Short answer - Because people are dumb.
Of course, this doesn't necessarily apply to THIS forum, since so many of us are friends in the non-internet world as well.....
... but it baffles me when people go to a forum, post something off topic they want advice on, and are actually SURPRISED when they get smart ass answers. [img]eek.gif[/img]
On one of my guitar boards, a guy is asking advice on if he should break a date with a girl because she's a Mormon.
Samples of the responses -
"Man, you get those religous types behind closed doors, and they're dirtier than you imagine! Shit, after date 2 she'll let you take a dump on her chest."
"A better story to tell your grandkids would be the one about how you nailed a very religious mormon chick on the first date."
"In my experience, mormon ladies are so full of pent up sexual aggression, that almost anything will send them over the edge. Either way though, do what you must......just give us details once it's done"
"Seriously, though. Just smoke a doob with her, and she how that works out. If she seems cool, plug her in the butt."

Guess some people
A) Don't have a life and want to express his emotions to unknown people.
B) Don't have anything to post and creates a topic just to attract attention.
This sort of thing never ceases to amaze me either.
But I'll tell you what drives me absolutely BATSHIT: when someone (a kid usually) comes onto a message board and asks for information about a famous person, a historical event, who wrote a particular song, etc.
YOU'RE ON THE MOTHERFUCKING INTERNET!!!!!!!!! How the fuck can someone actually take the time to write up and post a thread like that INSTEAD of just taking their lazy ass to Google and doing some research???? I swear, it makes me feel like an old man and the irony just KILLS me...Again, you're on the internet!!!! The information is 2 seconds away from a click on your mouse!!!! [img]mad.gif[/img]
I would like to believe that most of the answers are sarcastic and just for fun....
... but unfortunately, most of them are probably honest responses.
Is this a "serious" matter? Do you want my "advice"?
I didn't think so. [img]wink.gif[/img]
Rowlf.... I've had my kids ask me homework questions and I've handed them a dictionary or encyclopedia....
... and they've looked back at me like I handed them a pair of broken salad tongs.
Almost like... "Oookay... what does this have to do with the capital of Korea?" [img]confused.gif[/img]
Then they're even more confused when I beat my head against the wall.

So, people... creationism or evolution?
It's in a persons nature now adays to be lazy.. If they can go to one place they always go to, and then get an answer.. why look through the hundred or so comebacks from a search engine? Lazy bastards..
