Why are all the questions on here stupid?

Update:

I was away for a couple years. The questions used to be mostly intelligent, and took some thought to answer. Now it seems to just be people killing time; saying anything, as opposed to twiddling their thumbs or playing tic TAC roe. Did yahoo change something? Is it a trend? Nobody seems to really want to ask something they don't know, or really get an answer.

    I agree,it used to be a good place to get advice.Since it became popular with trolls and school kids obsessed by sex,drugs and junk food & reporters out of control it has gone down alarmingly.Sometimes I despair when reading some of the rubbish posted here & even more so when so called top answerers lower themselves by acknowledging it with serious answers.Good Q,keep it up.

    To be honest, if Yahoo Answers could change anything on this site, I'd like to see a filter that automatically excludes questions about how to commit suicide, questions directed to atheists (I've yet to see one that didn't come from a troll, anonymous or otherwise), questions about borderline scatological sexual practices, and to lit the ban on people who, like myself, will call out others for the stupidity of their questions. Yes, you can get flagged and penalized for saying that someone is a pervert for wanting to know how to get fellatio, but Yahoo has no problem with someone asking that question in the first place.

    That is the product of our public school system. They stopped teaching civics about 70 years ago, so we now have two whole generations of citizens who have no idea how to control their government, not even the local school board.

    Until I saw this one I thought there was no such thing as a stupid question.
