  • Why, in this category alone, do you find that the questions are usually longer than the answers?

    I would think, for questions of such gravity, it would be the other way around....

    Many of you are not really asking sincere questions, but standing on your soapbox, trying to make a point, impose your beliefs, or start an argument. If this is your aim, then get a blog.

    And if you are not going to give a sincere, heart-felt answer to such deep questions, then why respond to begin with? What does it accomplish?

    Example:

    Question: 'What evidence is there that God even exists?'

    Answer: 'The Bible.'

    Who are you going to convince if it doesn't even mean enough to you to write more than 2 words about your beliefs? I honestly think that if that is all you can say, then you either don't know what you believe or never really thought about your beliefs and whether you truly believe or not.

    'Believe' is a word with strong emotion.

    I wonder if any good comes out of this category. Yahoo! Answers should just delete it. What do you guys think?

  • Can phenylephrine hydrochloride nasal drops be safely used on a 1 month old for decongestion?

    The brand we bought was 'little noses'. We had asked for saline drops, but apparently you don't have to know what that is to work at a pharmacy. When we got home, we realized this was medication. We decided to give it a try. Then we told our doctor. She said don't use it. I guess I'm wondering if there are any possible dangerous side effects I should look for and how long I would need to look for them. Any knowledgable advice would be much appreciated. Thanks.
