Why do people ask questions on HubPages that can be more easily answered by a search engine?

Perhaps trying to increase hubscore profile, or that could not get the right answer through search engines... that's a guess.. :).

Well if someone is in hubpages they ask question to get real opinion of different types of people .

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
