Why is that people think like this????

Question

So many people post "What a dumb question. You just wasted 5 points" Now, correct me if I'm wrong ( I am not) but asking costs 5 points, But answering gets you two points an answer. So if you answer three questions, you are ahead by 1. What is wasted? Any comments?

Answer 1

I don't have this problem

Answer 2

That really doesn't bother me...

Answer 3

I have no idea, I guess they can't add .

Answer 4

If you think about it, you only lose 2 points for asking a question, once you choose a best answer you get three of those five points back.  

Answer 5

I personally like when people ask stupid question.It gives me a laugh and easy 2 points.People shouldn't be getting all mad because they are the ones taking away their points.So just be happy they are giving you an easy 2 points

Answer 6

Because they're uptight.

Answer 7

I only  say "You wasted five points" when they seriously are getting on my nerves with such stupid questions.

Answer 8

I hate it when people point it out. I mean, it's the questioners five points, why do they care?

Answer 9

Personally, I think that there are far too many dumb questions on Yahoo Answers, and it would take an eternity to point all of them out.  But, I think that folks just answer "What a dumb question" in order to get 2 easy points.

Love your user name, by the way.
