    They figure someone else will do it for them. If they did the search themselves they would learn so much more. So, all in all it is called total laziness.

    I agree, i think of that some human beings in simple terms choose to submit a query. those I hate the main are the "do you think of i seem warm" ones. those are even worse than the "must be googled" ones. i think of that some are for interest and a few are in simple terms stupid people who choose interest for purely a 2d or 2. I many times ask questions for which I actually choose suggestion, information, or feedback on, some human beings could locate my questions stupid besides. yet I particularly have observed diverse those with questions that are greater particularly discovered than approaching here. The stupid question button could be a brilliant addition. super concept.

    Sometimes, not always, it's easier to get a direct answer from a few people than searching through a bunch of sites for what you need.

    I agree, but some questions I ask here (recipes and such), because I like getting stories that go along with them. And I also like things that have been tried as you may get tips along with it.

    I know I can go to allrecipes.com and such, but sometimes, I like the add'l information that you get by coming here.

    Sometimes you can get a better answer from other people than you can from a Search engine.

    Because if they did not there would not be a web-site for Yahoo Answers and you would not be asking this question!

    Since others are willing to do the research for 2 points, why not give it to them?

    Well, you could call it laziness. But it does give us something to do to earn more points.... How lame is that?

    That would make too much sense. You expect these people to go to a search engine and search for themselves? Yeah right. LAZINESS!!!
