It would be better to cut if off, but if you want to yank it go ahead.
After you've done that make sure the fungus hasn't gone beyond the toenail and take it from there. If it has go to a doctor and follow his advice.

Yeah, cut it off, you don't want to spread the fungus to other toenails. if you can remove all of the fungus that way that is the best because it can spread to the rest of your nails.
Also, you should buy some lamisil cream for that so that you can further prevent the spread of the fungus.

best option: see a doctor
or: don't yank it, you'll damage your nail bed and it will not grow back the way it was. (besides it'll hurt like crazy and you'll prob will get an even bigger and worse infection)
Cut it short, wash your feet twice daily and apply an anti-fungus cream (drugstore or pharmacist, over the counter)

Go see a foot doctor and let him/her treat you. You may be doing more harm than good by yanking it off yourself. Most fungal infections of the nail are caused by the Tricophyton family of funguses and can be treated with griseofulvin and itraconazole.

Go to your local Podiatrist (Foot Doctor) right away! A fungus won't go away on its own! Leave the nail on or you risk infection also.

See a podiatrist to have it removed properly. If you take it off yourself you will risk infection. The podiatrist can also recomend treatment to kill the fungus and prevent it from returning.

nails improve one million/8 inch in keeping with month, and as long because of the fact the nail matrix isn't broken (the area deep below the cuticle the place the nail grows from) it is going to enhance back in 3 to 6 months

No, if you do that, you are risking a systemic infection. Go to a podiatrist and he will remove the nail.
