Late at night, it is obvious that we get typical homework questions in here. Would you do actual research for one of these people?

Here is an example. Nobody just comes up with questions like this for fun....
Could you list the things that can be defined, anayzed or understood without the following ideas?
Anything is:
1. a part and a whole,
2. an equivalence and a uniqueness,
3. a tie and a bound,
4. an influence and a sensation,
5. an origin and a derivative,
6. a choice and a determinant, and
7. an intent and a fulfillment.
------------------------------...
Nothing can be defined without these ideas.

I'm not going to do their homework for them. What next, are they going to ask us to write 20-page reports for them? "Help" is one thing, but when they just plug in the questions expecting someone to research it for them, then if I respond at all, it will be to give them the wrong answer!! (Guess I'm just jealous because this service wasn't around when I was a kid and I had to do homework the old-fashioned way!)

I teach math, and sometimes will do a similar problem that I make up to what is being asked, sometimes I will give them one step. Or if it really does seem like a valid question, and a hard one at that, I will walk them through step by step. I also put in a disclaimer that I hope I am not the reason they fail the class because they copied all of their hw and thus bombed the tests...a good teacher will not weigh hw too much, and give more credence to the tests, which show genuine knowledge. I don't even collect hw for this very reason. I give quizzes, projects, and tests. HW isn't a fair thing to grade on. To be fair though, I don't assign busy work for hw either, a few practice problems to keep their minds fresh.

It depends on the question and questioner. If the questioner has done some basic research into the homework problem, quite likely I will help with giving him hints, provided I have the expertise.
Some are just finding an easy way out by posing their homework questions on the internet. I may refer them to wikipedia.com or some other relevant websites.
Regards.

I would point them in the correct direction and maybe give them an answer that they can take further in research. I would not do a math problem.
Give the kids a break, sometimes they are stuck and just need direction.

I would not mind helping out, but I am not going to "do" the problem for them. I have my own to do.

I think we should tell them how to find the answer, resource, etc. and let them figure it out.

since there is a section called home work help.we should help them if we can.
I don't think we should just do it for them though.
