Most people here just want someone to talk too. It fills a void...the content is not important....its just the contact they (self included) crave.

This is not a service from Yahoo - it is just hosted by Yahoo. The answersw come from the people who log in here.
If you ask a serious question, and it is in a domain which I have knowledge of, I will try and help you. Usually you can find all you need to know by using a good search engine, though. I would not come here to ask such questions myself.
If you ask a dumb-*** question, you will get the 'comedians' creeping out of the wood-work. Human nature I suppose.
In any event, I get two points, with the possibility of 10 if you vote my answer the best.

Because we are thoroughly confused and we want to avoid hard and harsh realities. We are also afraid that some stupid, dumb FBI, CIA may be keeping an eye on us. This is due to the fact that we are not taking out our time to find out the real path in this life and to get connected with the God so that we would not be afraid of any. We are like ostrych keeping our heads in sand but alas time is running out for each of us.

Depends on the person answering, mostly it's for entertainment value and if a helpful answer appears, so much the better. Pointless questions get the most answers because people can't get reported for posting a pointless answer to a pointless question, it's just 2 points free to them. Point and case, what i just wrote here, thanks for the 2 points :)

You are experiencing a new phenomenon called 'Yahoo frustration syndrome'. I had it earlier in the week. Take regular breaks from your Yahoo Answers, drink plenty of Jack Daniels and the frustration will subside. Or you could always simplify your questions so that dim tw*ts like me would know what the bloody hell you were on about.

Most people on on here for a bitof entertainment and to get their points! A silly 10 word answer is worth the same as a long and thought out answer.!

its cos most of em are americans - intelligence is not in the gene pool over there. Ask a serious question and they all run away to gorge on a macdonalds. Ask a stupid question and there is a collective sigh of relief from the richest third world country on the planet.

This site will work for you sometimes. Unfortunately there are those that just want to build up points, for what reason, I don't know but they answer questions that require no thought and they are the pointless ones. I don't know the answer to your question but perhaps you didn't put it in the correct category?
Believe me there are people out there with a wealth of knowledge to share.
I hope you have better luck next time.
PS You did put that question in the correct category! Perhaps it was just in the "too hard basket" for most.

probably because, people have their own problems to deal with and do not have enough time to think about how to solve another persons problems and that they just want to answer funny and light hearted questions... probably... basically, we are just wasting our time here... but a good waste of time, because, some of the answers here are quite, if not, really helpfull... some here really try, out of the goodness of their hearts to answer serious questions with serious answers...

There are a lot of young kids on here who are just mainly goofing around and aren't very deep. They might answer something as long as it's silly and dumb, but they don't really understand much about life other than what their liberal teachers or professors told them.
