    Well some people may do that.

    But.... askers should also check that the 'questions' or the 'answers' is silly.

    I think many people has answerd your question about 'taking your horse to space' not in a way you like. that is because the question is irritating.

    you should ask a question in the manner of a real question, i too answered it differently.

    But sorry ,i dont mean to hurt your feelings.

    I do see a lot of answers from people who obviously don't know science. I don't think that is always bad, as it forces the asker to explore further (especially if there are contradictory answers) and not depend completely on YA. Everyone who posts question on YA should be aware that they may get poor and incorrect answers.

    Sometimes the questions are so poorly worded or just so ridiculous that they invite stupid answers. A quick search using Google or another search engine will often answer the question, or at least point the enquirer in the right direction. Paying more attention in class works as well.

    Well they shouldn't answer questions anyway. They can ask what they want though, but when the asker of a good question gets fooled into thinking an incorrect answer is correct, it is a shame.

    Science is no one's prerogative. Anyone can try them with their intelligence and common sense. But maximum people put down some answers just to score a point . I feel pity for them. Are not they cheating themselves. Let them accept their lack of intelligence.
