Why waste time. . . . ?

So I'm just curious as to why people come on here and waste eveyone's time by asking such silly questions? For instance "are all you people on here overweight?" What does it matter? Another one "Why do diapers stink?" Come on. . . this is a site to help others with your knowledge so why waste yours and everyone else's time?

No offense meant to anyone, I'm just curious as to why people ask such silly questions.

Update:

Ok so some of you think I'm doing the same, and you're probably right. But I'm talking about really lame things such as "why does my baby cry when I punch her". At least this question (as similar to the other lame ones as it is) stirs some thought process lol. Thanks for answering it though. . . .

    You realize what you're doing right?

  • I agree that there are some questions here that are over the line and just plan lame. However I would like you all to consider this. I have asked questions before that everyone that answered did not like the question, but to me it was important or I would not have asked it. To them it must be important, some of them anyway. It is also a way to

    find out if others think like you do. My two cents worth

    Why waste time with a question "Why Waste Time...?" ?

    I'm just curious as to why you would ask such a silly question.

    Either they are about 11 or have the mentality of an 11 yr old.

    I agreed w/ you. But hey, it was wasteful and mindless enough to beckon your attention. Then again, stupid questions deserves stupid answers. Lets turn it into something useful, like anger & stress reliever, just find a stupid question and beotch the **$$%#^&@ out of the questioner - it's like words punching...but be careful of the backkick. =)

    Actually im 11, and i think they ask cause they ant to know more about the world and other important stuff like what college they should do to or how to treat a certain wound.
