WHY do people answer the stupid questions....BUT don't answer the good ones tell me why?

It's better to give a dumb answer to a stupid question than to give a stupid answer to a good question. BTW, is this a stupid or a good one?

Sometimes you ask a question just to see what others think.\nThen you read it and think, YUP it is a STUPID question. LOL...

People don't answer questions on here properly because they are usually too lazy to form a proper sentence and really think about the answer to a question.\nThey just want the quick two points.\nIt's extremely annoying but on the upside for every five bad answers you usually get a really good informative and well thought out answer.

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.

Sometimes people arent as lucky to be "as smart as" you want everyone to think you were.\n\nsometimes young children might be embarrassed, might not have anyone they trust to answer those questions, or even not have anyone around.  Their questions appear to be petty to you, but to me they show what might be late bloomers when it comes to dating, appearance, reigigion or whatever.\n\nsome questions here come from childish people who just like to spark controversy, or release their racial impulses and condescention for others, but there are some ligitimate youngsters, and adults whos questions are real to them.\n\nSince when is it dumb to ask questions.\nIt only becomes dumb when someone else makes them feel dumb for asking.\nIf you dont like a question, dont answer it.  Let someone else come along willing to understand that theres a person behind the question.\nBe it for childish antics or because they are truly confused.\nBut Id hate to contribute to further ridiculing or depriving an already baffled person from something they cant get an answer for and are truly searching for one.

Yes, there a few gems stashed in amongst the rubbish on this forum.  It takes researching the profiles of people who give intelligent answers.  People who give good answers usually ask great questions.  Sometimes we have to put up with a lot of irritating nonsense to get through to the good stuff.  I suggest keep a list of people who ask good questions/give good answers and go to their profiles to answer theirs.  Who cares about points.  Let the others wear each other out.

It depends! Sometimes you find that people who already know what the answer is don't feel they can cope with the answer! So they ask to make sure that indeed there is a solution to their problem and to have their answer confirmed as 'the' answer to their question means they feel reassured that they're doing the right thing. Other people ask what other people would qualify as a silly question and it maybe to some if it isn't to them! Then again ... You have people asking questions for no other purpose but to get others react quickly! You know controversial questions!

There is stupid and then there is real stupid.  No offense, but your question, itself, could be called stupid by some people (not me of course).  If you ran a search with "Stupid question" you would find your question has been posted dozens and dozens of times.\n\nI really feel that if you think a question is that stupid or you don't think you can come up with a good answer then you should not bother answering it.\n\nI'll ask a question that I know could be considered stupid, and one that I could research myself.  But let's say, for instance, I'm really busy at work.  Then at least when I get home I'll have the answer to my question.  Hopefully, not one, that says, "Search for it on Google," to me that's just a dumb answer.  \nAnyways...have fun on Yahoo Answers.  :)

Some people ask questions to try to prove they can set a question that people will find difficult to answer.\nSome people ask questions that they think they know the answer to anyway, to try to convince other people to think their way.\nIt seems a waste of time and points to me, either way.

Because of curiosity, being stupid themselves, and wanting to see what other people respond to as (see curiosity).  Although I personally dont think you should ask stupid questions because it certainly isnt worth losing 5 points, although points dont matter.\n\nBut the good thing is, I just got 2 free points for answering this question!\n\nBWAHAHA I'm so evil.\n\nWell then everyone who answered any questions is evil.\n\nAhem ahem, cough cough.

Stupid questions are funny. it's hard to ask them in real world most of the time. here it is annonymous, so maybe your C/O or your teacher comes here post stupid question to know the answer ro to make fun and no one know who is he/she, then in real world you meet him/her and you see "how smart, guy/lady speak with very smart way!!" .

You will find silly people all through life! People sometimes just have terrible dispositions, and I don't know why! I think that people on here know that you don't know them, and they will never truly have to explain why they act the way they do. Therefore, they can be as rude as they want, and no one will ever know it was them. I don't take the website too seriously, but I respect people, and give honest answers. It would be nice if everyone played fair, but that isn't likely. I hope you have a good day, and try to have fun!
