~~~ Hi alyssa c , Why are people so stupid? Good question. You are also correct about the lame questions alot of these dummies ( me included ) ask. My best guess is that they ( me included ) can't think up anything very original because all the good questions have already been posted on here. There are many repeat questions too. I've answered the one about the meaning of life about 27 times myself! Sometimes I gave different answers too. The one about the stupid chicken and the egg; I've answered until I was blue in the fingers. And that falling tree question is so old and tired that the forest is finally barren of trees. What can I say? People ARE stupid! But we are smart too, because we keep asking questions and pretty soon we'll know all we need to know and then shut up. Or...maybe people are freaking out and asking stupid stuff because their Avtars are insane like mine. Mine keeps pissing me off by changing into this hideous male creature with a bug face. I'm supposed to be a cute little ballerina dancing in Hell! So if Bugface shows up....just know that's not really me okay. That is important to me. I know that freak in the mask has to be scaring people, cause I keep getting tons of thumbs down on my answers and it's not like I'm retarded (most of the time). When that freaky bugface shows up I have to keep clicking and clicking and clicking until the ballerina comes back. That's a drag! So. maybe if other people have that same horrible problem with their Avtars it's making them stupid too. So try to lighten up okay. No, alyssa c....your question was not another stupid one. Have a nice night.~~~

Human intelligence is a polygenic trait. This means it is normally distributed. From the left tail of the distribution, to the right, things vary. The good news is, that any normal distribution has a mean, Almost 70% of the data is within one standard deviation of this mean. Of course, it has been noticed, there are different distributions and means for different populations.
PS Perhaps, the left tail people are asking too many questions.

Being knowledgeable is a skill, just like playing a sport or an instrument. If you do not practice at it you will suck at it. Most people do not "practice" by trying to up their knowledge. They are too busy working, playing video games, watching television, etc. as opposed to reading books, wikipedia, attending school (and taking it seriously).

Man I am dumb as fu(k, I know why too, in school if I didn't learn it I forgot all about it and never asked for help with it. I never study, don't really think it will help to much my memory is shi+ty as hell. I cant even remember what day it is or what I ate yesterday at this point in my life.

Take it eaasssyy. Some people are just looking for attention... don't let it affect you... you can be grateful that you can glance right over their questions... on a lighter note, yes, some questions really are obnoxious they remind me of obvious questions news reporters ask people sometimes..ugh!

please try to understand that people are very different from each other in every little way.. you might know the answer to their question and that's why you find it stupid... but what if you are asked something about the chemical composition of a metal.. of course you wouldn't know that, but if you would ask a chemist.. he might also think that it is a stupid question because he knows how easy it is.. i hope everybody understands.. peace!

They must not have anything better to do, or they really don't know and in either case that is just sad.

We ask them because we know that they make you feel superior and since you have a little vanity this makes you feel happy. We are building up your self-esteem. Sure. You`re welcome, Tain`t nuthin`!
