Wow. That was a reasonably intelligent question.You still threw in a zinger, but well placed.I didn't know you had it in you.
Therein lies the problem. You throw out so many BS Qs, baiting people, we just find it inconceivable that you would ask a thoughtful one. When I opened up the Q, I kept looking for the "catch", which I found, by the way.
I take this as an honest Q for a change. So...
Your intended audience seems to be the kooks who say, "Yeah! Go gettem!". The unthinking mob. If you want to be taken seriously, then ask the intelligent Qs. We may not get front page responses (I see the same thing w/my Qs) but usually end up with some intelligent responses.
The kook avatar doesn't help the image either, but you made the choices. So what's it gonna be?

Could be your definition of good, or it could be that when somebody gives a good answer they don't think any more needs to be said and leave it without even more clutter.
the Question you provide as a 'Good question' isn't so much a question as it is a statement. Your bad questions are the same way, but are more inflamatory, and people feel much more obliged to respond.
This is not a free speech soapbox, it is a forum to get good answers to good and honest questions. Y! A is not made for debate.
this was actually a good question, in my book.

It's hard to find good questions and sometimes all the "dumb" or "funny" ones can change my mood into one of wanting to share knowledge,maybe learn something into let's party.
Maybe not the right attitude but if the choice is between hateful Q's and the funny ones I choose my mood to be determined by the funny

Um because in order to answer a good question, the beer has to be out of hand for longer than 30 seconds and thats not cool man.

Because when you repeatedly ask ... looking for a nice word here... questions that are.... ignorant, attacking and full of rhetoric, many of us that answer questions with seriousness, will avoid questions that have your name on them.
There are certain ppl that ask questions that I never click on no matter how 'good' the question looks.

probably the same reason everyone tends to ignore people who have a tendency for yapping without knowing any of the facts, or making statments that are implied statments rather than questions:
they get sick of wasting their time reading them!

So mocking mental disorders is a good question to ask? And you thought my psychosis was funny...

Because most people don't want to use more than 70 IQ points to answer a question.
