Most of the answers are so TYPICAL!  I read a question and I already know what 90% of the answers will be.  I don't find it usefull.  Just entertaining.  I try to make it funny sometimes.

Dear Colin,\nYour pertinent question and urgent curiosity has unfortunately, been buried under more legitimate concerns. If you don't get an answer within 24 hours, it is best to delete your query and ask again.\nColin, I would like to take this opportunity to express my personal opinion. You have been foolish, Colin. Very, very foolish. Anyone can see that the purpose of Yahoo! Answers is to serve as a modern chatroom. More and more, Java programming is becoming less and less supported, there is no other method of bringing people together in a social environment than to create PHP scripts where the "thinking" can be done on the server rather than on your machine. With that in mind, Colin, you should interrogate the shallow-minded participants of Yahoo! Answers with matters that appeal to their common denominator. Questions such as, "How long is the normal tally whacker?" or, "My boyfriend says I should dump my hubby, what you think?"..., would get you a substantial number of replies.\nGive up your pursuit of truth and petty wonders, Colin. Quit asking bland, colorless questions. Are you naive? No person who is capable of giving you the answer you hoped for can last while reading though a heap of puddings, pies and pastry. I'm only doing you a favor, Colin, by giving you a proper admonishment you can now begin to formulate an apology. When you are ready, send your atonement to http://surveys.yahoo.com/user_ad_feedback \nAnd Colin, if you insist upon asking serious questions, remember that a few good jolts from a peace officer's tazor should bring you around to your senses. Please, check your spelling and throw some slang into the mix so you don't offend any of the egos lurking, waiting to pounce on you with crass, thoughtless one-liners.\n\nThank you Colin, and have a great day!\n-Kenny

I'm having the same issue with my sets of questions (you can click on my avatar to see them).  Almost everyone who replied (one real exception) hasn't even bothered to try to answer the questions.  Yet these same people want creationisim taught in our science classes?\n\nI looked at both of your questions and they were good questions.  You were not doing anything wrong, just asking people to answer them.  I think you really do want to here what their answers are.  If you find any that actually do answer, send them to my questions as well please.

hahah i know what you mean.. im pretty sure anyone could go there if they were looking for a solid answer with crazy references... however, i think the point of this site is to share insight and HUMAN knowledge.. knowledge and wisdom that comes from time and age.. by simply living life!!  :)

Well, most of the answers are sort of discussion, personal opinion and more of an advice. But but but, if you see the Serious sections on Computer Science, Physics, chemistry, you would find really good and to the point answers. This is a forum for seeking opinions  and help. Unfortunately, since its craze has just started, most of the people are just putting stupid/ irrelevent questions and the same for answers just to get some points. People do grow up after a week on this network, asking more mature questions and replying better quality answers. The recent change in scoring pattern by Yahoo has definitely discouraged this 'irrelevent' scam questions and answers. Take my word, wait for a month, by the time it would become a big knowledge bank. However, if you have some serious questions, post on Google groups and you would find really good and precise answers.

Me and my 9 year old do this yahoo together. It isn't always appropriate but I have learned that my son already KNOWS some of this stuff!!! \n I skip over the dumb questions that he shouldn't view. He is also learning things. For example: He wanted to know why people call abortions murder, what is a atheist, why would this lady stay with a man that hits her. etc.\n So my Lil man is learning a few things they don't teach in school and things I never thought to teach him.\n I just filter the questions like I do his t.v viewing time!!\n Have fun!

I'm taking this personally. So here is my answer.\nWhen it comes to factual things, I look up the answer rather than ask on this medium. Unless I desperately need something I can't find, and then I have discovered that this isn't such a great place to get that kind of information.  (I've also noticed how when I provide the only factual objective correct answer, it isn't always what the asker wanted to hear.)\n\nAlthough the YA people wanted this to be a fact and opinion exchange, it is most fun where it is a community of people who make witty comments in response to witty questions of their friends and others.  And indeed this is what makes this forum tick.  You and Sanitizer and a few others are masterful at this, extremely funny and entertaining.\n\nBack to me.  It could also be an issue involving a lack of self-confidence.  I simply don't think I am as interesting as you guys.  I have a decent sense of humour. (I hope you would agree, although it is not being displayed in this particular answer.)  But, my few stabs at asking silly or amusing questions have actually fallen quite flat which is also what others experience. The difference is that you have created a "fan club" of dozens of people who will answer whatever you ask, even when a question is silly, which encourages you to keep asking questions, most of which are genuinely very good. And you will always get good answers just by the sheer numbers of responses.\n\nTo sum up, very few answer my questions. (Although you usually step in to save them. Thank you, sincerely.) I'm not confident that I can entertain the readers in the way you can and do.  And I haven't the time or the inclination to invest in making myself a popular asker as you guys have become (and I couldn't be sure if it would work anyway).\n\nAnd I am sorry that this frustrates you. Because you want to interact with certain people you discover here and yet you can't because they don't ask any questions. For instance, there is a person on the front page of the leaderboard who wanted to interact with me in this way.  But I hardly ask questions (and she never notices mine and I am now forgotten) And she hasn't asked anything at all in a couple of months.\n\nAm I boring you, or did I touch some of the issues you are thinking about?

I know what you mean, I answered one: "Is it OK if I circumcise myself?" I think it's a morbid curiosity we all have to read those kind of questions but yet we still find ourselves answering them. It's a guilty pleasure we all seem to indulge in. I do agree it would be nice if Yahoo! could screen some of them better but I don't know how it would work. It's a fun way to pass the time and it is an open forum. Besides, if you look hard enough there are some good questions and answers out here, I found yours.

Hi there,\n\nYes, I do agree with you that I am addicted with this stuff. I got in just 4 or 5 days before, and now, it's like I spend 10-11 hours on this site eventhough I have my exams going on. I just don't understand what spell was cast on me, but yeah, I seem addicted to it. And not only me, I have seen many people say that they are addicted to this site. What about you?\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny\n\nPS: You ask a lot of interesting questions. I don't mean to flatter you, but it's because of people like you the game gets interesting. I mean you don't ask the original yada-yada type questions. I have answered a couple of your other questions, and I do think you are an interesting guy ;)

I thought the site was extremely interresting and even book marked it for later reading.  When I am home alone i may even listen to some of the audio.  Of course, some of it i found far fetched and hard to comprehend; however, some of it made since and requires further research.  Thank you very much for posting it.  I appreciate any chance at learning about other peoples beliefs and religions.  I think part of the problems btw modern Christians and other religions is that most Christians will not take the time to listen and study other belief systems.

Great question! It can be very frustrating to ask a question and have to weed through 20 stupid answers to get to a real one, or to see a question you are also interested in and see that almost every answer is a waste of time. \n\nI loved the link. That was great information.

Thanks for the 2 points freak.  Quit wasting my time.  This is not what this website is all about.  It's actually used for eduaction - maybe some of it is useless facts, but it's not to meet friends and piss people off.  Grow up.
