Lack of education.They are mainly point gaming and can't be bothered doing any research for the answer.Also if they know the answer it is too time consuming for their 2 points.You have to remember as well it is the summer holidays and a lot of kids are on here just messing around.Have a nice day.

I am going to assume you are asking because you really want to know, like I do for any question I choose to answer. There, that is the reason why I answer questions on things I know something about.Yes, I can usually weed out the "stupid" and/or senseless questions, and the ones which are racist, inflamatory and such. I guess Forest Gump said it best, "Stupid is as stupid does." Have I got the quote right?

Cause most people here just want the easy 2 points. Most people also don't like to think hard about serious topics.

because a question deserves an answer. people differ. one thinks differently from another. with a serious question i have, what i do is say "please serious answers only". but still stupid answers get in the way.

Because people are playing games and we don't know what's a serious question.
