Where the heck are the normal people? The topic here is supposed to be about LBGT yet over and over Juvenile Julie or Johnny ask the most obtuse things with bad grammar and horrid spelling. Don't parents supervise their children anymore?

This is getting to the point that I don't even want to participate. It seems to be children playing games.

No, parents don't supervise their children anymore. At least not online anyway. I thought the technology gap between generations would have gotten smaller by now, but I was wrong. I learned that a lot of the parents of teens and tweens nowadays actually don't have the computer know-how to keep track of their kids online. My kids are gonna hate me because I won't be letting them get away with any crap online. But too bad. :)
You know what I would really like to see? It's pretty much always the same people here who are nice enough to answer the same curiosity and panicking/identity formation questions over and over. I think it would be cool if we could post each repetitive question in a generic form, answer it, and then ANY time a kid comes on here with those questions whoever gets to it first just says something nice and posts the link to the question we set up.
That might free up some time/brain cells for us to ask other questions. What do people think of that idea??? Because I would really rather talk about stuff other than "omg I thought my friend looked cute am I bisexual????"

i was just asking my roommate the same thing. i think the age group of the bulk of the yahoo answers clientele is around middle school. the cute avatars, the point system... it's a set of features that appeals to a young audience. unfortunately a young audience usually means an ignorant one. that's not to say that there aren't some bright young posters to be found, here or elsewhere on the internet. i used to be one. but here we have an exacerbation of the same pattern found in every aspect of life: the morons FAR exceed those with any intelligence.

A lot of posters are teen-agers, sometimes less.
Notice the very few answers that my question "What is the origin of the concept of 'latent homosexuality?" received in one day, and the dozens of answers that, for instance, gets in less than 10 minutes, a mispelled question, such as "how do you kiss, where do you kiss, how many times have you kissed in your life?"
Well, hopefully for today we won't get "Is Gay a choice or an illness?" question for the 1,387,258th time, and no God will bake us all in the oven.

Yep. Welcome to the 21st Century.
What is sad is that the native intelligence of today's children is higher than ever. But our society and its educational system are designed to neutralize that problem for our overseers.

Yes. Most of them, but some of us actually have two brain cells to rub together.

Sadly, yes. I do not bother reading the silly or Repent Ye. type so they might be even worse.
