The problem is Yahoo! Answers charges the same number of points for dumb questions as smart questions. There should be a 'rate this question' button that answerers can use to either increase or reduce the point cost of questions (to the asker).

The only thing wrong with it is the assumption that there's something wrong. It's actually a perfect question. Spelling and grammar are spot on. It actually asks the reader something.
But the concept of asking what's wrong when nothing is wrong is either flawed or the asker actually believes there is an error when there isn't. So to the second situation my answer is simply "nothing is wrong with this question"
To the first situation - the flawed asking if there is something wrong when you know there isn't anything wrong... it's really a matter of point of view. In the context of Yahoo Answers, this could be wrong in that it isn't actually imparting any knowledge. It's a big waste of time to read and answer this, let alone debate it worldwide and have it presereved as part of this giant knowledge database.
Forgetting the location of the asking, you might think something was wrong with the question if the asker had some intent that we cannot perceive.

People usually ask questions on those topics to push a point of view, usually a radical and ridiculous one. They also may be trying to offend somebody of a certain race, religion, or organization. But sometimes you can find an actual question involving those topics.
If you see something that wasn't asked in the pursuit of knowledge but instead to spread hatred, you can just report it.

People are too lazy to do some research to see that these questions have been answered.
Others like to light it up by asking a question that is sure to generate some sparks.
The rest have nothing better to do than to fritter away five points.

I hear you! Immaturity is everywhere in here!
What is the point of a "report abuse" button if nothing is abusive?If SOME poeople just consider it a different point of view instead of disgusting they must get off on it.Personally I just go right by it.
Not worth my time.

I agree. I think there's just a bunch of dumb kids on here, I do my best to ignore them but it's often hard to find a question worth answering.

I bet most of them are children and teenagers who think that it is funny or sophisticated to talk about sex all the time. That seems to be what drives them!

I think a lot of people do it because they think they are being controversial or entertaining. I don't think many of them are seeking answers. If it is so boring why do you keep coming back?
