    It only ruins the venue for those who are bothered by it. It really doesn't ruin it for me but the trend does say something a little unsettling about juveniles and does leave me wondering a bit about a generation who just likes to agitate and disrupt, has nothing worthwhile to contribute nor is interested in learning, yet expects to reap all the rewards that come from strive that builds character. Life does have a way to teach it's lessons and lack of character does have a way to backfire.

    When has Yahoo ever been a venue for the exchange of real information? Often, it is someone seeking agreement with his dubious beliefs. Some users want "Believers Only" sections. Yahoo allows too much.

    I wish I could up vote your question. Most of the questions on here are something like:

    "Can I learn ________ martial art online?"

    "how do I fight?"

    *random question about the UFC*

    "Bruce Lee vs ______?"

    "Chuck Norris vs _________?"

    I'm also sick of the rhetorical questions where users just bash martial arts systems they clearly have never trained and know very little about, or just argue that this system is crap, or that system is crap just because they've spent a couple of years training in ONE style and assume there is nothing better.

    Too much ego stroking and chest beating. If martial arts has taught me anything, it would be the benefits of humility and respect.... whether it be face to face or online.

    Kids like to pretend thing their not and fighting arts seem cool, and are, but, far more complex in nature so these kids make fools of themselves. I enjoy polishing my knowledge and having to remember knowledge learned.

    Because, juveniles love to inflate themselves in a venue where that can't be seen. They believe because they are not visible that they can claim to be anything. They like to claim to be anything and everything toughing they are experts and everything with just cutting and pasting information and non-conscience answers to get in this game of point. I love the fact that as they get older they will run into a wall of truth and being reviled and saying, I really knew nothing, I so embarrassed, at least no one knows who I really am and I never new anything. We all knew that... Any half-wit can get on this, the real people recognizes the fakes immediately. Source there info or ask for theirs, they have none.

    I suspect it is because a lot of them are actually juveniles who think it is funny to ask irrelevant questions. I actually don't mind that much if they are funny and satirical. But, ignorance just for the sake of ignorance is annoying.
