Default Laziness or Lack of Common Sense?

Maybe it is just my age showing...

Do people realize that there questions can be answered faster by taking the time of either reading the manual or by searching the Internet than posting "NEED HELP FAST !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111111111!!!!" type of questions?

Yea, but its usually noobs or somone in a panic! anyway I try to help them if I can.
Ive used the search many times with no luck so I cant fault them there,
A google search works usually works better for me.

Common sense. To be good at being lazy you have to be clever, which clearly these people are NOT.

You can take most of these questions and just paste them on google and find the answer in a second or two....Sad.

ThunderbirdJunkie can't figure out why his tires won't stay on his brushless truck. Isn't there some sort of bonding agent that can help keep the tires on the rim?

You need brushes on the truck because that is how the tires get held on.

I honestly believe that many people, especially younger people, have a mistaken belief in their own uniquiness and an overinflated sense of self importance.

If a problem happens to them and they have no experience then it MUST be something new and unique so searching won't be of any use. And it is happening to THEM so it must be fixed right NOW

Exactly right, you gotta use foil tape on duct work. You could use foil tape on tires as well if you want a chrome rim look...

If you can't fix it with a hammer or duct tape... you got an electrical problem.

I highly doubt the ability to use an Internet search engine is considered "superior knowledge".

I think that depends on the communication skill of the author and the translators ability.
I have seen manuals that are pretty incomprehensible from a poor translation

Any manual could be read properly...

The amount of time it takes to do so is subjective though [X(]
