There is no such thing as an unbiased answer...it's practically an oxymoron. How can you not be influenced by what you feel to be true? I have witnessed grossly distorted factual data right here on Answers. Who could have known? I didn't think this was possible. I stand corrected. I like to think I am very objective. I try to look at all sides to an issue...but in the end, I will always approach it from my own perspective or formulated conclusions.

an answer will always be biased because education is also biased, therefore all media, that extends very strongly into every aspect of our personal and professional lives makes it so, unfortunately. For children, who are not yet influenced, probably at 2 years old, there is still influence from family, which has been influenced culturally, traditionally, from beliefs, and backgrounds of the family as well, will have its own influence. Either way, there is influence unless you are an island, and no man is an island, as they say...

The answer will be influenced by a persons honesty and integrity.
Background could play a part.
If you yourself are truly intuitive you will be able to know where anyone is coming from. I believe depending on background, and intelligence an answer can be 100% unbiased.

In my opinion, no. Everyone answering a question here,may have unusual or 'blow-off-the-top-of-your-head' great answers per your question. Everything we do is influenced by our experiences, culture, traditions and beliefs. It's called Life Experiences. As you live, you learn, there's more to it, voice your opinions and feel good about it. Pappy Neil said that.

It really depends on the specific question. For example, some just have simple yes or no answers. others are more complex, and then you have those that seem to strike the nerves of certain people. Depends solely on the question itself.

I surely think that ones background and culture influences any thing done.

No. What is 100% in this world?

Unless the question is very very specific and related to something that is very very factual (e.g., mathematics), then no. Our answers will always depend on our worldview, because our worldview shapes the questions we hear.

Yes, it is possible and probably, but there is always factors (ex. the ones you mentioned) that influence answers.

Everyone comes from somewhere with all the inherent baggage that comes with being a human being.
