Again: If you think a question is STUPID, why do you answer it???

An excellent question--you beat me to it.  I wonder the same thing.  I think it's because some people just want to say something critical or nasty.  One person's stupid question gives  another person a good laugh for the day.  If they think it's a stupid question they should just shut their piehole, don't you think?

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.

DONT ASK THE SAME QUESTION TWICE! IT JUST MAKES YOU LOOK STUPID!

I've always heard there is no such thing as a stupid question. Maybe some people ask something that seems stupid to you because you already know it, but remember at some point you did not know the answer.\n\nSome questions on here that seem to be stupid are people just having fun or being funny or whatever.

You just asked a question.  Consider why you asked the question.  You could have wanted an answer.  Then again, you could have simply wanted to start peoples brains moving.  I could ask you why you asked the question, but then I would be asking a question, a pointless one, because I don't care why you asked your question.  Only one can know why they truly ask any question.

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.

Some people say there is no such thing as a stupid question, so, if you believe that, then stupid questions do not exist, and there is therefore no such thing as people who ask or answer stupid questions.  I personally think that people who answer with the phrase "this is a stupid question" would be pretty low on the list of intelligence, since there is not any real point to posting a non-answer to a question.  If someone thinks a question is stupid, they should most likely just avoid it.  I personally like to believe that there is no such thing as a stupid question, just poorly thought out questions, asked by stupid people.  \n\n"Arguing on the internet is like running a race in the special olympics, even if you win, you're still retarded" -Sour Bob on his site, quite some time ago.

Why would you waste 5 points asking such a rediculous question?!?!

Because you don't have to put any thought into answering stupid questions or coming up with stupid answers.\nAlso stupid questions don't usually call for an opinion that you can back up with a coherent argument.\nStupid questions also tend to be band wagon questions so if you don't know the answer just repeat what the person ahead of you said.\nSociety, in what is a very scary development, has become accepting of answers that are wrong and/or stupid.  I don't believe you should tell someone they are unintelligent, but when they are being stupid you need to tell them.\nThe ignorant loudmouths have also developed, and society has let them, the attitude that they will just keep repeating themselves as loudly as possible no matter what you say and how wrong they are until the person with the intelligent answer just gives in because they have better things to do then argue with an idiot.\nAnd lastly answers to stupid questions are mostly short and don't require the ability to type and use halfway decent English and spelling.

sometimes i wish that we could fix it, but then i read a really funny BS question or answer and i change my mind.  i suppose that the nature of this site is to be able to ask (almost) anything, regardless of how stupid.  on the other hand, when someone asks a really stupid question, isn't it fun to give a really BS answer back?  tis the nature of the beast, i suppose.
