I have become convinced that there are just a lot of people in this world that are complete idiots.
Many of them appear to be Yahoo! Answers members. It is unfortunate, because I see people getting real answers to real questions on here all the time. It's a pretty cool community thing, it is a shame that morons have to clutter it up with nonsense.

For the same reason some ask the most offensive or nonsensical questions, such as the "retards". I guess some think it is funny when the rest of us really enjoy the interesting questions and thoughtful answers. A little humor or even sarcasm is OK too if it is not meant to really hurt or demean.
And while we're at it, how about some of the avatars, there was a photo of a penis, and recently, one of a woman's genitalia.
I guess the best protest would be to not give any response to these, search for the "good ones". That doesn't mean they have to be something I agree with, just something stated with a little intelligence and respect for the folks here.

Probably all of the above. Remember, plain ignorance is pure ignorance, and pure ignorance is pure bliss.
Yahoo Answers was a good idea. However, its value is lessened by the fact that anyone can join, and it is impossible to filter out ignorance, sarcasm, and social ineptitude.

For all of the reasons you said. Also, sometimes people just feel like venting their frustrations at anonymous people on the internet. Or they think they are being clever/funny.

for me it's an ego thing, and I also love to hoard, even useless Yahoo points.
that was not a serious answer, by the way.
