...of the "socially challenged"? In other words, what purpose does it really serve to acknowledge those individuals (we all know who they are) whose only excitement in life seems to come from thrusting their racist and socially unacceptable beliefs and opinions into this forum. If it is literally an effort in futility to try to reason with the unreasonable or make sense of the unsensible, why do so many of "us" continue to try? How will this question be interpreted and by whom will it be answered... The rational and intelligent, or the "socially challenged"? Who will place themselves in the wrong category? Let's have some fun. Thanks...

Everyone will answer it. The rational and intelligent answer out of boredom and the chance to be sarcastic to the less fortunate. Perhaps it's the "I'm better than you mentality" that takes over and let's everyone respond as either a "socially unacceptable" or a "rational and intelligent" person. There really are some true idiots out there as many of us experience first hand. The question is, are there really as many as there appear to be on Yahoo Answers or are the intelligent just playing the fool as a source of relief? Sadly, I think there really are that many idiots. At least it add variety. Ironically, we all believe ourselves to be the "rational and intelligent." Go figure.

You get 2 points for answering a question, even if it is a no brainer. So why not answer a few no-brainers to get easy points.
Another reason is that some people can change with time
I used to be a rotten person, but now I am proud of who I have become. If I can change anyone can.
Another reason this is the Internet even if the person you are talking to doesn't really "hear" what you are saying, a thousand other people might.

Its simple reactions. Technology makes it simple to broadcast and some answers come from reaction craving youth. Learning(i.e.living(read:not giving a damn)) is more important than reckless abandonment of morals but nearing the later does teach you a whole lot about others and oneself.

I don't believe my answers will change the askers attitude, but there a lot lot of children who haven't had their perceptions of others polarized in a negative yet, so I hope to counteract those rude a prejudiced 'questions' a bit for the readers.

It's a different form of entertainment...I especially like to laugh and there's a lot to laugh at.

Anger I suppose. Either that or one too many shots of Jack?
