so a lot of people ask me stupid questions so I don't answer, knowing full well that they can figure problems out with the brains that God gave them. You know, if there was more initiative taken on individual parts to take on the problem, our lives would run smoother.

to all the smartasses, I think that asking this question is perfectly appropriate.

hahaha!! There is a lack of 'critical thinking skills' these days!! It's kinda scary ~ sorta like people have pulled their brains over to the side of the road and placed in 'neutral', or ever worse "Park". Sometimes I think they have turned their brains off entirely!! As for initiative, well, apathy and just plain laziness rule ~~ all this is just my opinion of course!!

It all depends on what your outlook is. Einstein was blessed with a lot of intelligence by the Mighty ONE. He could potentially look down upon the vast majority who could not figure out answers that were very obvious to him.
The Lord has given us all needs, physical, mental and spiritual so we may bond together by connecting with those who fulfill your needs. In my view being kind and answering them their questions, however silly or lazy they may seem may bond you with them in the name of the Almighty. Associate or try to associate your actions to serving the Almighty and they turn into blessings just because of your intention. If you fulfill my need and I fulfill yours, we are bound together and ultimately the whole World is like a grand puzzle that is waiting to be bound, until there are no unsatisfied souls... which is literally heaven on Earth.
Every need has a satisfaction floating around on the planet to connect. Like atoms and ions, when the needs of the electrons are fulfilled, the material stabilizes. When everyone who does not know connects with the one who knows, they will bond and become larger and perhaps together serve our COMMON CREATOR!
Utlimately the most wise and knowledgeable and the most ignorant and stupid person may not have that much of a gap if you look at the limits of knowledge and intelligence. The sand grain and the pebble may differ in size, but when compared to the mass of the world, their difference becomes insignificant. So it is when we look at our knowledge and intelligence and compare to the INCOMPARABLE LORD ALMIGHTY, where the example of sand grains, pebbles and Earth itself becomes an absurdity due to the infinite differences between us and the Creator.
TRUE WISDOM will teach us that any wisdom or knowledge is acquired along the way, and is not absolute or intrinsic. We all learn by asking questions and getting answers.
Giving answers is a quick way of connecting with the MIGHTY ONE!! It does not cost us anything, and it helps someone, as long as they are sincere and not playing games. If they are playing games, then we can just avoid the immature ones.
I hope I make sense.

True, people should learn to rely on themselves a bit more. Learn to accomlish something by way of your own accord. However sometimes everyone needs a bit of advice and that's when they come to a place like this.
I would like to make a counter question: Why do these people asking advice here get muddled responses like "let God tell you" in return? Why not just give them a straight answer?

First off a question that you think is a dumb question another person might think of as a difficult question.
I mean think about it; a question that you would ask; a person with a doctrine in the field might think of as a stupid question.
Now there are questions that are joke or preeching questions; neither of these are real questions. So no answers needed.
There are no stupid questions, just stupid answers.

Thinking out things causes the mind to work and many people do not want to work their mind and end up in dead end jobs that eventually go to China.
You will be successfull from the sound of things because I bet you have a great work ethic too.

There's nothing wrong with asking for help...But I know what you mean. I think most of the idiotic questions on here are from young kids or the eternally dumb....In which case they won't listen anyway.

Because society and the media teach them that emulation is the way to success and popularity. Free will and logic are in short supply these days.

Yeah, but then smart people wouldn't be able to make any money solving the dumb people's problems...

This is the all time most ridiculous question, and you can’t even figure it out for yourself.

I simply believe that most of that is based upon natural american stupidity...not due to any religious upbringing...
