Grab for Attention?

CrazyDaisy · ‎03-20-2010

Guess I do not understand the need for some people to post on topics they have no interest. It could be the Royal wedding, Hollywood celebrities, television show, what ever. Why do people feel the need to post "that they are not interested or have better things to do" rather than just pass over the topic and look for something that interests them.

Someday, when scientists discover the center of the Universe....some people will be disappointed it is not them.

I honestly don't see it as a grab for attention. They simply want to voice their opinion. It's all good.

My best guess is just because they can and there are no other threads that do interest them at the moment to comment on.

Just my thoughts......

I guess they think we need their opinion too....a balance sheet or something.

I've wondered this myself.

Oh a hundred hearts to you for this post.Why would you even waste your time reading subjects you aren't interested in, let alone post these negative comments all the time ? It's a mystery to me.

Not saying they could not voice their opinion, yet how can they discuss a TV show that "they would never watch". What does that add to a converstaion? Why bother?

Maybe they did watch it once or twice and did not like it.

They dont want to give their opinion on the topic, what they do is give a snarky comment to the writer of the posts.....others chime in with additional snarky remarks at the people, not the topic, and the whole thread that was once an enjoyable discussion gets shut down because of snarkfests ! That's not good.....
