Why not search?
How come people dont search to see if the question their about to ask has already been asked? Could it be laziness?

It is a very nice,no I should say a very good question,but,to tell you wise guy no one has the time to search for the same question if ever asked.Also it is nice not to check coz you can get answers from many new people around the world who must have never read the question earlier and even it increases our general knowledge.
Happy to help ya!

Because that would eliminate the need for the following questions 1000 times daily (stated in clean, concise English, unlike most of the actual titles of the topics):
Why is religion the basis for all war?
If I started a religion, would you follow it?
Random insult comparison to Christianity and something bad
If I said I was God, would you worship me?
Are Christians retarded?
Why do you worship a God who allows suffering?
Another random insult about Christianity

Actually Yahoo does that search for you, each time you type in a question, before it finally gets posted.
Yahoo shows you all similar questions.

What Darth said.
I frequently ask questions that were asked before and, even, ask again some of my old questions, because I want to see what my friends' and contacts' (and many of them are new contacts) answers are.

maybe it has been searched but the answer they want wasn't given.
This is afterall, a community friendly answer and question forum, not Larry King. If question was asked before, please overlook. they may be beginners....
A little considration and patience goes a long way

Sometimes, a person wants to know what their contacts and friends think. This doesn't excuse the stupid drinking questions, though.

maybe people rather interact in real time. there is quality in this. I wouldn't worry about it. Questions will always be reasked and new answers will always come forth.

well that and is there an original question at this point? It would be the end of Y!Answers...
