What happened to the real questions?

Question

Why is no one asking real questions anymore? It's all insults now. Where have all of the intelligent people gone?

Answer 1

Good question.

Answer 2

There are still some real questions out there! I have however noticed there are a lot more insults and harassment going on though which is really to bad :(

Answer 3

I am right here and you are right there. I don't know about anyone else. I have seen a few intelligent people on here this evening. They are doing more answering than asking I'm afraid. Fathead for example who I find intelligent and amusing has never asked a question........but he contributes with his witty answers. Smile.

Answer 4

I think John Skerry scared them all off. And we've all become so obsessed with insulting him no one cares about anything else anymore. I agree with you even though I've spent more than my share of time insulting Skerry (something to do to kill time!).

Answer 5

That George Bush had plans to invade Afghanistan on his desk before 9/11 demonstrates only the value of being prepared.

The suggestion that securing a pipeline across Afghanistan figured into the White House’s calculations is as ludicrous as the assertion that oil played a part in determining war in Iraq.

That Afghanistan is once again the world’s principal heroin producer is an unfortunate reality, but to claim the CIA is still actively involved in the narcotics trade is to presume bad faith on the part of the agency.

Mahmood Ahmed, chief of Pakistan’s ISI, must not have authorized an al Qaeda payment of $100,000 to Mohammed Atta days before the attacks, and was not meeting with senior Washington officials over the week of 9/11, because I didn’t read anything about him in the official report.

That Porter Goss met with Ahmed the morning of September 11 in his capacity as Chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence has no bearing whatsoever upon his recent selection by the White House to head the Central Intelligence Agency.

That Goss's congressional seat encompasses the 9/11 hijackers' Florida base of operation, including their flight schools, is precisely the kind of meaningless factoid a conspiracy theorist would bring up.

It's true that George HW Bush and Dick Cheney spent the evening of September 10 alone in the Oval Office, but what's wrong with old colleagues catching up? And it's true that George HW Bush and Shafig bin Laden, Osama's brother, spent the morning of September 11 together at a board meeting of the Carlyle Group, but the bin Ladens are a big family.

That FEMA arrived in New York on Sept 10 to prepare for a scheduled biowarfare drill, and had a triage centre ready to go that was larger and better equipped than the one that was lost in the collapse of WTC 7, was a lucky twist of fate.

Newsweek’s report that senior Pentagon officials cancelled flights on Sept 10 for the following day on account of security concerns is only newsworthy because of what happened the following morning.

That George Bush's telephone logs for September 11 do not exist should surprise no one, given the confusion of the day.

Answer 6

Hiding. Waiting for real questions.

Answer 7

They would rather answer than ask because like you said, they are intelligent and do not need to ask questions, sorry.

Answer 8

You can thank John Skerry for making insults popular.
And that's why there's so much bashing, instead of
intelligent questions.

Answer 9

Good Question !!!

Answer 10

I'm not sure but I have noticed it too.

Maybe it is frustration from the election getting closer.
