The point of Yahoo! Answers isn't points; it is for learning. Points do nothing. Who cares? The purpose of Yahoo! Answers is to ask other people questions and to get answers about opinions, technology, the media, and other topics from a variety of sources.

Well, why did you just ask that question? You want to know an answer. As to those people who ask dumb questions (yes there is such a thing) like "do you think I should go out with this boy Sam?" they probably don't care about the points. What do points mean anyway, who cares if you have the most points. That shouldn't be your incentive for answering questions. You should answer questions to benefit those who need teaching.

I don't care about the points at all, they don't actually mean anything at all. I've asked a few questions and people have actually answered them with useful information, of course some idiot is always going to go too far, but I've been able to put up with it. However, the questions I have asked have all either been something I really need to know the answer to, or have just been a curiosity,

Because this is a good forum to receive a variety of answers from a very diverse cross section. It allows you to see how ones opinion can differ from one aprt of the world to the next. So if you are truly curious it allows you to get the feedback you desire. So build up those points and ask those questions.

because this is not a game. when i ask a question it is because i really want to know something. and if you pick a best answer for your question you really only lose 2 points, which can be made up easily!

1st of all its not a matter of points, but if it were you gain points back by choosing a best answer and so on...
i think the reason most people do it is to get real answers rather than pre-written answers you can find on the web :)

Most of the questions are so stupid taht people should have their finger chopped off for typing such crap. Losing points is letting them off easy.

Sometimes you want to know something...and you can't find it on the internet...even Ask.com or google search doesn't always bring up the answer you are looking for...and people are helpful when it comes to answering these questions.

because some people actually need a question answered. They aren't participating just to get more points.
