    I don't do that. Maybe they are just cheaters, liars and thieves in real life, so yahoo wouldn't mean anything to them.

    But it really pisses me off when I spend hours or even days sometimes researching and the asker picks someone who's avatar looks good or there friend. When there answer was the stupidest one! Makes people not even want to take the time to get on here and try, don't you agree?

    I agree that this happens. And I do it sometimes. But there is always a grain of truth to it. Let's face it, christians are all over the map in terms of how they harmonize their religious views with physical observation and the 'accuracy' of the bible. For instance some say the story of the flood is an allegory and not meant to be taken literally while others take it so literally that they contend it didn't rain until the fllod. On the other hand, Christians, willfully misinterpet the theory of evolution despite being corrected on it irepeatedly. No biologist has ever claimed that man evolved from monkeys or that a monkey suddenly gave birth to a human or that a fish gave birth to a bird. Yet I see this false representation on here ALL THE TIME and oftern from the same person despite the fact that their error has been pointed out to them.

    I don't allow people to e mail me, I get enough spam already. I don't want to get e mailed by some kids asking for help with their homework.

    I do check back to see what other answers have been written sometimes. Generally my answers are either things with no right or wrong answer (like this one) or facts I'm sure of.

    A majority of these questions are opinion, there is many right answers. Also people may sincerely think they know the answer. I don't allow people to e-mail me to protect my privacy.

    Are people doing this just for the points? Why you don't win anything?

    I ask questions expecting a variety of views and opinions or consensus. It's like brainstorming. Then I chose what works for me --or not.

    Frankly, I would not use this as a final source for very important or life threatening issues!

    Because they were only after the 2 points! 2 points for god's sake... some people need to get a life!

    Personally it really does my head in when people answer a question with "I don't know". I mean really what is the point?!

    this is an easy 2 points

    i could just insult you and still get the points but i think its because most of them are pricks and have nothing else good in there lifes and this is the one little bit of joy they manage to get. if that is so they need HELP.

    Who cares? Let them have their two points. Why waste the time e-mailing them?

    *sigh*

    people actually dont really like to work on their profile..! this option is enabled on the Yahoo Answers profile page but many users just ignore this, in effect blocking out any sort of feedback.

    i do hope people reading this enable this option NOW!

    Be thankful you can't email them - you would be busy sending them all day long. Just let them have their two points and don 't vote them for best answers.

    I agree,if they dont know the right answer for certain they shouldnt answer.

    Ive seen people put answers that could be life threatening about illnesses.

    You should be able to do something about it.
