Everybody walks past a thousand story ideas every day. The good writers are the ones who see five or six of them. Most people don't see any.
Comment preview: I think what you're trying to ask is "Why do x-group feel so possessive over the y-thing?" * Why do people who happen to live in one town instead of another feel so possessive over their sports team? * Why do people who happen to live in one country over a ....
Comment preview: Why do people buy cars they can't afford? Why do people do anything they can't afford? It doesn't necessarily have to make sense to you, but many people *do* do these types of things for their own reasons. A common reason people pay out-of-state tuition ....
Comment preview: thank you for your kind words. I look at every single situation i'm in dispassionately. I don't have an opinion before i look at something and research it. I understand why black people are afraid of the police. I understand why poor kids don't usually ....
Comment preview: Why do Iran and Israel hate each other? Why do people murder each other over cartoons? Why do the Irish and Northern Irish hate each other? Why do Pakistanis and Indians hate each other? Why do people keep blowing each other up in Baghdad? Why do Buddhists ....
Comment preview: God, I'm so tired of this cliche bullshit. Why aren't people allowed to get angry when someone fucks up their experience in a video game? Why do people imply no one should take it seriously? And, more importantly, why are these people some of the more voca ....
Comment preview: All right, here we go. >Why do you get so annoyed when other people don't speak English I don't. You do realise their are more languages than English in Europe right? I bet you think Spanish originated in South America too. >Why do people spray tan u ....
Comment preview: I'm a little bit surprised at the backlash in the comments here. Why do people view it as so important to push people to work even if automation drives the need down significantly? Many people are made miserable every day because they want to live, but do ....
Comment preview: The answer to any of these questions (and many more) is "sex". It's always sex. You may have to follow the argument down through a few levels, but it's always "sex". Why do men drive fast cars? They think they'll get more sex. Why do men want high powered ....
Comment preview: Couldn't decide on one so: -Tablets. I could have a phone that does everything I need it to do and a computer that does everything I need it to do. Why have something in between? -Obsessive texting. Alright, there are some people I love to talk to because ....
Comment preview: the funny thing is, the two women I knew who colored their hair didn't do it because they want to be brave or because they want to be unique. they didn't want attention (but also didn't complain about getting attention - they graciously accepted compliment ....
Comment preview: Actually, relatively few people understand how macro-nutrients work, and thus, how "food" works, especially upon ingestion. When I mention that I eat very little (relative to other Americans) sugar, I have to explain why to people and why sugar is bad for ....
Comment preview: I teach biology in a poor black middle school. Every year after the sexual reproduction lesson I pass out blank index cards. They are encouraged to ask any question they've every wondered anonymously and I answer them out loud to the class. Some of my favo ....
Comment preview: I have aspergers and struggle with this a bit. A big part of my struggle is that from my perspective many of the things that normal people care about and value seem pointless to me. This then begs the question, 'why do normal people care so much about irre ....
Comment preview: I'm sorry but we motorcycle-heads, of all people, should recognize the value of choice. Leaving aside the d-bag in the Hummer in the photo. *Why do people buy Hummers?* Because the same argument can be made with motorcycles. I have a FZ-09... very versatil ....
Comment preview: But why with the crying? Ok, I'm actually asking a serious question here. Married male and yes my wife crying does confuse the fuck out of me. Why? Why are you doing it? What is causing the little water to fall from your eyes? I don't understand getting up ....
Comment preview: Firstly, you can't really call those donations so much as "payments". My university isn't accepting my donations, I don't have the OPTION of paying them. They are payments in exchange for a service. Much like a business. What makes a part of your religious ....
Comment preview: Hi, I tried playing around with Tetris, but I never figured out the appeal of it. It felt like all i was doing was stacking blocks over and over, kind of like a glorified box stacking simulation. I know a lot of people love this game, and I've heard good t ....
Comment preview: So many props for hearing sound, reasonable arguments from a religious person. It's refreshing. And in the same spirit of arguing, instead of bashing and imposing your own view, allow me to respectfully criticize what I just watched. His argument rests on ....
Comment preview: > Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead? Because pressing the buttons hard keeps the contacts in contact with each other for longer, with that hopefully being long enough for the weak electrical signal to ....
Comment preview: >>clearly jokes are removed. >"ELI5: Why do tennis balls smell so good" That one was removed not because it was a joke, but because: 1. It's inherently subjective. In general, "Why do some people enjoy X" questions tend to get removed unless it's ....
Comment preview: Yeah! If everyone spoke perfectly without ever fumbling for a word, and never misspoke or rearranged consonants or anything like that, conversation would be way smoother! It's like, why do people go to the effort of sabotaging their own speech when they co ....
Comment preview: Why do people think they will add Suarez? I mean, they just got Bale, who was very expenisve, and Benzema is the same age and is putting goals, and the team is in a nice flow. Why add Suarez, who will need to settle in, don't do the same job and just...doe ....
Comment preview: Here's one that has puzzled me for a long time. How does the stock exchange work? What I think I understand: Stocks are ownerships shares of companies. When more people buy them, the price goes up. When less people buy them the price goes down. Sometim ....
Comment preview: Existential depression is a depression that arises when an individual confronts certain basic issues of existence. Yalom (1980) describes four such issues (or ultimate concerns ) death, freedom, isolation and meaninglessness. Death is an inevitable occurr ....
Comment preview: Just an FYI to everyone who says "Why do people feel the need to come out and tell everyone?" Here's some perspective: -Gay people absolutely hate coming out, but it's an evil necessity that you have to do the rest of your life. It's a terrible thing to ha ....
