Your opinions on Yahoo Answers.

Have any of you ever visited the Politics section on Yahoo Answers? It makes me want to shoot myself. Check it out if you have the time.

I had an account on that website but I terminated it after a week or two. I was kind of depressed at the time and there were a few douche bags on there.

i have an account there... get's weird sometimes, a lot of strange people

I think the whole site is weird...

"My chair smells really awful and I don't know why...?"

but yeah... politics is one of the worst... :|

I usually enjoy Yahoo Answers as I have always been able to get what I needed from it.

I just checked the political section on Yahoo Answer, it might serve you better to stick with GS. Every once in awhile we do have some pretty good discussion on politics here and it actually got me interested in the topic, something I never thought would happen :)

What I see on there:

people asking questions that you can find an answer for in literally seconds on your own, people asking others to make decisions for them, people attempting to seem smart, and people answering questions with the first thing that pops up on Google.

It's pretty much a waste of time.

Just one example.

I like it. Often a Y!A question is the first google result whenever I google something, and it's been very useful to me on many occasions.

That said a lot of the questions on there can fall into one of three categories:

- Questions posted by idiots
- Questions posted by trolls
- Questions posted by fetishists

The latter two categories actually make up a large proportion of the posts on Y!A, especially in certain sections like the parenting section where I dare say that 90% of the posts are written by fetishists or trolls. If you've ever wondered why so many questions on Y!A are so weird, that's the reason.

It makes good memes.

The sandwhich question was too good.

This just made me throw up.

I only used that site for tech support because politics and religious and spirituality are full of trolls.

if you want to laugh on Y! Answers go to Family & Relationships section! XD

its pretty cool

go in the religion section, the atheists and christians continiously abuse eachothers beliefs

I find that on some subjects on Yahoo Answers people usually know what they're talking about but in some subjects people are just downright stupid. The only section where I get reliable answers is the Military section.

Even though I use it sometimes.... It's baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!

I mean theres a lot of douche bags.

When it comes to relationshio questions, religion, or music they're terrible, even with health help they act like douche bags.

The only thing I had luck with is tech questions, and that's only a start off most of the time and then I'll have to figure the rest on other sites. And sometimes many more girls get on the tech boards and give answers to questions they know nothing about.

I love how people try answering questions even when they dont understand teh question just to get points

I use it to find the answers of some obscure questions I may have. Find it fairly reliable most of the time

I like it when I really just need a question answered...usually it's already been asked. It helped me finish an AP Biology lab once :D

Me and a friend could not stop sending each other really funny/random questions once.

Good times!

My opinion became a negative one after they banished me.
