I mean really, folks.  Some of these questions can be plugged right into a Yahoo or Google search, so what's the point of this?  I guess if you want to get subjective and opinionated answers, this is the place. :D

This is way more fun.  There are some things only another person can answer.  Google cant tell you if you should leave you boyfriend or what new icecream to try at coldstone creamery.  Yeahhhh this is way more fun.  Anything SERIOUS... id consult a more reliable source.

Your questions don't seem all that welcome here. You may want to ask questions that aren't intended to offend everyone and perhaps you'd get a more welcome response. As it is now, you seem to be no more than an immature person hungry for attention.

they're probably little kids who think it's funny. report them. eventually, MAYBE Yahoo! will get the point and find some way to not let those questions be asked, since they are against the guidelines anyway.

So what your saying is that questions on here don't mean anything and its all about how to get meaningless points? I looked at your Best Answers and they are all good ones. Thats what really counts.

Because this forum is anonymous and people can judge without any repercussions. I also think that some of the questions are stated in such a way as to suggest that people are making serious life decisions without correct information, without guidance, and without seeing the big picture sometimes. So people feel that they need to point these things out to questioners.\n\nYou point out one of the flaws with Yahoo! Answers, and that is that there is really very little guidance about what people should expect and how they are to act on this forum. So there is a lot of variability in how people answer questions.\n\nI for one am less concerned with people being judgemental than I am about people who are crude, who give incorrect information, or who use this forum to solicit dates, sex, or customers. These are larger problems with this site.\n\nGreat question!

Let's see, how many idiots are there on Yahoo Answers answering questions they know nothing about and asking really stupid questions (hmm?)? Do you really care? If it bothers you, you can always add a your own answer or vote or comment on the best answer when voting's over. But if it bothers you enough that you want to essentially spam everyone with it, then Yahoo Answers probably is not the place for you - we don't even get paid, who says they expect fully accurate and thoughtful information?\n\nOtherwise, you're just making a big deal out of something you don't even consider that important (in which case I'll take a couple points). If that's the case, you are lying, which is just as bad as what you're complaining about.\nOr do you just like the attention?

I agree with you. I think people do it to accumulate points rather than present a worthwhile and thought out answer. I asked some serious questions and received some smart aleck answers myself. Some of them displayed quite a sense of humor, though! It's what we make it, just like anything in life...

Agree. Strongly agree. Why? Because for one, there are things that I say on Yahoo! Answers that people I know in my daily do not need to do. There are just some things that you dont mind stranger knowing because they are less judgemental... or that they really won't say anything to you... or that they you will tell you straight up what they think and you don't have to give a crap about it.\nFor two, there are some things that people ask over here regarding to those people, so it'd just be awkward if they found out.\nAnd for three, sometimes its just better so then they wont start answering your answers and then ask you questions regarding the question that you asked that they answered.\n\nWow, that was a mouthful...

I agree. This should be like a living encyclopedia, where people contribute their knowledge, but it isn't. There are a whole load of questions that should not be allowed. Here are some types that I have been daft enought to answer within the last week:-\n1 Too lazy to do own homework e.g. "Visit a Maxican community and write your observation? why do like this community?"\n2. Jokes e.g. "Clairvoyants: I would like to send you a cheque for £1,000. Could you please mail your name and address to me?"\n3. Too lazy to do an internet search e.g. "Does anyone know anything about Christine De Pisan?"\n4. Impossible to know e.g. "How many people own alarm clocks in the U.S.?"\n5. Inadequate detail e.g. "Is there an underground tunnel at excelsior high school?"\n6. Feedback grumbles e.g. "Thanks for the answer on Irish Clubs!! I am english - my husband is irish thankyou.We socialise with ALL!!?"\n7. Useless trivia e.g. "What is the correct Ibo/Igbo translation of, 'Throw him'?"\n8. Self-publicism e.g. Does anyone know who jonathon c mclachlan is?\n\nSometimes a member of the Answers Team bothers to read some of the postings. I just hope that one of them reads this, and comes up with a suggestion for improving Yahoo! Answers.

Awww muffin... I'm sorry if some of the questions MADE YOU THINK... They are hell of a lot better than some of the crap being asked here...  Now what did you ask... Oh wait YOU DIDN'T EVEN ASK ANYTHING!!! So, you complain about people who are looking for answers on answers.yahoo.com and then you DON'T look for an answer???

I was thinking the same thing. Probably because they think it is funny, or want to see if there are people out there who take their sick stuff seriously. \nI believe most of those questions are in violition with the guidelines. A solution might be to report a question like that and if Yahoo feels the question is indeed violating their guidelines, the question will be removed. If pple do continue to ask those kind of questions, their id can be removed too by yahoo.\nTiff

I do not think that it is right either.  I mean, if no one asked questions, there would be no purpose in this site at all.  LOL  I still ask questions any way b/c you can earn your points back easily.  Also, I do not pay any attention to the point system.

It's subjective. There is no 'right' answer.\n\nI think he's trying to waste your time, or it's a trick question.\n\nDid you do a search?\n\nI know it's NOT:\n\nPoliticians.\nPriests.\nPorn stars.

I like answers that come from someone's experience or their opinions. Anyone can use a search engine.

There are places for free speech.  This site is used by a lot of kids and that has to be atken into consideration.  Questions which are racist, adult in content etc SHOULD be removed to protect them.  there are other more appropriate places to discuss those matters...:D

Some people use yahoo answers like a chat room where they are only soliciting opinions rather than hard facts.\n\nAdditionally, even though most questions can be answered by google, many people enjoy the repartee and comradery that is artificially created via the YA medium.

I am new also, and I definatly will.  I think it is good for someone who looks back on closed questions looking for the same answers.  They can see what we thought was the best answer.
