LOL... you may as well ask why arrogant folks like you can only feel good about themselves by ripping into other people...\n\nGuess we all want to interact with others, and this is as good a way as any.

hey everyone has different reasons for visiting an posting in this site. i think its pretty cool and i am amazed at what people say. i admit its funny and sometimes very stupid questions.i only feel sorry for people who are on line 24/7. its good to be on line you also need t be around people. that's just horrible!! anyways this site is pretty interesting. sometimes there's questions you cant actually stand up and ask.  so you can feel comfortable. or whatever reason. as for my stupid questions...I'm surprised how many people are actually supportive and informing me with there intelligent information. as for sellfesteem , confidence, accepting who you are, most of all listening to your own advise. dont always rely on other people. no one knows you better than ure self. iight hun... good question. good luck

It bothers a lot of us - you just seem to be hitting all the questions that the lazy jackasses ask. \n\nThere are, indeed, a section of us who type like intelligent individuals who give a rats' ass about the English language. \n\nThe rest of them give us a bad name, really, when you continue to read the news of how "chatting online can lower your IQ" - Sure, if you're a RETARD to begin with!\n\n♥

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 agree that you picked the wrong category. Some friendly advice-remember if you post in politics, by nature almost everyone posting answers in this section is mad about something.  It's a bit of a hoot to make fun of, and be made fun of by, people I disagree with.  So you are far more likely to run into foul-mouthed a-holes occasionally.\n   Also, I would think twice about asking personal advice to complete strangers.  You don't know who is sitting behind a keyboard.  Well, sorry ya got insulted.  And whatever problem you have, that it works out for you in the end. \n  Best wishes.

LOL, you mean on yahoo? I can't believe some of the answers people give in this place! I think a lot of people are just really stupid to be honest, too much tv, not enough books, not enough interest in intellectual development. Stupid people are rampant, but apparently in higher than average numbers in parts of Yahoo.

Because there are a lot of moronic people answering questions. Sometimes I'm one of them. But just remember your not always going to agree or like what they say. That's when you ignore them. By the way congrats on the big day.

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.

I know that some people abuse this site. It is a good site for people to ask questions when they want to know something and/or to get opinions and advise from others. I have saw some pretty dumb questions on here and I have also saw some questions on here that you had no clue as to what they were even talking about.But then you get these people that come along and give smart *** answers. I could do the same thing but I don't. If I don't like what I read,being a dumb question or what ever, I go to the next question. I am not going to be rude like so many others have been. Those folks that talk bad to others needs to grow up their self!!! They are in fact worse than the ones that ask the bad questions.And they know who they are too.Just like you, you asked a good question and I have wondered that same thing many times my self, and look at some of the crazy answers YOU got!!!!I think some of them just write any thing so they can get the points, but me, I don't care about the points, all I want to do is help people if I can. When those that give the stupid answers I think they shouldn't get the points even though it is just 2 points for the answer. So yes they do need filters for this site. If they did have them, you sure wouldn't have gotten some of the answers that you got that is for sure. LOTS OF RUDE FOLKS OUT THERE!!!!!!!!

I am 40 and have a very full and happy life.  I don't spend my entire day/night on yahoo!answers, but I do visit in between projects at work.  I'm on here because I've noticed that there are a lot of people - both young and older - who have honest questions and are looking for answers from "experienced" men & women.  I guess that includes me...\n\nSometimes it's more comfortable to approach an outsider for advice than someone you know.  What better forum than the internet, where you can be as anonymous as you want?

I think for the most part, some of the idiotic answers are from those seeking to get points OR to wallow in the freedom of expression that this forum offers (to a point, that is).  Some people do not even really read the question and cannot discern whether it is hypothetical or not.  I think you will find that many are just filled with sarcasm because in this venue, there is a good chance no one will babble back.  It isn't interactive - it just lets you post - so no immediate retort directly.\n\nThe good thing is that this is a small percentage and hopefully it will not grow - after a time, even idiots get bored of themselves.

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.

Yes, there a few gems stashed in amongst the rubbish on this forum.  It takes researching the profiles of people who give intelligent answers.  People who give good answers usually ask great questions.  Sometimes we have to put up with a lot of irritating nonsense to get through to the good stuff.  I suggest keep a list of people who ask good questions/give good answers and go to their profiles to answer theirs.  Who cares about points.  Let the others wear each other out.
