Why are there so many people giving uneducated opinions instead of answers?

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.

It seems to me that on Y!A many people are not looking for answers, they are looking for someone to abuse and belittle, from the safety awarded to them by the anonimity provided by the Internet. Unfortunately it seems that there is not much to be done about this matter. Hopefully when they become used to Y!A they will get bored of it, and will not persist in sharing their hatred and small minded opinions with the world.

I feel your pain on the issue.\n\nI think a lot of the problem is revolving around the fact that 90% of the people here asking questions are just attempting to start an arguement or cause drama. Which, is not hard to accomplish since 90% of the people answering these questions aren't in it to solve a problem for someone, but to state their own belief only for the purpose of attempting to over-power someone else's belief or establish that they are correct, and only they.\n\nIgnore it. There's nothing you can do to change this. It's a matter of battling stupidity.

Dumb people from lala land are scared of being ripped off and have a lot of questions.\n\nMaybe we can find someone who is wise enough to act as the answers judge and act to banish the boring and tedious among the questioners.

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.

ppl who are racist are uneducated some of the question and answers are just ignorant

There are innumerous people in this site that pass judgement, why they come no one really knows. So while it may seem a little silly sometimes you need to put in a disclaimer i.e. note that you're not asking to challenge but for information or to have an intellectual discussion hopefully that should minimise the backlash, but then again everyone likes to have a bitch.\n\nLuck!

Some of us are on here to really offer our opinion as you are while there are some who just want to try and disgust people. Ignore them and answer the serious ones.\nI come on here for about an hour a day (my lunch hour) and try to offer suggestions to others who ask real questions.\nI'm sure you can do the same.\nGood luck!

I think mostly people are asking opinion questions to see if what they are already thinking agrees with their peers.\nSome are needing help with their homework and have noone else to turn to.\nSome are asking questions they would be made fun of if they ask their friends.\nAnd some are looking for a true answer, website link or fact to something they either can't find on the web, or don't want to weed through 1,873 websites to find.\nAnd yes.. some are here just to goof off

Hadn't noticed nor do I care, people are people and I have not seen any arguements over the best answer picked. Some people may simply think it was not the best answer and give it a thumbs down due to that. All that matters here is the asker was satisfied.

Without alot more details in these questions and proper training its really hard to give an accurate answer, and most are after the points so they could care less how they answer until they really need an answer and see how many idiots are really out here that have absolutely no business giving answers. Then you have people out there asking stupid questions fueling these other idiots to give stupid answers on subjects they have no idea about.

well, we do get something in return like when we ask, when we answerer's different opinion and ours might be wrong and when we vote for an undecided question. But i think most likely people come here because they are bored or lazy to do work or want to lough, that's why silly question gets more answer than a real question simply because we're not in the state of mind to think

Because there are a lot of moronic people answering questions. Sometimes I'm one of them. But just remember your not always going to agree or like what they say. That's when you ignore them. By the way congrats on the big day.

That is because there is a band of not so smart not the majority party supporting type people running around clicking thumbs down on every answer. Within minutes of most answers being posted there will be several thumbs down trying to hide good answers because they aren't intelligent enough to debate the answers. \n\nAlso they try reporting you for violations of the rules even when you post a very legitimate question on certain topics that they disagree with.\n\nThis has turned into a joke as do most conversations with misinformed, biased, and uneducated folks.

People get enthusiastic about talking about their faith, or talking about an issue that seems to involve their set of beliefs. It just so happens God is a hot topic, espeically on these boards. Part of the problem may be (and i have to admit i dont know what your questions were) no feels they know enough to answer your questions. Much like most people on here id imagine, i try and answer questions that i think i can have some benefit to the asker. If your questions were either too specific or about an area no one felt comfortable answering (other than the wiki paste) then that might be why.
