Like, “What does a Mormon believe?”
Or, “What do Buddhists believe?”

Does this bother anyone else? I mean, it’s not like you could write down the answers to these questions to in a few minutes in the little answer box. Aren’t these questions a little inappropriate and much better to ask in a Google search engine? I once saw a guy ask a question like this and the COMPLAIN when the answers were “too long”.

Reminder of the Question: Do you think it is a bad idea to come on to R&S and ask overly broad questions about religions? Is it just lazy?

Well some people prefer to hear what other people have to say and show their knowledge on a subject rather then reading something form a site such as Wikipedia or Religious Tolerance as it's so impersonal. Anyway people shouldn't complain about those types of questions as they are an opportunity to earn points for people like you and me. Plus people could pick and choose what types of questions they feel like answering and which ones they don't feel like answering. Plus it is Yahoo Answers.

So with the aid of your good judgment and way of thinking, if i will't shop each and every of the animals in the international, it fairly is pointless to shop any? that would not make experience. I do what i will this is functional for me to help do away with maximum animal suffering. i do no longer use dairy products, different than rennet much less cheese, and ice cream each and every often times. i do no longer consume eggs the two. Vegetarianism/Veganism isn't approximately being ideal (a minimum of it is not for me) it fairly is approximately each and every individual doing what they might. I ate meat for two decades in the previous I went Vegetarian, i think of this is exceedingly sturdy i replaced into able to get this far. at last whilst i'm waiting, i visit pass Vegan, yet until eventually then, no person is going to rigidity me (and confident, i comprehend what is going on in the dairy and egg industries, it fairly is terrible). *~advantages~*

R&S is one of the few forums where no actual 'expertise' in the subject is required, and I think Yahoo wasn't prepared for the silly debates and name calling this has become.

I notice specific questions aren't readily answered, but the broader 'pull your chain questions' are either answered in smarta$s quips or overly long cut and pastes.

I don't think it's laziness - it appears mostly just to get responses.

I think it is fine to ask for a good external reference that would answer the question.

It's like some people don't realize that it's OTHER people on "the other side of the monitor," lol.

Step away from the computer and read a book!

I suggest you give a general answer and include the website for a better study.

I think being vague is bad in general. like when you ask a question that, yunno, is not all that clear like what the so-and-sos believe or pointless questions like "are such-and-such something-or-other?"...
