A question I posted about beheading got 1 reply a minute for 30 mins but a question I posted about green environmental issues got none in 20 mins.
What does this say about our society?

Well ... it says that we've not progressed very much from medieval/renaissance Europe, when beheadings / executions were for centuries the big after-church public entertainment on weekends.
"The body of Christ" ... followed by bodies and the knife. Very civilized, eh?
But, maybe most people aren't aware of such historical facts... those tending to show how brutal and barbaric our recent past.
So, can it be mainly ignorance, which leads to such pride and arrogance I see toward other cultures, here on Answers?
Pride based on ignorance. Proud of our ignorance? I can't decide whether it's more laughable, despicable or dangerous.

Maybe the average person KNOWS more about beheading than green issues. The first one is a lot simpler, sad to say.

Wow, you just can't credit it can you?
Maybe people prefer answering questions that don't relate to them.
Perhaps green issues actually make people feel uncomfortable because they just aren't that bothered about it!
Was it you that asked about the green forum?
I know of none, I communicate at the friends of the earth site but it's hardly what you class as a forum.

maybe you just posted it at the wrong time. Serious quesitns seem to get hardly any replies whereas stupid questions get millions! i asked something about disney films and got like 40 responses. I suppose, because of the points, people answer the really easy ones that require one or two word answers and that they know a lot about.

Well I've had a question open for 2 days and have only had 1 answer!(its in games and recreation if your interested btw) Perhaps its all about where you put them? Or when or perhaps it was an easier question to answer quickly? I didn't see either of them so can't offer a more definative answer.

Morbid interest has a high rating among the public. Same as purile interest shown in the tabloid media.
Personally, I have an interest in TV documentaries about serial killers and gangsters.

we live in a you tube/rotten.com society. The environment I'm sorry to say is a dead issue. Everyone talks about it but that's it just talk. Now someone getting his head chopped off is not a topic that usually pops up

It is far easier to lop off a thousand heads than to grow a single tree.
