...theres always a bunch of people that try to be smartasses and completely try to shut down the question rather than just give an answer to it. Or they try to be funny by giving a silly or unrelated answer, or they insult the questioner for not knowing the answer already. What are these people thinking?

Part of the answer to your question has to do with points. We get points for answering question. So, the more question they can answer with stupid, smart-*** comments, the faster they go up in points.
The second part of your question has to do with the ability to give a well thought out answer. Since thinking-for-oneself is obsolete, no-one has the ability to do it!
We are in a society of "Follow-the-leader", and do as your told. If it is "Cool", and everyone else is doing it, then they have to do it as well. People don't ponder anymore. They go through live as if all the questions in the world have been asked and there isn't anything else to elaborate on.
I'm sorry you are frustrate on the issue of asking questions, but I believe you have ask a very significant question! Remember there is a a level a maturity involved, and you are dealing with the internet. Their everywhere!!!

Could it be that they lack the intellect to see something from someone elses point of view, or do not know anything about the question at all. They are a class clown wanna be and here is the only place they can express their stupidity. I'm sure they just see you as a bit of text on the screen.

I just got an email from Yahoo about winning prizes for answering questions. Maybe the email goes to everyone with an ID, and then some of those people who are not really into this thing get involved just for the chance to win prizes,

that only shows the type of mentality, some if not most of the so called "people" over here at yahoo answers have to share with everyone. so its really not your loss. . lighten up.
