What is the point of spending your time on an online forum to put other people down without answering their question?

I'm not sure I understand the point. Whenever I ask a serious question on here, people are so bitter and judgmental without providing a simple 1+1=2 answer.

Must be Trump supporters... Simple questions deserve simple answers people. Don't get so emotionally involved.

    "Simple questions deserve simple answers people." Nope, not really. Yahoo Answers is not an information site. It's an entertainment site. Why do you think there is a thumb's up/thumb's down/best answer feature?

    Yahoo sells advertising and they want as many visitors to the site as they can get. 1+1=2 is boring as hell, don't you think?

    There have always been douchbag answers here and there always will be. Odd that you boiled this phenomena down to Trump supporters. Next time try using that big round lump 2.5 feet above your bum.

    Regards,

    Liberal Democrat.

    EDIT: REALLY ?!?! .. and then you insult me with a filthy response using a years old question.

    I have never seen your questions on here before, but from now on I will answer them anonymously.

    Actually, I thought I did a good job of making my point.

    Really? You bothered to ask that question; then called us Trump supporters, and expect a decent answer. P S Some trolls actually post "What is 1 + 1?" {The answer is "10, in base 2."}

    Stupid question - how much does a vacation cost?

    Stupid question - should I move to (names a city)? etc, etc. Not to mention all of the lazy students that do not even attempt to do their own homework, nor know what goofle (sic) is.

    I try to give honest answers that attempt to address the problem listed.

    However, sometimes I find that it hard to remember that there are no stupid questions because......seriously, have you read some of the questions on here? Some days it is hard to avoid being sarcastic.

Still have questions? Get your answers by asking now.
