Do you think Yahoo ! Answers should be limited to "just the facts" or do you think there should be opinions?

With this question, you have to use your opinion!!!

I would say, just to have the interaction that yahoo answers allows us.  If we looked else where for our answers there would be no need to be involved in this site a all.  Every answer asked her could be found else where.

certain questions work well with wikipedia. especially science and factual questions. but questions revolving around politics, emotions, life, etc. should be answered by ourselves.

i do think yahoo is being fair,to operate and run this programme,the have to have rules in place,only problem i have with Q&A is what foolishness some people are allow to get away with,i thought this was about helping each other.but with everything,people are going to be what they are....some of us can't help ourselves.

I like questions that require my opinion.  I love to give my 2 cents.  Plus, that's a lot more fun because there's no right or wrong answer!

If you want the points rather than giving it your honest thoughts, just pick an opinion-based question and agree with whatever nonsense the questioner has put up.  For example, somebody may ask "I think we don't see enough pink sparrows, don't you agree?"  Answer, "Sure, I would love to see more! Great idea!"

No, definately not.  But everyone has a different point of view.  I would not want to ask a question that dealt with major issues (ie. medical, etc.) but having different opinions and finding out some new things about non serious topics is ok.

sometimes i wish that we could fix it, but then i read a really funny BS question or answer and i change my mind.  i suppose that the nature of this site is to be able to ask (almost) anything, regardless of how stupid.  on the other hand, when someone asks a really stupid question, isn't it fun to give a really BS answer back?  tis the nature of the beast, i suppose.

I am one of the minority of women on here who thinks that Y! Answers should allow sexual questions. (I posted a question about whether any people frequent adult-themed chatrooms. It was promptly removed by the Y!Staff). I think that people should be allowed to know what others think of various issues regarding sex, and their habits, etc.\n\nDr. Kinsey released his findings on sexual issues, shocking a lot of people into realising that most people are a lot more sexual than they pretend... However, that was a long time ago. Now to know what people truly think about sex, we have to just rely on friends who are willing to talk about it. I don't know about you, but my girlfriend is the only friend I am willing to talk to about sex.\n\nIn chatrooms and on sites like Yahoo however, I feel free to open up more and share my likes, dislikes, etc.

Nice generalisation. The sharing of true facts can never harm people, But i do have to kind of agree with you on the reason some of the questions are asked. I would hope that people use common sense and answer the more risky questions with tact and diplomacy, With knowledge comes responsibility

If it's a fact, we want facts, if it's a personal question it's hard to win, b/c that person wants to hear other people tell them they're right, not get brow beaten to the other side of their argument.\n\nFrom the categories, I go to, Travel wants a mixture of truth & opinion ie (should I go to Moldova, honestly heck no, but if you're from there, sure why not?)\n\nSociety & Culture is funny b/c even if it's the best written answer if you're fighting a fanatic (Racist, Ethnocentric, Kook etc) you'll still lose.\n\nPolitics at time is looking for good rationale to win.\n\nNews & events just wants a strong opinion with a good sense of humor.\n\nAND MY FAVORITES!!!\nLove & Romance/ Parenting is the WORSE!!! Nobody honestly wants the truth, I have seen questions where women/men have asked, 'MY Man slept with 10 women, 1 man & a goat, should I stay?"  HEEEELLL NO!!  But then the best answer is the one that makes them feel good & stay.  \nOr from parenting, "My child beats up a bunch of kids, should I stop him from doing it?"  Uh... yes. \n\nAll said & done, each question has a reason/rational that when you see it, your response seems so simple, but if you asked, you wouldn't follow a bunch of ideas from people you don't know?  I know I wouldn't... to a point.

My rule tends to be that if I don't have something worthwhile to contribute to the answers already posted, I do not answer.  That's the only way for the "noise" factor to be defeated on a site like this one.  Answer what you know, learn what you do not, and ask intelligent questions.  That's the formula for a great community at Yahoo! Answers.

I guess if the person who answers the questions has a reliable source...otherwise Yahoo! Answers is just for fun.

One thing I've learned on yahoo answers is the person who posts the question really only wants opinions that support their own. They aren't interested in intelligent debate.

Absolutely.  It ticks me off that we can't vote for our own answer as the best.  This will definitely lower my Best Answer percentage.  I have a tendency to give my 2 cents regardless of what the consequences might be.  I don't know these people, and I consider myself to be a grounded intelligent gal- why not give the cold hard truth?  Now though, I'll try to give people what they want.  By the way, your question is the sexiest question I've ever read.  :P
