Why are so many Asker too stupid to look for an answer?

Stupid questions such as who was xyz or what is thing ABC - ,acronymn SAP, or what's the meaning of the word blahdeblah etc.

Don't these people know about google, wikipediea, and dictionaries.

If you need an answer quick and want to trust it you should go to proper reference material.

If you want a set of opinions and can wait a while - come to Answers.

My questions is why are so many people too lazy to look ? Is it that they can be bothered but simply want the attention? Is it that they truely don't know how / where to look? if so is it worth even giving them the answer as it's most likely that they wouldn;t know what to do with it.

I am interested in your opinions - as a kind of social straw poll.

Update:

Thanks - nice spread of "OPINIONS" -

Yup - I did ask for opinions and not answers (which ain't searchable on the internet ).

And I am not upset by ignorant people - just curious about how they manage to tie laces / cross the road and do a job without having to bother the person next to them.

I don't condem ignorance - I do try to educate and be educated - but I also think you gotta look before asking.

Also I am not an A$$hole - If I have executed a typo / spell error then maybe it's because I am accessing via an environment that bars java applets and simply typed directly in.

I had no idea that the definition of A$$hole was a person who makes a typo. Thanks.

    it somewhat is judgemental. all and sundry has the applicable to ask questions that are of there choosing. in basic terms considering the fact which you could know what an answer is for you does not provide you the applicable to trash others. we are all at distinctive tiers in our lives. You look dismissive, do you forget approximately approximately textual content cloth messages, emails and so on., Do you come across that folk look disillusioned once you talk with them for a mutually as? Has all and sundry advised you which you're unkind? perhaps you have been injury b4 & now you lash out at others, perhaps you experience 3 hundred and sixty 5 days greater suitable? you will possibly be injury in basic terms as others- delight cometh b4 the autumn

    One: people enjoy asking questions. maybe they do not realise others know how to use google and wikipedia.

    Two: as long as people answer this type of questions, there will be askers.

    I have many times answered like this

    Google: 1.350.000 hits

    or

    see wkipedia

    one called me dirty names because I told him to use the net, very funny

    I f you are bothered by this type op questions, do not answer them or show people the way.

    Have a nice day. I hope you will find many interesting questions to day.

    well sometimes what happen when we are googling , we can't get what we want ... for example i was looking for what sort of phrase is : Write down, fell off, fill in, etc ... coz in my language we only need to say: write, fell, fill, ect ... but in English ... they seem have to have a helper ...

    so how to google then? i even don't know what sort of phrase they are?

    when i asked it on this yahoo7 answer.... even though they can't answer it correctly but at least i still got "a basic idea" of what it is

    Oh Wayne, Wayne, Wayne. Jus to submit that question was making ur own point. When something angers/upsets u it's ur own issue. What is it about ignorance that inflates ur ego? Maybe u can try a lil' tolerance & u may not suffer a heart attack with all that rancor.

    Then what would be the point of this forum??? It's for asking questions and that would be missing the point, it's just a fun way to get as many oppinions as possible, no-one is asking you to read those "irritating questions"!!!

    Perhaps they are also interested in opinions which i believe is the point of you asking this question as well.

    I don't answer questions like that unless on rare occasion I tell them to google something. People are strange.

    It would make this site a bit pointless if everyone used wikipediea etc...
