Are points the only issue that matters here?

You're not alone. I think we've all answered the life altering question "Is my Avatar HOT" out of boredom a time or two. I do think that the all out blitz to pile up points has gotten way out of hand. What purpose can be served with being able to say you have 10, 15, 30 & 50,000+ points other than to boost a fragile ego? Granted, some of the Q&As these people have are quite good, but they seem to have built a leagion of followers who hail them as a prophet based on their points total when in fact they pad that total with unlimited rates and votes points. The whole idea was to help, inform and have a little fun, not build an empire based on points for self-gratification, but I suppose that is the competitive nature of the beast. Getting voted as Best Answer and a few Thumbs Up, I will admitt, dose make me feel good knowing that someone appreciated what I had to say but it's not an all consuming mission. It has almost gotten to the point where Yahoo! has lost control of what started out as a good idea and I'm not sure how they can get it back.

Want to ask so many more, but the points system is set against that.\n\nWhole thing needs a re-think if you ask me.\n\nAnd that will cost you 5 points.

It does not matter. Imagine giving 10 points to people who just respond with "yes", "no", "dunno"..or just dumb answers ?\nYahoo would have to create a level 10 and everybody would be in it.\nOr maybe there should actually be minus answers to just "yes". "no" and "I don't know" type of answers. What is the point ? (no pun intended). You get 2 points for nothing.\nWhat is it with points anyway.....it is not as though somebody is going to win the lottery at the end.

How about the Immigration issue or global warming?\nBoth are highly controversial issues.

Real issues. Party matters not at all. As for morals/values. I wouldn't trust any politician to try to tell me about morals. If I'm voting on the morals they stand for, I want nothing to do with it.

does it really matter? \n\ni think the importance should be placed rather on how you feel about either: "faith" or "auto-suggestion"... and if either helps you in any way.

...."of colour"??\nwhy in the world would this matter in any way?

Well, the points are really meaningless.  They're meant for fun.  Does it really matter if you have points deducted?

I believe what you call hot topics are real issues.  If I'm not able to agree with a politician on moral issues...then there is no way I am voting for him/her.  War and money are important issues, but I believe ending the murder of innocent humans, and preserving the family are extremely important issues as well.
