Why is it everyone takes the questions on here so seriously, no matter how stupid they are??

Believe it or not, people do care... I've seen some really good answers here. It's nice to know there are those who are actually willing to share their knowledge... sometimes even just to make someone feel better when there is no real solution.

I agree. The same questions keep getting asked over and over. I know there are those here that like to ask questions that get people irate, it's their form of entertainment. This kind of person has no other life. They are pitiful and obviously ignorant, immature and sick.

Because too many people take things too personally! They think these questions or comments are being directed to themselves for real and feel the need to defend. The truth is they are actually defending themselves TO themselves. Everyone here is just a mirror for the inner conflict that occurs.

Just like you said. People are stupid and think that your not serious about your questions. They might think that just because people on this site are really idiots and ask questions like how to su ck di ck they think that when ever some one has a question about lets say masturabating they think your not serious. So sometimes you just really gotta make people believe that your serious.

I agree with you. I think people do it to accumulate points rather than present a worthwhile and thought out answer. I asked some serious questions and received some smart aleck answers myself. Some of them displayed quite a sense of humor, though! It's what we make it, just like anything in life...

Why do so many people ask such stupid questions?  You know you really don't want an answer, you just want someone to tell you what you want to hear, and criticize those who don't agree with you.  A plea to all, please stop asking stupid questions that you don't really want an answer to!

Your questions are stupid, that's why.

It is really hard to tell the tone of people when they are asking questions.. As you see more and more of their postings you can tell when they are joking.. but at first sometimes people take sarcasm or irony for seriousness.

Most of the questions in every category are pretty stupid. You've got to wade through them a little bit and separate the wheat from the chaff, but I think it's worth it.\n\nI'd also point out that one of the beautiful things about YA is that anyone can post thought-provoking questions. If you're down on the quality of questions, it's up to you to raise the bar.

I understand what you are saying but we have to realize what appears dumb to one person may not to another. People are at different ages, different places, different educational levels in their lives so we must respect all questions and if we think they are "dumb", we just don't have to answer them. I do not like to see sarcastic or rude comments made even to the "dumbest" question. It can only be hurtful and serves no useful purpose. I just skip the ones that I don't like.

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...

Some people are overly intelligent, some are not.\nSome people seriously need an answer, then some people have a craving to see if they can get an other answer with a stupid question like yours.

Some people just wan tthe 2pts and others scale their answers to match the stupidity of the questions (and there really are stupid questions).\n\nI try to answer questions with accurate, complete and hopefully helpful answers if they are in my fields of study. \n\nBut sometimes I am in there with the 'matching stupidity' approach.

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.

Its better to be quiet instead of saying something stupid and being thought of as an idiot. It applies to this site because sometimes people just write stupid answers in questions and it would be better for them not to answer questions if they're not going to be serious because they'll look like idiots if they do.
