Why is it that...silly...questions....?

Why is it that if a silly poll question is asked everyone in the room jumps on it but if a lil' more serious question is asked - everyone is stumped? Are people really that simple minded?

    Questions seeking knowledge are difficult for some people not because they are simple minded but just not quick with the answers.

    They need to give some thought or others like me just need to locate the answer in my overcrowded memory.

    I like silly questions when they are funny or original. Let's face it, if someone can't find an answer to their question there are plenty places on the net to find the information. If they are asking people's opinions or thinking out loud, that's also informative for them. Otherwise, why ask!

    People would rather be funny than serious. There is much less risk of everyone realizing your an idiot.

    I think serious questions make you really think, make decisions and opinions and also makes you defend those opinions.

    Unfortunately there are people who would rather just not work that hard.
