There will be no changes to other Yahoo properties or services, or your Yahoo account. You can find more information about the Yahoo Answers shutdown and how to download your data on this help page.

Have you actually learned anything from Yahoo Answers questions?

LOL I'm so glad this site exists, I asked some pretty stupid things like, I used to be prejudice agianst people who were stereotypically gay, and it doesn't annoy me or concern me at all now. I actually realize how stupid I was?

It's just stupid to hate ANY group of people lol! I'm ashamed I was that stupid!!

I guess I'm just posting this to thank people who helped me out there.

Please tell me I'm not the only one!

Update:

Haha Chris, I wasn't actually looking that pessimisticly at things like that. But yeah I did learn how cruel and horrible some people can be. Now I know who to stay away from though.

    Hmm, I learned I have a cruel streak and just can't resist pointing out the obvious. I also learned that if what I read on here is even slightly true, I just simply don't want to know. I learned that, just like I suspected, people need to grow up and get lives. I also learned that for a very small percentage of people, this is a form of viable communication, and if something I say or advise helps even one person, its worth dealing with the maroons (yes, I mean maroon, not moron. Doesn't anyone watch the Stooges?)

    well I've learned there are a lot of lame ppl who have nothing better to do than rac up 5000 points in just a little over a month,and for what?

    I've learned that there are to many lonely ppl with almost nothing to do but this?

    I've learned that yahoo will do anything to attract ppl for yahoo's benefit,and nothing for the user.

    I've learned that Yahoo answers like all the web is being taken over by nutty kids.

    Something else Ive learned that someone can pose a query such as this and I can answer it only to have some odd individual presume some how that it has to do with them. WEIRD

    I have gained much information in various sites here.

    Many people have helped me come to terms with the loss of my beloved partner Gwenneth and the vile treatment of her remains by her family.

    I recently asked how I could thank all those who helped. especially those with no email contact. After thinking on the answers, I gained a feeling of quiet joy that I have not felt for years.

    May you find the same.

    Love, Rose P.

    Adam G,

    I learned that there are a lot more GLBT Christians out there. I am so relieved about that. The fundies are losing ground with their message of hate. To me, that's important.

    I've learned that there are a lot more hateful people out there than I thought....who claim to be "Christians".....when I know true Christians would never preach hatred and intolerance.

    and I've learned there are a lot more people out there that would make great friends as well....
