Answer 1

yup dude.. i think this is the best feature yahoo! have..

Answer 2

Yes I have learned from this experience and am still learning.

There is a polarity between the sincere travelers and those hear for a lark. LOL! That's alright. There are some people here just to expand their negativity and share it with others. I have come to appreciate that as useful. That has been a surprise to me. Another surprise is that I think I have come to understand Americans just a little bit better than I once did. Not a lot better, but just a bit. LOL! Ultimatly, it is how this experience integrates with the rest of my life that interests me.

I deeply appreciate many of the people I encounter here. It is strange, but there are some relationships that seem to transcend the mysteries of the avatar.

Here, we can interact so swiftly, with such a variety of views on existance that might be hindered if we actually faced one another. Sad but true. I am sure there are phonies amongst us but, I also believe there are many of us that are very sincere in our activities here.

It is a unique experience. I have not been here all that long. I have started to wonder how I will feel about this a year from now. Already, I am seeing a repetition of certain types of questions. This is life. We repeat, over and over again most often unaware of the repetition.

Some of the views here make me wonder if it is possible for humanity to survive and evolve. At other times, some of you give me hope that indeed we can grow to be better than we are and have a good future.

Sometimes I feel people don't listen to me when they see me face to face. They seem to make assumptions and not understand what I am saying. Not everyone of course, but it is quite frequent. I am a well spoken person so it isn't that. This does not seem to happen to me here. maybe the short interactions, maybe I just don't notice it because there are always a few people who do get it. I very much appreciate this.

Thank you.

Peace and undertanding... :-)

Answer 3

Yes, I have learned alot...it also makes me research things further...Alot of knowledge is being passed on here...but then there are a few here that try and stir things up.....
Knowledge is a wonderful thing to posses...
You should learn something knew every day.

Answer 4

Yes I do. We all got a far ways to go yet concerning to love one another and accepting each other with respect and equals. Too many hatred and non believers out there. May our Christ the Lord (the son of God) help us daily. Amen and Amen.

Answer 5

I have learned two or three things.
Many people dont take these questions seriously,start mocking and,even worse, become obscene and offend you. Its not normal,not even mature.
Make sure you also inform yourself from the right sources,see it with your eyes.

Answer 6

Yes I have....and in the process made some very good friends. That I will be friends with long after Yahoo has come and gone.

Answer 7

I've actually learned to become more patient. And to not let others rantings get to me. Everyone's entitled to their opinions after all. I don't even bother with those questions anymore.

Answer 8

Answer 9

I've learned quite a bit about-

Atheism
Islam
Christianity
and why they are the circle "I hate the other two,my beliefs are correct."

Answer 10

On any number of subjects here the contradictions and outright deceptions and gross ignorance are out of control... I fear for you in what you are "learning" here
