Why do you always get these fools who reply with "Do you're own homework!", when someone asks a question under homework help.
Thats what that section is there for, help with homework.
If you dont have a constructive or educated answer to give, then dont answer at all.

There is a BIG difference when someone asks for help and explains what they have already tried, or what part of a problem they don't understand or asks just for the general how do I get started on this problem. Anyone who answers one of these questions with "Do your own homework" is just point gaming.
HOWEVER, someone who has obviously just copied the text from their ditto sheet and is asking 8 questions at once is obviously just looking for someone to DO their homework for them and isn't asking for help. The analogy is, when I sit down with my 8 year old, am I helping them arrive at the answer themselves, or am I pushing them aside and writing the answers down for them?
My personal favorites are the ones where someone spent more time typing a question in here than opening up the calculator in windows or going to dictionary.com and doing it themselves. The other good ones are where someone (in highschool) types in 10 history questions that are all obviously short answer and hopes someone goes and does their research for them. I try to answer these in my best Dave Barry-ian fashion.

SO often it seems that people are just lazy and don't even try to do even "piece of cake" things! That is why! Do your own homework is a valuable piece of advice and precious from the asker's point of view, cause it is for his own good. Do not spam yahoo - try asking your teacher, your friends to compare your homework or sth - but do not sit in front of the comp. all the time thinking that other people will do the job!At the exams there won't be any yahooooos!

Because so many people ask what is OBVIOUSLY a homework question in areas that aren't in the "help for homework" section and maybe they figure its a funny way to make their point?

Because you have some people who want all the answers their homework. I seen a question where a person wanted someone to write a paper for them. They posted the topic for the paper he needed to have written. They claimed to have other things to do such as tests to study for and other work to do. That is not homework help that is, wanting someone to do their work for them. It is a difference in help and wanting someone to do it for them. Hope this helps.

Homework help is just that: HELP. That means not having someone do their assignments for them.
For example, given a math problem, don't ask us to solve the problem for you. Try working the problem yourself to see how far you get. If you get stuck, than ask for help. Don't just post the problem on the board, expecting us to solve your problem.

The fools who answer, "Do you own homework" are answering just to get points for answering!
If you use the homework help, don't expect someone to do it for you...just help steer you to the right direction for the right answers!

you go girl..... the problem is that there are those who are not asking for help, but wanting to be given the answers.

I agree with you. There's nothing wrong in asking for some help, on the contrary!
