I am from the old school, and tend to call em, like I see em. Do you? There is no correct answer, just an honest response is all that is required.

I am brutally honest and I don't believe in sugar coating something to make myself look better so I imagine I am as far from Politically correct as they come...\n\nTo correct myself according to what society wishes I were...would be to compromise my own dignity and morals.

I can't speak for anyone but myself.\n\nI find a lot of satisfaction in answering LEGITIMATE questions posed by people who are honestly looking for information.  Many times I find folks who'll post an answer with vulgarity or their version of humor when it totally uncalled for.  I will not post an answer if I'm not pretty sure I'm passing good, solid answers or common sense opinions.\n\nMost people, well...just about everyone who has picked my answer as "the best" have been quite gracious with thanks.  I get a lot of satisfaction in thinking that I've helped someone out, no matter how small the deed may have been.

=I just gave you a thumbs up on your question cause I think it is a very interesting question and have often wondered the same thing myself when I see someone who looks like me.  I will be watching to see if you get a really correct answer to your question, but it is unlikely and sure to be a guess. The person would have to look like you to respond, and then it would only be one response or her opinion.  I think both of us should do our own research and every time we see someone who looks like us, write it down and also if possible email that person and personally find out for yourself.  Hay, worst that could happen is that you make a new friend.  Good luck to both of us!

YES I do i ask a question like this asking people to use knowledge i got about 41 answers, some saying well dont you know you on a web-site all ready. Jez this is what i got to say to that since i could not reply ( duh ). If you answer my question thur Wikipedia you will not , let me repeat that again you will not get my vote as the best answer i have a computer i can look up my own stuff i expect knowledge so i can pick the correct answer. Iam not dumb this is a place to answer questions from what you know are at least try to answer correct from being honest and truthfull dont treat me like iam a retard because alot of people in Yahoo!Answers. Did go to college and high school. I'am sure i never fell off no turnip truck and bumbed my head plus i was born at night but it sure was not last night. If i ask for someone to look or find me a web-site than i agree only than and except it, The people who disagree with you on this are the one's that do it are need it. Yes it's Very UN-ORIGINAL

b- OK, now that I have read the other answers I suck. They are right. (hey, at least I'm honest!)

I'd have to say that answers are dependent on interpretation of intent.  If one perceives the question to be smart-ass, that is usually the tone of answer received.\nThen too... some just believe themselves superior and can't resist presenting a condescending attitude.

yep. some of there assumptions are right about me. which comes in handy when i need good "party and smoking" friends. but some are off the wall. i still have an appreciation for things and music that are beautiful and i have absolutely no morals. so, i don't know what they say or assume. i don't care, let them talk and get caught up. there's no way anyone could know everything about me in a five second glance, so i don't care. i value few people's opinions and even only sometimes.\n\nAND MAY I RESPOND ASSUMTIONS MAY BE OUR NATURE, BUT WE'RE NOT  CHILDREN SO WE SHOULD KNOW AND PUT INTO ACTION THAT IF IT LOOKS LIKE A DUCK IT COULD BE A DOG ON A BAD DAY.

Call them Yanks, it's more apt.\n\nOr as the British used to say about those 'blasted Americans', "Overpaid, oversexed and over here".\n\n\n.

For the most part, I don't.\nI report them and give them a thumbs down every time. (and that does include their bashing responses in others questions as well).

No, I get it. People ask a question, and then choose the people who side with their point of view. It happens alot. I tr to honestley choose the answer that actually answered my question, even if I disagree.\n\nSometimes though, ALL the answers avoid the question, (I have one up about remarriage right now, like that) and none of them address the issue, so picking one then is really difficult.

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?

Did it ever occur to you that they may not have the actual answer ......or they simply do not understand the question. \n\nI was always told at a very early age that if you need  answers to a very important question...you go to people you trust or licensed professionals that are paid to answer questions.\n\nI would not take any of these responses on 'Yahoo Answers' to heart. I mearly regard them as suggestions or helpful hints........And that is all.

yes there are several ppl who answer with their head that's on their shoulders. sorry you have to wade through all the other junk to find a decent answer, but then isn't that what makes america what it is today lol. \n\nhave a good day.
