Why is it that when someone asks a sensible question, people answer Dunno, why do they waste their time. Are they just after the points or what. If poeple insist on answering questions ib entertainment or any subject catagory with a Dunno, he/she shouldn't be awarded the points. I think that their should be a penalty for time wasters, like losing 50 pionts for a Dunno answer, would that make them think twice about answering Dunno Doh.

You have a good point. I often think the same thing. Whenever I answer a question I make sure I'm a ANSWERING the question instead of just adding to the problem. And really, it looks like you've answered your own question.
Question: "Why is it that when someone asks a sensible question, people answer Dunno, why do they waste their time."
Answer: They are just after the points. Either that or they have nothing better to do, which is quite possible as well. Take me for example. I'm answering this question that's already been answered, and for what? Just because I have nothing better to do. (Don't get me wrong, points are definately a bonus!) So in conclusion, I guess all I really needed to type was,
Yes.

I know what you mean. I think there are some people that just can't help themselves and have to answer even when they don't know that answer. They just want to be heard even though they have nothing to say, therefore, they answer "dunno" or "i have no idea" or the like. I also think they do it for the points on here, anything to get those 2 precious points as though they are going to "win" some kind of prize.
I'm trying to get my best answer percentage up, so I'm really trying harder with my answers and only answer questions when I think I can genuinly help. Good question though, it sucks you lost 5 point to ask it. It's to bad we can't give you points back.

Well, if someone just types in a response, they get the points. But, it's up to us as "good" Yahoo Answers people to earn points and give them thumbs-down, or report them, etc. I've done it several times.
But, there will always be stupid people in the world. I mean, just look at the White House! :)

How can someone be so uneducated to think that we didn't send men to the moon? Have you ever actually read a book?
You're wasting your own time.
