A Poll about the Askers: Are some really ignorant (or stupid)?

Everyday I try to help people on Yahoo! Answer's with their Question or Problems. I am sure, many of you have wonder about why they are asking these questions, which should be: Common-Sense, easy to do Searching, or the questions are really a matter of their personal taste. Like many of you who Answer their questions, I want to answer them candidly but Yahoo! Answer Guidelines forbid it. I try to be understanding, that some are young [rarely do we know the age of the Askers], or there maybe a language problem, but I really hate to feel they are really stupid. Obviously, There are "Trolls" but usually they are easy to ignore and I do not to even bother answering their question.

Question: Are some Askers, really that ignorant [AKA: Lacking knowledge is area]?

    Not just some askers.

    People generally are not as intelligent or aware as many of my generation are.

    What a world I will leave behind.
