I'm not criticising joke answers - sometimes funny answers are better than real ones. What I mean is: when you ask a serious question and some people (~they~ know who they are) jump in with lies to suit their own agenda.
What can a person do to understand when an answerer is being deliberately misleading or hateful? Personally, I try to always include a link to facts that people can check. Is that enough?

So many good answers, it's hard to choose! Thank you, everyone.

Most answers should make sense to you and not include rude racist, sexist, ignorant remarks. Any that do probably have no serious content. Even those answers which disagree with your point of view should still be well balanced and argued in a logical manner.

It's a good idea, but no. it's not enough. The world is full of nut-cases and Yahoo!Answers has its share of them. The few Q's I have asked have all been honestly & helpfully answered, but if you stray beyond the factual you simply have to use your judgment as to whether an answer is non-malicious. Sometimes other answers will give the malicious poster a good verbal kicking and this is certainly the best way to deal with them.

I'm afraid you can't. That's the web. It attracts all sorts. In the main, I'll always try to give a good answer, but just occasionally even I'm tempted to throw the odd gag in! You'll just learn to spot the real from the fake answers - as such, this is a very good skill to apply in all areas of your life!

Just double check the fact on the internet. Use the yahoo search or google. Perty simple. Plus, it is pretty easy to spot the liars with an agenda... they tend to tell fantastic tales and live in fantasy worlds.

If a lot of people give you a similar answer, it's more believable, but you still need to back check it. Sometimes the most common answer can be wrong too- the truth isn't a democracy, you can't vote on reality.

You can never be sure, though adding a fact link is good, if it's that type of question. People can say whatever they want online, and half the time, you can't tell if it's fact or tale.

He replaced into no longer a bad individual in any respect, yet he had intense problems and mandatory help. The jury in Michael Jackson's new child abuse trial mentioned there replaced into basically "no longer sufficient" information for a in charge verdict. regulation consistently use very ideal words and “no longer in charge” doesn’t unavoidably advise “harmless” as this final notice has not at all been mentioned by utilising the jury. people who say Michael Jackson replaced into harmless are subsequently “ignorant” of the regulation means. Please basically study the valid police comments used contained in the trial earlier thinking if somebody is harmless or no longer on very own foundation or after reading a e book. The police modern in his inner maximum mattress room many hidden gay porn magazines with youthful boys (criminal age) on them. Please study the valid thousand pages of the technique to be conscious of what befell to little young babies in his properties. The Jury mentioned there replaced into no longer sufficient information for a in charge verdict, the Jury didn’t say there replaced into NO information. He somewhat replaced right into a super artist, no one can deny that, yet his inner maximum life replaced into very diverse from what you spot on television or study in books.

Honestly, you get a little of everything, you just sort out the stupid ones from the serious ones, then research your heart out. All the answeres you get are typically opinion anyway. Listen, learn, research and form your own.

On here you can bet it will be 100% wrong, because of the multiple profiles trying to rule these pages by the Conservatives for their own agenda.

That's helpful, but most funny answers you can tell aren't serious. If you don't believe stuff on here, ask a professional.
