Why do the people who ask questions on this site have such sparkly screen names?

Because we all want to grow up to be Miss Manners

I detect bs here.  This question is thoughtful, correctly written, spelled and sounds innocent.  I'm guessing if you use lots of user names to ask questions you are trying to manipulate the system somehow.  I consider a sensible, worth-while question something the asker really wants to know.

I agree. It could be that the opportunity to ask an otherwise embarrassing question within the private sanctum of the Internet, fields their curiosity. Perhaps when we get older we stop asking questions because we don't like the answers. I like to answer questions, that's why I sign in. I like to spell correctly, that's why I use the spell check.

its the same reason why people go online and ask random questions, they're bored

I think there are many reasons that people use those silly sites like that. \n\n1) Pure Boredom: They are bored one day and decide to upload a photo just to see what kind of reaction they will get. \n\n2) They KNOW they are good looking (or at least think they know) and they want the show the whole world.\n\n3) They are not sure if they are that hot or not, so they want some ego boosts. \n\n4) They feel like they are very unattractive, so they just want to confirm then go wallow in self pity when they get low scores.\n\n5) People can actually get in contact with other members so maybe they use it as a dating service. \n\n6)Their friends do it so they do too!! \n\n No, I don't think that it means the psychological problems. Although, I am sure there ARE people on that site that do...just like any other site for that matter.

It's a part of protecting your privacy. The answers we provide might stir the beehive, so we might not want to reveal our identity to just everybody. That's why we are given the benefit of the a nickname (and anonimity). Of course, downright offensive answers are cowardly.\n\nIf this were a dating service, however, it might be different...

what is it with these perverted questions

I agree with you. I think people do it to accumulate points rather than present a worthwhile and thought out answer. I asked some serious questions and received some smart aleck answers myself. Some of them displayed quite a sense of humor, though! It's what we make it, just like anything in life...

I was just about to post a question saying that same thing!  The whole reason I got on Yahoo! Answers this morning was because I knew there would be several questions on here and someone would answer telling why we couldn't log in this morning.  But I didn't realize that almost every user on here was going to ask the same question over and over and over and over again!  Can't these people look at the recently asked questions?  Isn't it common sense to think that the question has already been asked?  It's just like those girls who keep asking "Could I be pregnant?"

Wow, you live up to your screen name.

They're very immature, and/or so insecure that they have to put someone else down to feel better about themselves.  \n\nI personally love this site, because I like to get others' opinions on issues as well as give advice, if it's asked for.  I take it reasonably seriously.  Even if someone's asking a silly question on purpose, I'll probably answer whimsically, but never in a derogatory fashion.\n\nDon't worry, they're not the majority on here!  :)

Because their avatar isn't really making a question or answering anything. They can be known by what they want; I think...as long as it's not vulgar.

It's annoying cause you'd think they'd just read other questions like it. I mean when you ask a question, it lists other questions like yours right under the box you're typing in. You'd think they have enough sense in their heads (even if they are teenagers) to just click on the other questions and read what advice they're giving there. No, they have to make users retype the advice. I've just learned that there's nothing you can do to stop the 200 questions that are asked like this a day. So I just put the link to another question like it in my answer...and still get my two points :D. If they want to be stupid enough and not look at similar questions, I'll keep sending them to where they can look for themselves, while trying to be nice about it. When all I want to say is "Look at all these other questions and answers you f*cking stupid pinhead!!" :D

They think it's funny.  But there are alot more appropriate sites to ask nasty questions.. there are alot of kids on this site and I don't think alot of the question's are good for kids to read.  I also think some people are on here just to get reaction's from people.  They think it's fun to get people all worked up.

It basically showcases the attitude of the people who are employed by Yahoo. They are far to lazy to actually read something for themselves to see if it is, in fact, a violation. Many of these outrageous, bigoted, slanderous questions or quasi-questions that are posted come from avitars that are still on level 1. They don't care if they are suspended because they'll just create another and go back to spewing more of their filth.\n\nMeanwhile, the empty suits at Yahoo allow them to get away with their abuse of the rest of us. I have always had a wry sense of humor but I have to watch every single thing I present or get slammed by these phony abuse reports. I really wish that another web server would come up with a similar forum because I'd move in a heartbeat.

Maybe its political correctness.  They dont want to post a controversial question that will make some some people angry on the home page of what they want to be a reputable website.
