we sure don’t want them spilling out.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

You showing? I know it was bad, but you walked into that one. LOL LOL

Berserker's avatar

Erm, I should have probably read what was going on before posting that lol.

rojo's avatar

“Post No Boobs”

now there is a sign you don’t see very often

Mimishu1995's avatar

How about posting this?

SHIT!

ibstubro's avatar

New meaning for keeping your junk in your trunk(s).

A personal fave: ”Boobies”.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

A personal fave: ”Boobies”.
Personal fav “Twins, headlights, lungs, pillows or chesticals ”.

ibstubro's avatar

It’s a link to a video that is a personal fave of mine.

Hypocrisy_Central's avatar

Can’t be shown here; the feminist will will pass a stone.
