actually it jus depends on one's viewpoint.. nothing else or u can say one's ideas.. n like tht.. but for some ppl, they dont realise that , in fact, they r asking a stupid Question abd some ppl do it deliberately.. so u cant avoid it except the ones who have the authority to do so- i.e. - the yahoo officers who have the comeplete authority of this feature of yahoo. \nso, it is all like this- i submit.\n:-)\nwhen u get stupid questions, n if u r smart enough , which i suppose u r, just dont waste ur precious tym on those Questions...just ignore.. this is an international thing that will go on.. until there r some specific filters sort of things.. so u can't stop it completely.. and u knw that. everyone does! so, do what uu really wnt to - in dis case- answer only those Questions that u wana answer to otherwise why mess up with them?? \nget my point? \nall da best. relax.. hav BBq and coke.. njoy!

Yahoo drops questions from time to time. Nothing you can do about it, so don't get mad.\nAnd..we're making fun of you because you're an easy target.

To the right of your question, you will see options like delete, extend, vote, ect. just remove it. As for getting it entirely out of your profile I don't think you can do that. Don't worry, I've seen more embarrassing questions than yours. :)

Stop whining.\n\n(sorry, couldn't help myself!)\n\nSome people just have nothing better to do.  I think if your question is illegible, poorly written, or designed to get a large response, then yes, you are going to get insulted and mocked.

No sincerely asked question is ever stupid. When you label your question "stupid" it automatically devalues what you're getting ready to say. Your thoughts and concerns are just as important as anyone elses. Have you ever heard the expression: "You have to love yourself before anyone else can love you"? The same principle applies. If you can't respect your own curiosity by asking a question, how can someone else?

There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers. Some questions, however are better left unasked

I understand what you mean, they can be annoying. Some of them are quite clever though and amusing. It is hard but just ignore them if you do not like it. Only answer the intelligent questions...lol...

customer care seems more reactive than proactive about removing offensive questions.  if there's a complaint or a reported abuse, it seems they shoot first and then ask questions later.  arbitrary?  yes.\n\ngranted the use of this site has exploded recently, but i'd hope that yahoo has assigned more than just one guy sitting in a cubicle ("no.  no.  no!  what's in your wallet?")  to take care of all the duties.  what a thankless job.

If that ever happens, smile, and ask: why do you want to know?\nThen watch them struggle to come up with the reason for asking such an assinine question.\nMost people ask embarrassing questions to deliberately discomfit someone, or put them down.\nToss the ball back, and watch what happens, its truly gratifying

Good questions require thought and knowledge.  Some people are looking for an easy two points and thusly will answer the "stupidest" questions.

get a life and ponder questions that matter. if you can't do that, at least go read some airhead magazine that talks all about that garbage. it would also help to select the correct category for this question to go in, then maybe you would get a better 'answer' for your inquiry of extreme urgency.
