I am using Yahoo Q&A in hopes of learning a little more about others during what's left of my short time on earth.

Why has email started loading so slowly?
Several months ago yahoo upgraded the email page and since my windows ie took up to 90 sec. to open an email so I switche my home ie to firefox which I have used often anyway.
In last two week I am encountering the same issue trying to open an email.
FYI: Loading the home email page and emails are fine, it's when trying to open an email the problem happens.
I would appreciate info which might fix this problem.

5 AnswersElections8 years agoHow much thought and research do you think is put into yahoo questions answers?
This is only a curiosity question because of what strikes me as nearly impossible stats.
I will provide an example to explain. The leading answerer in Politics and Government has given approx. 56253 answers since June 2009. That's about 4.4yrs which is 38438 hrs. The math says that's approx. 1.5 answers per hour 24hrs a day 7 days a week for 4.4yrs.
Maybe I'm extra slow but it takes me usually a minimum of 15-20min to consider a question and appropriately word an answer. Often I can spend an hour or more to research, contemplate, compose and post an answer for a more in-depth question.
Please don't anyone take this as a complaint or a rant because it isn't, I'm OK with it. I am truly seeking information about how others think this can be done.
3 AnswersYahoo Answers8 years agoWhy do I get a "Violation Notice Email" when I ask a question about President Obama?
I've asked a couple of questions regarding peoples thoughts about President Obama and then later received a Violation Notice Email and had my question removed.
Am I not supposed to as ask for the public thoughts on this site?
I've read the Community Guidelines and Terms of Service and just not sure of what the violation is. Since government and politics are categories offered it seems these types of questions are welcomed.
6 AnswersYahoo Answers8 years agoDo you believe President Obama truly cares about American citizens?
Using super simple logic, if a person who really cares about you suggested you ask for a credit increase when you are already over six times your annual income in debt would believe they have your best interest in mind?
11 AnswersGovernment8 years agoDo you believe in a creator but not in religion?
Since I was young I've had a dislike for religious organizations. As the years have gone by and after investigating many different religions I still feel the same way. My problem is my belief in a creator of "all" grows stronger all the time, and at this time I've no doubt at all that there is one. Yet when it comes up people say if I'm not religious I'm not a true believer. I can't believe I'm alone in this faith that something cares for me unconditionally, as it wants me to care for others.
Each day is not only the present, it is a present.
10 AnswersReligion & Spirituality8 years agoWhich would you choose, a college degree OR on the job trained skilled person ?
Put a different way, which do you think would know how to take care of problems and assume responsibility for the outcome.
I'm not asking about any particular skill, just generally.
1 AnswerOther - Education8 years agoDoes sexually explicit language constitute child abuse legally?
When parents and grandparents constantly use F*** around the children and use F***er directed at them regularly does it constitute a legal infraction. If so, could you please provide a case law which supports your answer.
5 AnswersLaw & Ethics8 years agoWhy people of color or ethnicity often be the first to bring it up?
Often when an occurrence of some sort happens, whether it be positive or negative, people of color will be the first to point out it involved one of color. Yet they are the first to complain, usually, that they are being pointed out for being of color.
It strikes me that discussion of the occurrence itself is much more important than ethnicity which the majority of the time is irrelevant.
4 AnswersOther - Society & Culture8 years agoIs it a surprise Obama is concerned about Egypt' Morsi removal for lying to the people regarding democracy?
Pres. Obama' lack of willingness to condemn Morsi' for misleading the people of Egypt regarding the direction of his leadership rings awfully close to what has happened here. His slogan of bringing change to our country was assumed to be closer to what our founding fathers had written the constitution for. Anyway you look at it, his choice of change has been toward larger goverment control of everything from what is best for each individual to mother nature herself.
7 AnswersGovernment8 years agoWhy do modern day congress members address political party ideals rather than American ideals?
From what I see following the news, our congress is most interested in a "what can we get away with" agenda. The democrat and republican parties both sound like inter-city gangs battling for turf. They seem to have lost he basis our constitution of the people governing themselves. Seldom do they voice an opinion which isn't based on their party getting the most they can for their party rather than for the American people. The shame to me seems that their "turf' is "American Rights". I'm interested in your opinions of how this dynamic change has occured.
