Are you becoming less enamored with Ask500People as the level of inanity in the questions increases?

[1 point] 4 years ago by deleted user ReplyThe other night it took an hour to get 25 votes and it was a dumb question.
This site tries to offer something for almost everyone. Some questions are inane, while others are very thought provoking. One man's trash...... But if you don't like a question don't vote on it. This site has made me think, and formulate into coherent words, how I feel on certain topics. Especially the ones where Waugs and I are on opposite sides.
People vote the questions to the top, sometimes inane questions get preference over serious questions. This happens often. Apparently this is what people want.
That's it in a nutshell. The community creates the questions, and the community decides which ones run on the home page.
Question "quality" is very high on our list, but there's on so much we can do, and ultimately people have different tastes about what's interesting and what's inane.
There have been questions I dismissed as silly, and then the comments that people added blew me away.
Thanks for the question revsteve1958

[1 point] 4 years ago by deleted user ReplyReligion occupies a lot of people's time. This is probably a good thing. There is an expression that goes something like this, "Idle hands are the devil's workshop." I think there may be something to this. I also think any belief, even a simplistic belief, is better for all than no belief. I was raised to believe and my thinking got altered somewhere along the way, but I am thankful for the early years because just believing there is a possibility is better than thinking what am I doing here using up air that more social creatures have more right to than I do.
I reject the assumption behind the question.
