People answer all of the 'stupid' questions because they know the answer to those 'stupid' questions, whereas people do not usually know the correct answer to a serious question. Therefore, they only answer questions that they know the answer to, and ironically not answering the serious questions because they don't know the answer to it.
My guess is because serious questions are in need of research; stupid and obvious ones are easy-to-answer.
No. But asking stupid, pointless questions on WikiAnswers is.
Probably for a number of reasons. Sometimes people think that it is amusing to answer a stupid question with a serious answer. Sometimes we aren't sure if a kid is asking who doesn't know the answer. And sometimes, it just passes the time.We have a number of people who ask the opposite... why don't we answer questions, even when they are stupid... so might as well cover the bases, and help out who we can. We hope that more people will join us in making the world a better place by answering people's questions. :)_____One of the tenets of the WikiAnswers site is that there are no stupid questions. What may appear to be a foolish question may result from a lack of understanding by the asker, or some cultural or language issue. So where a question is valid, it is eligible to receive a serious and informative answer.However, what most users do not see are the many thousands of blatantly nonsense questions, and many more that are unanswerable, which are regularly removed from view on the site.So you may see a question that has been declared not to be nonsense despite its simple or unusual nature. No such question should ever receive a nonsense answer, although a few may elicit humorous answers by their nature.
ask stupid questions on wikianswers, and hope she emails you.
To answer questions, especially stupid ones like the one you just wrote. Numbskull.
My favorite rabbit is the "you're flooding wikianswers with stupid questions" rabbit.
Because the purpose of the website is to create a common place for people who have questions and people who have knowledge to interact with one another, by asking and answering questions. If unwanted/unnecessary questions are allowed, the main purpose of the website would be defeated. Hence, they are not allowed
Hey, wait a minute here! :-) There's a big difference between serious contributors and stupid people or vandals. Serious answerers do read the questions thoroughly and try and answer them the best they can, which is clearly and to the point more often than not.
Don't ask stupid questions like this it brings no value to wikianswers.
because i answer stupid a s s questions like this on wikianswers all day.
So they can post stupid questions like this on Wikianswers
Because the majority of people who ask the questions are stupid people. Isn't it sad? I can't necessarily argue with the above comment - however, what amazes me most is not the poor grammar, it is the lack of context and content.
