Yahoo! Answers users and bad advice?
Sometimes I am discouraged by all of the bad advice and information I see given to users on this site. In particular the maintenance and repair, and do-it-yourself categories. Sometimes the information and advice can get dangerous and its easy to see that some people just make things up in their mind to tell others. Im sure this is not exclusive to these categories. I can understand that sometimes maybe you make an incorrect statement or dont think things through before answering. I can understand that. What I cant understand is the same knuckle heads throwing out blatent incorrect advice and still being able to participate in these forums. What do you think?

1 AnswerFantasy Sports9 years agoHow did you choose where to get your mortgage?
How did you find the mortgage company you used to purchase your home or refinance? Internet search (nationwide or local?)...realtor/family/friend referral, where you bank or an advertisement (Billboard, Harmon Homes or local newspaper).
2 AnswersPersonal Finance10 years agoWhat do you guys think about this idea?
Would you be interested in a central fragrance system in your home. A system that has small outlets in every room, and has an easy fragrance cartridge that you change at least every 3 months. Lots of fragrance's to choose from. You could control the intensity of the fragrance by adjusting a dial that controls the small blower in the system and also you could adjust the fragrance to individual rooms. It could be easily installed in a new construction home and could be retro-fitted into most existing dwellings. Im just trying to see if there would be any kind of market for this kind of system. Just something I have been thinking about for a while now. What do you think?

3 AnswersCleaning & Laundry1 decade agoWhy don't askers ever choose a best answer?
Nothing irritates me more than taking the time to help someone out and answer their question only to have them never pick a best answer. Im not saying that my answer is always the best but pick an answer darn it. I think people who don't choose should be penalized 100 points if they don't choose an answer. That's why I do this. A challenge to get my best answer percentage up as high as possible. When 1 out of 10 people only choose a best answer its no fun. Y! Answers should do something about this.
7 AnswersYahoo Answers1 decade agoWhat are we going to do about Social Security and Medicare?
Im a younger American(29) who has been paying into Social Security and Medicare since the age of about 16. It is a know fact the Social Security will soon be paying out more than it is receiving in tax revenue. This is going to happen around 2017. Also, Medicaid has already been paying out more than it receives since 2006. In 2040 will only be able to pay out 75% of benefits and it will be less each following year. Why are we obligated to pay into something that might not even be around when I need these services. Why cant I invest my paycheck to what I see fit. Why cant I take my taxes and pay them into my 401k, instead of paying them into something that is doomed to fail. There needs to be reform, and it needs to be now. Us young people need to unite to demand a fix to this problem.

7 AnswersCleaning & Laundry1 decade agoCarb adjustment for a Techumseh small engine(snowblower)?
I did a little pre winter maintenance on my snow blower. I took out the old sparkplug and it was black. I took it to get a new one and the man told me he thought my fuel was burning too rich. I am assuming I am getting too much fuel and not enough air. I took apart the housing and got to the carb. There are two spring loaded screws. The problem is I don't know which one to turn and which way to turn it. I don't have the manual because I bought it from a friend. I am a handyman and do everything on my own but when it comes to engines I am a little uneducated. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
5 AnswersMaintenance & Repairs1 decade agoIs there a market for survival/preparedness?
We all know humanity is doomed for disaster at some point in our existence. Terrorists breeding like a wild forest fire. Hate and ideological beliefs being taught to minors around the world. Suicide bombings taking place in crowded marketplaces and sanctuaries. How long before this happens in the US. How long before we are infiltrated by extreme hate mongers. How long before you and your family are in danger of a major catastrophic event? Do you wanna be prepared for this or do you wanna lay down and die. Do you want to fight a biological attack and try and survive it or do you wanna not be prepared and lay down without a fight. I don't believe any of this will happen soon but it is a reality in our world in this day in age. I could supply you with one package that will increase you and your family's chances of beating a major attack. Its like owning a fire extinguisher. You know you will probably never have to use it but you want to have one on hand just in case. Its like having a gun in your closet. You hope and pray you will never have to use it but if the time comes you are prepared. Im talkin the same thing here. Tell me there is a market so I can make some bucks while Im still here and kicking

1 AnswerOther - Business & Finance1 decade agoProblem with HD Dvr from Time Warner?
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem. Ever since I got my HD box some of my channels repeatedly "stutter". That is the best way I can describe it. The audio and video constantly pause and stutter and you miss about 2 or 3 seconds of what happens. The sound goes(errrrrrrrrr). I have checked all of my connections outside and inside and everything is tight and my signal is only split once with an approved Time Warner splitter. Do you think it is the box? Its really annoying because it seems like it happens to every channel I like to watch, especially sports. Any ideas?
1 AnswerTiVO & DVRs1 decade agoIm just curious, what do you think?
Me and my wife are thinking about trying to sell disaster kits. I am just wondering if there is a market for such a thing. We all know that these days in time are crazy and even our own government says that the U.S. is vulnerable to a biological or chemical attack within the next five years. I think there is a market for this type of thing and I have easy access to getting some of the things that should be included in such a kit. Anyone can get these items but you cant get them all in one place. We all know that today's world is all about convenience. So tell me would you be interested in buying one of these kits if it were made available to you at one place for one price?
