Why is it that so many people who obviously have no grasp of the subject answer a question knowing full well they dont know what on earth they are talking about?\n\nWhat is it with this 2 points for typing some inane drivel when trying to help someone out?

You mean the ones that post things like "Thanks for the 2 points" and so forth. I understand your frustration. It almost makes me wish there was a penalty for posting an answer. Or maybe, you don't get anything for an answer unless it is chosen as a best answer.\n\nI don't know. The way I see it, Yahoo! has to make the final decision.

This is a good question. The way to solve this is just put "Serious Answers Only" If this doesn't help, I guess we'll just have to deal with it. I have problems with this too. Many people are like "are you so dumb as to ask this question?" Well, I guess I am, because I just did, just give me a good answer and move on with your life. It's not like answering a question you deem to be stupid will kill you. I mean it's not like everyone know everything! \nI totally agree with you. Every question deserves a good answer and I would really apreciate if people wouldn't look down at me and just tell me what they know!

Some people are here to entertain themselves. Some people are in it for the points, I guess. (Why else would someone answer "I don't know"?) Maybe one of your questions will get picked as a featured question. Then you will get more thoughtful answers. In the meantime, share your own knowledge and help to enhance the intellectual level of this site!

I agree with u, I'm not against anyone asking a question, but there surely is a "limit" to what people will ask ? I think the "people" that do ask these kinda questions are very 'shallow' people, and dont have enuf interest going on in their own 'sick + Perverted' lives, so they r bored and un-educated.

How come people do not get the point of yahoo answers. Let me explain this to you. \n\npeople come here, they ask questions. Other people post answers. This is not a site to make usless comments and to advertise illegal software. \n\nI am just getting sick and tired of these kids whose parents just let loose on the internet who cannot grasp this simple concept. I apologize to those I offend, but it is ridiculous.

When you come to this site, you have to come knowing that all sorts of people will come and give advice.  There are people giving answers that are not serious about their answers, some really are ignorant and unlearned, the worst are the ones who are racist and morally wrong.  When you get the answers, just disregard the bad ones and consider the good ones.  This is really what makes this site fun, at least sometimes.

Who defines Worthless? What seems worthless to one may be golden to another. If I read a question that doesn't interest me or I don't think that I have a good answer for~I pass it by and go on to the next. And since this is open to the public, you need to take that into consideration. Everyone is entitled to their opinion just because you or I don't agree doesn't make it wrong (or right). \nYou ask why people ask easy questions that they could find the answers for them selves by searching the net. Now this is just my opinion~but I think that they don't just want the answer but also others input about the answer.\nAnd yes it does get a little frustrating, nerve racking sometimes reading some of the BS on here!  But as I said earlier pass it on by and go to the next one!!\nI don't know if my answer helps or makes you feel any better but I sincerely hope it does! And I also hope that you have a Great Day!!!

y do so many people still ASK stupid questions (see above) on Yahoo Answers even when they know they don't get anything out of it? Exactly my point...

Your question bugs me...I was preparing a list of all the possible reasons idiots answer with a non-answer, like "I don't know" and "Read the Bible." (these are two of the more popular answers here, illustrating tremendous depth of knowledge and thought). I especially like the "answers" that many questions get in the very specific catagories. Someone will write an effective question, and I see the answers, "I hate gay people," or "Geez, ugg!.  And I especially like the advice given those who are having marital problems. Of these answers, "Divorce him/her" seems to be the number one sage advice given. And of course, there are the math problems where 50 people will give the same answer. (Once is never enough???) Well, I seem to have answered this question with a Non-answer...see how far I have come, congratulations are due me...pat, pat, pat.

Why do people lie here?  Any one here can view other posters Q&A.  I personally try to read a persons previous Q&A before I answer a question.  I have found that some are at best inconsitant.  Why?

Your question is actually a good one, one that brings attention to the moronic, idiotic tone and content they generally seem to address. \n\nThe reason for this in my opinion is that these questions are not written as genuine attempts to attain information but presented as a prank, a practical joke, like graffiti  as if they're being serious, but instead choosing the most bizarre, ridiculous topics purposely written in the goofiest most unintelligible manner possible for the fun and thrill of getting everyone. annoyed and riled up. \n\nIt's like an internet crank call. If a question appears too goofy, moronic. and stupid to be genuine then it's probably really just a goof.

I beg your pardon? \n\nIs this supposed to be a question? Because as far as I can tell it barley passe's for a coherent sentence let alone a question.\n\nYou sound like a total moron, just so you know.

Probably because there are some ignorant people out there.  There are some people who genuinely come to "Y Answers", looking for serious answers.  While others view it as an opportunity to ask irrelevant or sometimes disgusting questions.  Therefore, when you have a good number of people being silly and derogatory in their questions, you'll get silly and derogatory responses, and at times those people will spill over onto questions that are quite sincere.  I'm not trying to excuse anyone's behavior. I'm just thinking maybe that's the reason why so many people act so immature on here.  I must admit, though, that it doesn't bother me as much anymore because there are 10 responsible, fun and respectful people for every one of those ignorant ones.

newest stupid question i have seen: Why do people ask such ridiculously stupid questions? \n\n\nWow you are right, what kind of person wastes peoples' time with these questions...better yet, what kind of person actually bothers to read those questions or answer them or to copy them down for their own question....yep, i think you right you are stupid...

great point....    this is something that bothers many of us...  if you don't  have an answer - skip it,  and if you  have nothing good to say- say nothing..   obviously   too much common sense for some people...lol...

its all over yahoo answers...the questions either amount to little more than a rant about something, or the person asking is fishing for the answer they would give.  i would like to the think that the best answer would actually be just that, the answer that though its not what one wants to hear is the most informative or interesting...but nope...heck even some of my best answers have not been the best of the ones posted for a question.\nthe religious section is filled with it as well, like when someone asks, "is there a god, what do we need god for?" they seem to just be looking for someone to say of course and post the bible passage that says so, when it could be an interesting discussion.\nmore people just think they are right and want it validated i guess rather than to feel challenged...
