Are some of these questions for real?

Really.. a lot of the questions i find on here are well just silly.. How long have you people owned a computer (I have since the late 70's before the pc) HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A SEARCH ENGINE? I guess my question is is has the intelligence of the average PC/Mac user deterioriated so much that "I" have to answer the simplistic questions that anyone could answer if they Bothered to looked (OK I can answer em.. research is what I do.. and I know how to read as well) I remember a day when it took talent and smarts to use a computer.. now a days they will sell one to anyone with a few $.. and yeah I do RESENT THAT! used to take talent back in the day.. now??? Umm not so much.. may as well have gone to a community college I Figure (and yes that was meant as an insult to those that took it as such)

Really 89/100 of these questions are common knowledge for a 6th grader... The serious questions I dont mind.. not at all.. but I do mind the ones that are to lazy or Umm deficient to at least

    Sometimes I do get the definite feeling that someone just wanted to see their question printed and elicit responses. (They call that trolling) We could steer them all to Yahoo search (which I sometimes do) or ask them if they have a good dictionary that they like. But once you get used to it here (too bad it's not a weekday but you are probably tied up through the week) you will find there are levels, not the points competition mind thing, but levels of questions. Try a difficult category and it will spark your interest. Don't leave too soon!! You have a good mind, even though you're mad, and we need you here. Good Luck!!

    u don't have to answer the questions u don't want to...if it bothers u so much, u can start ur own question/answer site and make it based on something

    i understand as far as questions like:"how invented coco cola?" goes...what u r getting at

    however...

    as far as questions such as ones about love and real life...people like to have answers personalized to them ... just the idea of someone telling YOU and not just reading what was told to someone else...it is very much more comforting

    and there are lots of people with pcs...and that's a good thing...people have the right to have fun with the pc as much as anyone else...

    and...ur english is pretty down the drain so please try to keep down ur insults towards others

    xao:)

    I find the best response to some "stupid" question is a five paragraph analysis answering the question in more technical detail than they may possibly comprehend without using a dictionary and search engine.

    It is fortunate for you that you are so gifted. It is fortunate for everyone else that using a computer doesn't require a genius intellect any more than driving a car requires an engineering degree.

    Why , BEGRUDGE or RESENT a phenomenon that connected the world and can educate everyone?

    Tha'ts just plain silly; it doesn't take talent to use a computer. Anyone with brain could operate one, it requires no talent - it's whether or not the person operating the computer uses that brain to think for themselves. Obviously, it doesn't take much smarts for people to operate computers because there are plenty of morons who use them... apparently. Who are you to complain? Seriously.

    seems such as you wanted to answer greater then ask :) i think of your appropriate approximately each thing being undertaking to each persons very own certainty and there rather isn't any collective entire. i think of every physique thinks there is one non-give up certainty yet in actuality certainty is what each guy or woman makes of it. And confident it does question the existence of each thing, an rather frightening prospect huh? think of roughly how some issues remember plenty to different human beings yet have no which potential in any respect to you and visa versa, neither guy or woman is sturdy or incorrect in questioning the two as a result they have their very own certainty.
