Well, teenagers always think they know everything, and some people never mature any farther then that.  For those of us who grow up, we can be our weird selves and know that we don't have all the answers.

Stupid questions come from ignorance.

I'm agree with you about your words 'serious questions get serious answers in my book. but stupid questions get stupider answers (with a bit of raunchiness in it) :D'\nbut when serious people ask stupid question gets sarcastic answer, they can get really unhappy bout this and start attacking back at you.

I think the majority of users are young teenagers who use answers.yahoo.com as a playground.  \n\nPersonally, I think the concept is great and would be better if there were age limitations on the site, with it reserved for adult users over the age of 18.  Perhaps yahoo could create a site for those who just like to waste bandwidth (such as the place is now) and a site for those who really want to make Answers worthwhile.

People who ask silly questions aren't really interested in this, in how it works and why-- they're just bored people vegging out in front of the computer instead of the TV.  If they're doing this and still bored then it's not something to do for fun or to learn things but a way to kill time-- dead!  They turn into zombies in front of the computers and ask no important questions (to them or anyone else) and give few or no good questions to others' answers, then complain of boredom.  That's because they aren't really thinking or becoming involved in what they're doing, they're just vegging, like I said-- or more like becoming zombified.  By the way, my favorite stupid question was when someone just asked, "Hello......?"

I notice this big time.. there should be certain categories that they can lurk in.. and certain categories that adults can go into and chat, answer questions, etc... \n\nThat's just my opinion.. cuz I really don't care to answer dumb questions like, whether or not if a boy likes them in school or whatever! lol\n\nBesides, the way its set up here now, older ppl can prey on the young and cause alot of problems as a result.

I am 24...and I can see what you mean about people being under 40.  Some of these questions seem like they come from kids trying to be funny.  Regardless, it is an amusing place to waste time...and sometimes actually help someone with a legitimate question.  I have gotten some good answers on here as well that helped me with home theater and PC questions.  Take care...and just enjoy the questions...as ridiculous as they can be.  You have to admit...it can be quite entertaining for bored people or people with insomnia.

Most of these questions seem to come from teenagers.  Teenagers are still sorting out their new feelings and emotions.  That also makes them inexperienced in relationships.  They in turn seek advice on Yahoo! Answers whereas they may be unable to approach their friends or parents for advice without being judged.  \n\nSome of the questions from older people seem to come from immature adults in their 20s that are in bad situations and are looking for vaildation or strength to leave their current situation.  A lot of 20-somethings with married men.

I think alot of these questions which are coming back over and over again is due to the fact that alot of guys here are probably younger males who don't bother searching the database first to find answers to their questions.\n\nSo you get younger lazy folks who just post their questions away, and since there's so many of them (young males) the same questions seem to be popping up again and again. \n\nIn terms of asking more in-depth questions, I myself thought I had (in the past) but I was either rudelly answered, or got my answers deleted and lost points... Not that it's all that important, but still, it makes you wonder...\n\n\nSo basically it's OK to ask the same question about 15 times a day but if you ask one about fetishes, modern practices, or taboos, you are judged harshly and dealt with punishment from Yahoo. \n\nYou may notice I answer more questions than I ask, and I also don't answer alot of them since they are, in fact, repeats of previous ones...\n\nI mean how often will you see questions like "Is Masturbation Evil?" or "Am I big enough?" and the like per page? Even those who refuse to read or search for their answers can find a similar one just a few questions below theirs. \n\nLike I said, I think is mostly a question on numbers (young guys) and lazyness...\n\nCheers

If you check their other questions, you'll find that they are just fooling around. Most of the time, at least one of their other questions will be- "I'm 14 N want a cell phone. Mom sez No. What do U think." \n\nOr something to that effect. That text message dialect is a dead give away that it's just a kid playing around.

most intesting? not shure about that, but i can tell you i daily find some interesting and funny question raging from witty to plain stupid.\n\nthe lattest interesting question i've found is on my source:

The average age is probably 18-21.  And yes, while  occasionally interesting questions do get asked here, most of them are terrible.  What really surprises me are the lack of basic English writing skills I see on here.

You are perfectly right and it is concerning.  I have seen hundreds of questions which are really homework questions.  This would certainly discourage kids from studying and finding answers on their own.  Perhaps I would suggest Yahoo to block access to users who are less than 18 years of age.\n\nIts also the responsibility of Yahoo users to direct students and not spood-feed them.

Maturity would also be in knowing that there are literally thousands of people answering these questions, and therefore there will be a large scale of different reactions. Because you are using the internet for your "fun" part of life, doesn't necessarily mean that someone else will be. Maybe to some, they feel to answer with anything other than how they feel about a question, or to not take the time to use spell check is even worse than someone telling them not to be so serious. Anyhow, whose to know just who actually is asking a serious question and some of us are taking it as a joke. I think it is you that needs to lighten up a little :-)

Maybe because it takes a STUPID, SILLY, MEANINGLESS mind to ask STUPID, SILLY, MEANINGLESS QUESTIONS
