Why do people ask such dumb questions on here???
Is there anybody that asks legitimate questions on here or is everyone just trying to boost their hub score?
The list of author scores answers that question quite definitively
The really obvious stuff is usually the same stuff that eludes people.

One big category is all the bimbos who just got pregnant, who have no job, a loser husband or boyfriend, who may or may not have any idea who the fathers are, and are looking for some magical advice. Yet they are too stupid (religious) to take the best course of action. Get an abortion.

Why do some people ask a question then delete the answers they don't like?A number of times I've gone back to look at an answer I gave and the questioner has deleted it. Do they wish to embrace censorship or silence the opposition?
