10 AnswersBiology1 decade agoWho are the funniest comedians, or people, you've ever seen?
No limit; if you'd like to rattle off 30, go ahead. No particular order, unless you want to. I'd like to see who people consider funny. I'd like to see how far back some of us go.
7 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoReferring to oneself in the 3rd person, do you think it signifies anything?
As if, for instance, I routinely said or wrote "barry c says" such and such, or "barry c thinks" yatta yatta; "if you ask barry c..."
4 AnswersWords & Wordplay1 decade agoOkay; I'll bite. Just what is "emo" all about? What's it mean?

6 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoClosing access to your Y!A Q&A...?
why do you do that? I've been noticing a number of high point (Yahoo Answers)people, particularly, that do this. What's all the secrecy about. Is it like a stealing your soul kind of thing?
You know, the way tribespeople don't want their pictures taken? I don't get it. Please explain.
And please, peanut gallery: let's see what the people who do this say, and not muddy the waters with a lot of wise cracks.
2 AnswersOther - Yahoo Products1 decade agoWhich group is more intolerant, the Taliban or the Protestant zealot "right"?
Of course, they aren't able to administer public beatings to all the "non-believers" here, like the Taliban did in Afghanistan, but don't you get the feeling that a lot of them wish they could?
11 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoI picked up a nasty virus thru Y!A, and I'd like to know?
see, I had seen this answer before, for a number of questions, something like" yeah, that's right. I want to answer, but it's too long", then a web link, which I idiotically opened. I'm sure this is where the virus originated. Now I keep getting these empty black file boxes on my screen, piles of them. Any idea what I should do?

Question: WHAT is the best way to promote the gun culture in the USA?
Question Details:
Deleted Answer: How the founders intentions ever became so distorted as to foster a belief that freedom is to be equated with arming ourselves to the teeth, I will never understand. How year after year we can watch the news to yet another child getting a hold of a weapon at home, to blow themselves or another child away, baffles me. Why the NRA is against any form of control, registration, weapon form (legal machine guns? for what?) limitation, leaves me speechless
So, what did they get me on (can’t get a straight answer out of these guys) Poor grammar? Garbled syntax? You may not agree with my point of view, but what’s with the censure over this. Savonarola couldn’t have done better!

Does anyone agree with me that all the media hype still ongoing stems from an unspoken desire to see her make yet a bigger fool out of herself than she already has?
2 AnswersCelebrities1 decade agoScam emails, big up-tick recently. Anyone care to comment on the why of this?
you know; I've got an account here in ____, 5 mill., 20 mill. you name it; let me send it to you and you can keep such and such a percent. Commonly referred to, I believe, as the nigerian scam. Been around for years, but in the last 6 weeks or so, it's seemed like an explosion to me.

1 AnswerNewborn & Baby1 decade agoinfant innoculation?
Is there a pro and con as regarding the advisability of infant innoculation, or is this an issue beyond dispute? Problem: we live in Viet Nam: in the past half year, for whatever reason, there have been 9 infant deaths attributable to innoculations!
