Seems like there are a lot of questions asked on here that should be asked of a professional or at the very least can be found on the internet just as easily and usually with more information.

As far as seeking a professional, I imagine many people are asking these questions in order to get a grasp of what's going on BEFORE contacting a doctor. That way they can go into the appointment feeling more informed.
As for looking it up on their own, they may have already done so, but are now seeking others' perspectives or personal experiences.

I agree..sometimes I just google the question asked and pass it along on here. But other times I am plesantly surprised at some of the questions people ask. They make you think. Thats why I am addicted to YA

I think a lot of people, just want feedback, surely, they know for truly serious questions they should go to professional, or at least you can only hope.

Yes, and no..
Yes because we want more direct answer, and searching in the internet by goolge or yahoo may take some time
No becasue yahoo answers tend to motivate people to ask and answer. And that serves the purpose

People could just use Google and find out a lot of their answers but then we wouldn't be able to feel all smart by helping them with their stupid questions!

Why didn't you look it up or ask a professional instead of asking this question?

I agree.
I am even more bothered when people answer by linking to Wikipedia.
Sometimes it is fun to see what people on here say about controversial topics.

I wonder how many questions would need to be asked if people just googled it or looked for it on wikipedia... not many!

Some people just want a second opinion.

People usually want responses from real people at real time. It makes them feel more important and increases their self-worth. Pathetic isn't it?
