To someone who asks stupid questions, even a moderately intelligent answer would sound very intelligent.
Perhaps those of us who ARE intelligent are trying to turn a light on in the stupid's brain. We are, in a sense, a teacher.

That's only because intelligent people only know how to answer intelligently. That makes a stupid questioner realize that they are stupid.

Well, generally the reasons for these responses made by the public are trifold:
(1) First, the composite mass of the sum of the human species is greater than sum of the stupidity of the minority.
(2) Second, the curious nature of mankind drives them to comprehend mysterious or unclear stimuli, resulting in rationalization and overintellectualization.
(3) Finally, regression to an earlier intellectual platform is not the more preferrable solution; thus, sustaining confidence in present intellectual capability supercedes.

Perhaps we are trying to show that even the stupidest questions can be answered with logic,every question has its answer so why not present that answer in an intelligent way , Maybe it will become contagious and all the world will become infected with infinite wisdom and come down with a case of smartness.

I can't say for sure but maybe because the stupid questions need the intelligent answers.

Someone beat me to the punch...my first reaction was: There is no such thing as a stupid question. Anything that gets people talking and communicating is a good thing. Why do some people give rude, stupid answers to a really good (and serious) question? I have the answer...but I don't want to get too philosophical on you (cough).

Because intelligent people just don't want to believe that anyone can really be that stupid.

some times stupid questions really make u think. it gives food for your thoughts. intelligent questions are straight & they get straight answers. your learnt knowledge is enough to answer those questions. but so called stupid questions have lot of inner meaning u have to dig your brains to get it.once u strart digging your brain u get sometimes precious gems & sometimes just mud. these precious gems are intelligent answers. which u see in this site.am i right ?
