Yahoo Answers is shutting down on May 4th, 2021 (Eastern Time) and beginning April 20th, 2021 (Eastern Time) the Yahoo Answers website will be in read-only mode. 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.

Why do people ask and answer questions here?

A. Mostly because they need answers from which they can get the INFORMATION and IDEAS that they need.

B. Mostly because they are stressed or frustrated and they somehow speak out their bitterness trying to release their bad feelings (emotions).

C. Mostly because they have certain beliefs and they ask questions with the motive of cornering or "hitting" others with words, or some sort like that.

D. .......................... (tell me your own opinion or perception)

I personally hope this place can be used for exchanging information and ideas for the betterment, enrichment and the well-being of all of us, the citizens of the earth as one big benevolent family. Hopefully.

    Just be whom you want to be, not what others want to see.

    The only disability of a man is his bad attitude, .......... and most askers and answerers seek this forum to vent their bitterness or frustations.

    Criticism may not not be agreeable, but it is necessary.

    It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body.

    It calls attention to an unhealthy state of mind. (Winston S Chrchill )

    It is a fact that this forum like the others are infected with trolls.

    Habitual trolls invent falsehood not to gain any end or even to deceive the participants, but to amuse themselves ..... it is not knowledge -seeking as claimed.

    It is a practice and habit that are hard to eradicate.

    It requires an effort in such people to speak the truth !!!
