I keep seeing dumb questions like "Should I turn my neighbor in as an illegal just because he's Mexican?" And then there are those who misspell horribly, even WITH a spell checker. I'm confused.
Every category I choose to answer or vote in comes up with "Drat, there's nothing here right now. why don't you pick another category?" After 5 of these I almost threw my computer out the window!

OK....I admit I am too picky. Must have been the overdose of Mike Currie's bigotry. I apologise.

I usually just go to Home, and scroll down. If there's nothing interesting, I go to next page.
A lot of questions are mis-categorized, so when you view by category, not only are you seeing questions that belong elsewhere, but you miss questions you might like.
Also, the quality varies. Sometimes there seems to be a lot more trash, less substance, others lots of interesting stuff.
Do not, repeat NOT throw your computer out the window. You might hurt someone.
PS: Know what just occurred to me? I was on the forum a while ago, and last night they said that they were upgrading the system. Perhaps this is just bugginess do to their changing the system.

That must be happening a lot under categories today -- this site gets glitches sometimes. Others have mentioned it too. So don't hurt your computer - it's not your computer's fault?
Personally, I can't think of anything to ask at the moment and I don't like asking idiotic questions. I know what you mean though -- earlier there was "how many bullets do I use to kill my neighbors cat" --- first, that was stupid AND it was under the category of singles/dating. Go figure. People must be "slow" today. I know I am LOL - just one of those days.......

Just keep hitting refresh on the main questions page. Usually there's at least 1 in the 20 or so that are displayed there that is worth answering. If not, get yourself a glass of water then come back and refresh again.
I just laugh at the stupid questions. That's half the reason that I log on in the first place.

I get that 'Drat' message when I click on the general answers link. It's gotta be a Yahoo! glitch.

I guess the same place all the intelligent people went. You expect too much from people, look at this world around you. Does it look like people do much thinking nowadays. But, I do feel you on that one though. ;).

Dear Wizard,
I try to ask them, but they get lost in the shuffle all too often. Take a look - answer! I value good input :-)

Ahhh... just wait until school starts and most of the point-snatchers are gone.
They shall return.. I promise. Have I ever lied to you?
