    When I'm online or in real life when I say hi to someone or when I ask a simple.question.the whole conversation turns completely stale it's like people don't like to be asked questions no matter how simple but aint questions apart.of conversations

    Maybe you need to ask more open ended questions or maybe change the nature of the q's you ask....I dunno really. Give examples, perhaps.

    Those is three questions.
    People do speak in the streets in the UK.
    Men and women also.
    Not doing politics.

    i don't know the context, but you don't just say "hi, nice to meet you. is there a lot of malaria where you're from?"

    One why are people so isolated.:
    they're not, i can't get a fucking minute to myself most days.

    why is being social a horrible thing.:
    it's not horrible, but it is exhausting.

    I don't even see women and men speak i n the streets anymore why don't politicians ever mention a black agenda but everyone else:
    what?

    You, asking a simple question: "How many fingers do you have on your left hand?"

    Conversation partner: "Do you count the thumb as a finger?"

    You: "Yes."

    CP: "Five."

    End of conversation. Crickets chirp. CP coughs awkwardly. Silence. Nothing stale about that.

    ------------------

    Here's the problem. Asking someone a simple question is usually uninteresting. Asking "How is your country?" is not a simple question. It's like saying, "so, tell me about your life" to an 80-year-old. Shoot for something in the middle.

    It all comes back to "draining the swamp," doesn't it?

    Certainly not a lot of malaria, but I have some family in the US, and my grandfather's brother got malaria while in the army and stationed in Louisiana. They sent him home to sleep and drink quinine, and about a year later, when he could stand again, he put his uniform back on, picked up his rifle, and came to Europe to fight Germans.
