I nearly always treat the question as being flippant and to which requires an equally flippant answer. Why?

I see that the philosophical are amongst us tonight.

Because many of the questioners are trying to stir up the bee's nest, and are not really interested in an answer. It's their way of putting people down by asking a question. Very Observant by the way.

Hi Boudicca's dream,
There are a lot of “flippant questions” with double meaning in Yahoo answers.
This is what I did before answering your question:
I scanned your questions and in particular your resolved questions and decided that yours is genuine, and does not have a double meaning, therefore I gave you a straight answer.
Hope that helps

My advice - so what if there is a double meaning? Have fun with it! Answer seriously the questions you feel deserve serious answers - and answer flippantly the ones you feel flippant about. As one answerer said - you don't know who we are, we don't know who you are. And I like pizza, too.

You ARE in the psychology section. I come over here to have fun with these stuffed-shirt psychologists and also trying to educate some of them to the way, the truth and the light. Science.

Maybe you're a flippant person!

Simple, you're an abstract thinker. You look beyond the surface and when presented with frivilous questions that's the only way u can answer it.

Because you probably know that 90% of people on here do have a double meaning to their questions....

I guess your tolerance for ambiguity is equally as low as mine; however, I seriously want to develop an open mind and not judge others that may use ambiguous language.

You don't trust. There is not a double meaning to the questions. Sometimes there are questions from fakes but so what. Practice. Afterall we don't know who you are and you don't know who we are...so what is the risk?

Perhaps there always is such a meaning. Perhaps we all see what we want to see.
Often my inner monologue adds "said the actress to the bishop" to many things I read or hear.
