Or do you think that a lot of these questions are " set up " by people just looking to see how many responses they can get?
Lile" Can I go to jail for making out with my best friends under age daughter?"
Or " where can I get a fake ID?"
Or " how do I beat drug charges?"
I mean REALLY !! Are there THAT many plain ignorant people that would post some things like that when they KNOW they can be traced?

Most are going for the shock value. It isn't real. If you read a lot of these questions and seriously think about them, (before you respond)......"who" would be typing them. There are a bunch of KIDS on here too. You know how KIDS are.

You may find that the human penchant for idiocy & lack of "applied intellect," is UNBOUNDED. We are given to any number of short-comings as a result of developmental problems in the formative & high school years... There is also the question of the effects of long-term drug abuse. Some of those "wankish" questions that you repeatedly encounter may be from someone who's high on whatever when they pose the question. If you think ignorance is a crime, then we are all guilty. If what you are taking into exception with regards to your better sensibilities, is the sense that many show little effort to ask the most succinct & intelligent question of which they are capable, I then believe your little diatribe is justified!

You are right. A lot of questions seem like setups. I'm wondering if some people ask dumb questions so that their friends can be given the best answer, and get more points.
When I see people with 5,000 best answers, I wonder how that's possible too.

You mean you people actually take this whole yahoo! questions thing seriously? LMFAO!!!
These people probebly just feel like seeing all the bizzar answers they can get. And you people probebly give them hell for asking these dumb questions like saying
"That's the gayest question ever"
"Stop posting dumb questions retard"
"FAG!"
Those are some I see.
The people who ask these 'dumb' questions (myself included) again mostly want stupid answers (unless of coarse they really have a problem that strang). To be safe, give a stupid answer anyways. MAKE IT GOOD!
Remember, WE ARE PEOPLE TOO!
lol.

They just want to see how many and what responses they get. It's likely they don't know better.

In a forum such as this....you will get some trash and other undesirables as well as some sincere folks who came to give thoughtful answers.
