    I believe the key word in your question is, "ignorant."

    I realize, as I'm in hopes most people do, that a great number of questions are purely asked to see if they can pee in someones cornflakes - but, every so often, the phrase,"Ignorance is bliss" comes shining through.

    My favorites: (paraphrased)

    Why don't we pull our troops out of Iraq and, when they attack us again, we can tell the anti-war people to shut up?

    With all of the controversy over the Iraq war, why aren't we doing more about the murders in Darfur?

    Bush is Hitler?

    And, then, of course, any list wouldn't be complete without the conspiracies:

    9/11

    Area 51

    Sen. Wellstone's plane crash

    Kennedy assassination

    Jet vapor trails

    and on, and on, and on, and on.

    Added note: These are actual quotes about some of the "sources" that I took the time to check (you know, the ones that "prove" the above conspiracies)

    "...who spoke on the condition that he would not be identified..."

    "...officials familiar with the technical team's reports...."

    "...one expert who studied....."

    "....none would consent to being identified by name...."

    "...a secret fact finding mission to Iraq...."

    "....said one of the experts...."

    "...six government officials...."

    And some of the sources who were actually named - a little research and:

    ....anti war activist who claimed that there were no planes involved in 9/11 - they were missiles surounded by holograms to look like planes....

    ...previously wrote a book about the evidence supporting his contention that Jesus had visited ancient America.....

    ....was under indictment for criminal slander for statements he had made about a previous conspiracy.....

    None of the "sources" had ever published any of their "proofs" in any type of scientific venue or main stream media. (web sites and blogs seemed to dominate their outlets)

    It gets pretty scary at times when their questions indicate a sincere belief in their convictions. Entertaining, but, none the less, scary.

    The one below is an example of what I consider to be the stupidest qeustions on Yahoo Answers. They are asked by Liberals and Conservatives alike, and they are not a request for information, just a request for like-minded idiots to chime in.

    These questions cheapen us, demean us, and make us all so much less than what our founders dreamed. Jefferson and Adams argued vehemently on many issues, but they did so with respect and intelligence, not ignorance and insult.

    I might desire to agree that maximum individuals posting questions and maximum the solutions are greater or much less taking on wasted area. maximum of my solutions are suitable examples of it. some are easily severe and a brilliant sort of are bothered with sarcasm. What i've got stumbled on is maximum individuals right here won't be able to tell the adaptation in sarcasm, seriousness or fact in existence besides... So I upload humor too as quickly as in a brilliant mutually as. between the main valued products of training I ever won became into from a instructor who suggested, the mentality of an commonplace citizen (bearing on us right here contained in the USA) became into that of a 13-year-previous adolescent. by all bills his assertions have been "on spot" with the philosophical accuracy on only what proportion morons stay between us.

    Was 9-11 an inside job? Got to be the stupidest.

  • 1 decade ago

    The question was Should I buy a t shirt proclaiming "Kill all sex offenders"? Talk about promoting vigilantism!

    I also love the ones posted by either far right or far left fanatics who assume that adherents to the opposition party all feel and think exactly the same. Examples like: all conservatives think abortion is wrong or that all liberals think socialism is wonderfuMF

    Any one of many conspiracy theories pertaining to the insane notion that our government orchestrated 9/11! These go beyond ignorant!!

    The questions that aim to attack individual users, or questions posted by clones, are by far the stupidest. Everything else, no matter how much one may disagree with the opinion behind the question, is not stupid, but it may be incorrect.

    Do you think the Neocons will orchestrate another 9-11 before the election to get more votes?

    or something to that effect.

    I'm not a conservative but that was too ridiculous not to ridicule.
