Isn't Yahoo Answers Just The Most Depressing Thing?
You see a vacant question and try to submit what you think is a brilliant answer, only to discover 57 other answers that are exactly the same as yours before you can even finish typing. Does it make you sad that you're just another sheep in the herd without an original idea, or happy that so many like-minded people are connected?

I know where you're coming from. In a way I think it's good that some people share similar views as I do with respect to opinion-related questions, but when it comes to questions like, "I have a problem with my car, how do I fix it?" it's kinda disconcerting to see others who can type faster than you and end up above you. lol.. but I leave my answer up there anyways.
What really depresses me are the politics / religion / war / race issue questions.. although everyone's entitled to their opinion, I have to say that some of the answers I've read show the sheer ignorance and blindness of some people and they don't base their opinion on facts.. but I respect their opinion anyway regardless of what I think.. now I ignore those questions.

Are you depressed?
I think Yahoo! Answers is a brilliant avenue to ask questions that you won't find on the internet or will take a lot of time to research. Or for questions that require a little local or specialised knowledge.
It also very much depends on the questions asked. I mean, if someone asks a question like "Is the pope Catholic?" then you would be among millions who will answer Yes, if you chose to answer it!

I would desire to trust you at cases....definite various the stuff is fairly depressing, yet regrettably that is not in basic terms on YA...that is certainty....that is in basic terms all compiled into one internet site, ya understand what I recommend? yet i'm in general such as you assert you're- I follow Weddings, reason that's what i'm doing too- making plans my wedding ceremony...I test different questions each and every so often and in basic terms somewhat examine those that interest me in a great way. various the suicide q's regrettably tend to be hoaxes, i've got come to ascertain, that's rather unwell- so i attempt to circumvent those in any respect expenses. in any case- shop centred on the authentic reasons which you come back on right here- and attempt to nevertheless have relaxing making plans you wedding ceremony.

I find this place amusing. Amusing because 90% of the questions asked could easily be answered by the asker if s/he just typed the question into Google's search engine.

no.its depend on how u take it,positivly or negatively.its the place where u share ur idea,not to prove who is the best. sometimes,people have the same idea as we r but mostly,we had different idea. so,open ur mind for everybody n u will enjoy ur life n time here. just be happy to share ur idea coz whoknows,ur idea will cheer or help others!

If I'm not the first to answer something then I usually edit and change my answer to something more original. But that rarely happens. I'm not the slowest typer and I like to take pride in my originality!

That is bound to happen, there is like a million ppl on Y answers.
I usually look for questions, and I have a text file on my desktop to copy and paste.
