Why is it that questions which appear to doubt the intelligence of the people who respond get the most answers?

Ooooh, I like to be slapped by big fat goths! (I always thought goths were skinny folk though...)

There are loads of silly people and loads of silly questions. Both are yucky and sticky and pasted together. As a thought on the side: If you'd like to research this, I suggest you study interpunction and grammar before handing in a thesis on the subject.

None of those issues - desktops, infra-pink, cameras and such are "clever." they can not think of for themselves. they can not say, "I refuse to do what my programing tells me to" those issues haven't any unfastened will to compliment. they are purely able to movements that human's programmed. purely clever beings can freely pick action. countless regression is barely a hazard in a temporal relm. yet what if existance became something different than temporal? What if existance became purely a state of countless being that has no initiating and no end, purely modern. In a temporal relm, we've not have been given any genuine "modern"because of fact that time would nicely be infinitely divided into smaller fragments, there is not any suspension of time. we are consistently entering into the destiny. although, what if existance on the religious relm consisted no longer the rest yet of an absolute continuum - an eternal modern and state of being?

Because they take it as a personal insult and feel the need to try and prove they are not stupid.I don't have this problem I know my limitations and only tend to answer questions where I actually think I can help the questioner resolve their issues.

Because people need to fight for their reason to be on the internet; with their true and enlightened answers. It is a game that the questioner only plays a small part. It is the thinking process of answering each question that allows us (me) to feel like we (i) have acheived something and resolved something fundemental to our own identity.

Because sometimes people on here just want to answer easy questions, they cannot be bothered to think about things! I personally like to answer a bit of both, keeps the mind active!

Arrogance responds to arrogance. Certainly it's true of many of my answers that I am only displaying a finer, subtler arrogance than that I see in the question being 'asked'.
I have to admit that "How DARE you denigrate the intelligence of others? That's MY job!" speaks to my true, very shallow motivation, you benighted sap.

because everybody believes that they are smart. We were born to believe that human is the smartest species and the questions which appear to doubt that fact would appear to be a challenge. And did I meantion human is belligerent too?!? They are.

Because it's easier to answer something when you don't have to think about than a question where you actually have to comprehend something and make of what the person is asking.

That's a roundabout way of asking why we answer stupid questions and most people do it for the points though I don't always answer stupid questions.
Just the silly ones ;o)

Weird isn't it? If you ask something completely pointless, people flock to answer. Offensive questions get far too many answers too.
