Is any one starting to feel the same as I do? I find yahoo A & Q beginning to be a waste of time. Maybe I am going to the wrong categories? I find too many are Teen dating problems. I don't know how many questions I read before I decide to reply to one. Some things just sound soooo made up. Sick people! Like one girl today there was question, I am pregnant and there is blood all over the floor!! Help!! I mean get real you are bleeding and have time to be on your pc? Do you get my drift here? Things that are worthless to answer! Another one I didn't reply to , I am sleeping with my girlfriend and her mom. Yeah, my only thought was, who passed on the desease to whom first?! Another, are you jealous of the toys your kids get? Like grow up lady??My question is, where are the normal people on here? I sometimes look at the points the Top Contributors have and just think to myslf, Man, I would never last that long to get those points! Where are the adults???Thanks and Merry Christmas!

Some one here just asked me why I would give up points for this question. Goes to show you for me it's not about the points! Did a test last week and I asked a dumb question something that didn't make any sense what so ever, within seconds they all come out of the wood work with answers that made no sense as well! I then delete those. So the points is NO issue for me! Ask a question that really needs some thought, your question will expire before any one replies!

Finally a question that makes sence. Good questions are difficult to find. Maybe also because it is difficult to ask good questions.
We can make a change by starting to ask good questions but make sure we only react to good answers.
Example: I asked a serious question and got 0 answers. Just wneg the last minitues come, a top contributer gives an answer that doesn't make sence. He is in it for the points.
Example: I asked a questio to see if I could 'provoke' answers, and that worked only for a few minutes (instant reaction, no real answers.
So, we can make a change by starting to ask good questions, and then we will make it a better place.
If not, A & Q will somehow dissapear since it has no value.

I disagree. I also read many questions. Yahoo Answers is a novelty. Something to do to pass the time. I have answered foolishly (for the foolish questions) comical (for the funny questions) and some don't deserve a answer at all! There are also questions that come from the heart, and so my answer comes from my heart. My question to you: Would a normal person vent their frustrations to total strangers about what they've read on the computer? I'm also touched that you would give up such precious points to ask this! Happy New Year!

I'm just getting into it, so right now I'm kinda addicted. But I do see a few things that look made up. I guess some people just want attention and drama. Others just want to pick a fight and get people worked up. I've found a few good questions, but I guess the fun is in the searching. I personally don't like all the questions about how to fix your computer and all that. Boring!

Has it ever occurred to you that some of these people make things up just to see what people will say? I agree, you just have to weed the good from the bad. I would hate to see it end because think of all the people you may have helped on here. And yes, it is a lot of young kids, things that may be stupid to older people now. Just remember you were there once, how did you feel?

If you think there are too many teen dating problems on here, then clearly you need to get out of categories that are likely to get teen dating questions. Of course the dating category will have a lot of teen dating questions, since there are so many teenagers online.
You yourself said maybe you're going to the wrong categories. All I can tell you is: yep, that's your problem.

I feel you! And I've read alot of stupid questions too! I just answer one about a dumb girl who has a boyfriend and lied to him about being pregnant, then wants to get pregnant by her EX! I hope that one was a scam cuz it got my blood pressure boiling! If I could jump out of my computer and slap some of these people, there would be alot of people out there with my keyboard imprints on their face! Whew, glad I got that off my chest.

Normal, is a dryer setting. There really is no such thing as "normal." The world is a diverse place, full of falsities and truths. Just enjoy being here, and laugh off what you find ridiculous. Or... you could always move on.

I understand where you are coming from. How about all the girls who want to know if they are pregnant? That bugs me. But Answers does get me through some pretty boring parts of my day at work. PS I'm an adult.
