It is sad...is it not?
Again, this is a site that anyone can have access to. So you get both kind of people in here. People who only want to give 'clever' answers and think that they are being funny, and also people who really care and want to make a difference.
There are also people that you try the best you can in order to help them and spend an hour of your precious time in order to give them a well-thought answer,-despite the fact that you do not know them- and they do not appreciate it especially if they do not like your answer. However, the point is to do your best and pass your message, especially when you see things about them that they themselves are not able to see. This is the only thing you can do, whether they want to correct themselves or not, depends merely on them.
If you want to receive serious answers only, you are in the wrong forum. If you are looking for people who really want to help out, I suggest you should visit http://www.vanpraagh.com a spiritual site with people who are spending hours and hours to think on your problem and give you a sincere answer. It has really helped me too. They also made me ponder on WHO I actually am, and now I know what my faults are and try to improve them.
There are also people who are bored to THINK...(I honestly feel sorry for them) they come in here in order to have fun only. FUN is good, but it should be used in moderation especially when other people suffer and are looking for a sincere answer to their problem.
It is a matter of Ego. They want to project themselves in the World, and feel that other people accept them. The lower their self-esteem the higher their efforts of being the centre of attention. I have seen it in some members of my family, and I keep seeing it around me every day. At the same time, they minimise somebody else's worth because they do not want to be left behind. They become defensive and try to project their own opinion, most of the times by shouting...some of them will even stand in front you and hide you from the person you were talking to, and try to take over the discussion. All of this because of the inferiority complex. And they do not realise unfortunately that they do manage to project themselves, but in the most NEGATIVE way possible. You may have realised that the people who really have an impact on others, are the ones who are being calm and quiet, they do respect another person's opinion, and have manners. The good qualities always outweigh the negative ones.
Have you seen 'The Last Samurai' with Tom Cruise? If you have, then you know what I mean if I talk about 'Taka' the Japanese girl.
Some people also, do not have any target in their lives. They think that they have come to Earth only to have fun and do not care about other people's problems, because they have always been self-centered and therefore do not know how it is like to have a problem. They are being insensitive and think that everything is a joke. Most of them are people who feel secure because they might be living on expense of others, most of the time they come from rich families, they never had to work hard and therefore do not know how it is like to worry about things. This could be one example. Generally, when you have something filled in your life, you cannot understand the lack of it that somebody else may have...
I hope I have helped somehow.
Love,

Now hold on my friend. I've seen many people who really had a go I mean nasty goes at some people who just felt like being funny and humorous that day and been in a good mood and just wanted to show you the less serious side of things but some people just get so angry like someone had poked them in the eye. Hey take it easy and chill out a bit. Life is not all about being serious and conservative and withdrawals. Ask a question and take whatever answers you like and just let other people with funny side see the other answers which you may categorise as irrelevant and/or sincere. Stop complaining for god's sake. Life is too short to be so miserable and serious. Let your hair down sometimes and just go in front of the mirror and laugh loud for no reason and see your mood afterwards. Cheer up.

Because there are a lot of people who's main reason for answering a question is to get the two points. They just answer questions with the quickest answer possible some of them not even bothering to read past the first line. Even more annoying is when people respond with "I don't know" - what is the point in that? I think its really terrible when people are asking sincere questions and some idiot responds with an answer they obviously find hilarious. Yahoo answers is a really good, useful site and its a shame some people don't use it properly. I've had to remove questions in the past because I've got nothing but stupid answers.

Lighten up, anyone asking sincere life changing questions on an internet forum packed full of Yanks deserve ridiculous answers. As do you, for not having the intelligence to realise some people have a sense of humour and take this site for what it should be, a light hearted distraction from work. Get out and meet people, make friends and then ask your 'friends' for advice..... geek.

Some people genuinely don't know, but think they are being helpful.
Some people do not wish to be helpful.
Some people want 2points.
Some people are rubbish at advice because they don't handle their own lives very well.
Some people think they're funny when they're not.
Some people are funny but their humour is misplaced, as they are answering a serious question.
Some people are irritated by the question itself as they think it's stupid or offensive.
But look on the bright side... some people are very good and giving advice. Just be glad of the few good answers you get lol, just to remind you there are some good people left out there...

Cause some of them are sarcastic assholes, i've asked questions before, such as 'where can i get a good digital camera from for under £80' And some people gave good nice answers and one person said get off your fatass and look for one.
Like i felt like replying saying eff you to her because for one i don't have a fatAss and for 2 im asking on here cause i couldn't find a good one in the shops.

Because their tiny little minds do not allow them to understand what a person is ging through. It is totally disrespectful and child like but I'm afraid that is what society has become.Have faith there are still decent people out there so for every dumba** you get 3 or 4 real replies.

Lots of them can't be bothered to phrase their question so as to make it readable let alone understandable, and then to make matters worse they can't even be bothered to spell-check it.
There ARE those of us out here who have respect for the English language and don't constantly use phrases like "know what I mean?" or "at the end of the day", so when I, for one, see an almost unintelligible question I make a dive for it, give it the sort of answer it deserves, and collect the two points thank you!

Some sad people think it is funny.
They have no friends and for them the internet is their little kingdom where they can be 'brave'.
They are the sort of people are very brave in a crowd and run away from all sorts on their own. Ignore them - everyone else in their life does - it's why they are that way.

ppl can only tell u wot they have been thru...some express it a lil more sanely than others-all in all its like a gamble-a game-the point system says 2points no matter the quality or quantity of the answer.
the counter for points within the person, cud encourage them to give better answers without getting sad that they havent won a single best answer yet!
like me i jus hope ppl get helped or can cook something new or can laugh a lil inspite of their experiences , wen i answer-man ,was this too long?
