Have all the people with serious questions and answers abandoned ship?

No...if you ask a serious question, I, along with some others will provide a serious answer. Don't leave as we need serious and honest questions about all cultures without a mean connotation.

I see few questions that are serious, but when I do, I try to respond in kind. I agree with you, it's sad to see the 'rate my looks' questions and the "for a good time call" done all in caps to avoid deletion. I also don't like the obviously racist questions, and I will not respond to those with serious answers.

I hope the caliber of the questions picks up, but remember, you have to have intelligence to ask an intelligent question.

There are too many trolls in the R&S section people have just given up asking and answering and have just left it to the trolls and the atheist to entertain each other,in this section its pretty much just became a discussion forum but its not as bad as the R&s section.

just don't expect many answers is all. sadly most trolls die when hit with an actual question they have to think about. their lungs collapse trying to get oxygen to their brains too fast, it's not pretty. now ask something something mindless and they'll trip over themselves tryin' to get to it.

This site is now trollpalooza.

R&S hasn't lost all hope, still intellectuals there, but any other section makes you lose faith in man kind.

This one, Politics, and Polls&Survey. -.- Troll paradise.

if you ask a serious question, im pretty sure you will get a serious answer.

no, but a lot of users avoid the more serious thought provoking questions.

I think because most come on here for entertainment purposes.
