I think people are just using yahoo! answers for what its for, and its also a lazy way of getting your questions answered without having to do the research yourselves

Answer 4

How do you know if someone you met online is intelligent or not?

What do you define intelligence as?

Intelligence doesn't just mean being very knowledgeable.

I haven't yet had time to pass on my genes, so till then the earth is gonna be pretty dumb.

Answer 5
