Yahoo Answers is shutting down on 4 May 2021 (Eastern Time) and the Yahoo Answers website is now 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.

How do you feel about all these people who ask questions which could easily be looked up on the internet?

How about the people who ask really idiotic or meaningless questions?

How about the people who ask rhetorical questions?

How about the people who want you to do their homework for them?

I'm just wondering if I am being overly critical of these people.

What do you think about ME for asking?

Thanks, all.

    I hope your're not referring to me. I asked for help on an essay earlier and you responded with your completely useless line "in THIS world, you do your own thinking and homework." I spent three hours prior brainstorming, I searched google and tried to come up with something that makes sense. I came up with nothing. So I went to yahoo answers for help, that's what its for: to ask questions and get answers, only to be told I am lazy. I wasn't asking for you to do my homework for me, I was asking for some help, or maybe to be pointed in the right direction. I am not a lazy person, I study hard and I get good grades, well at most of my classes least. However hard work can only take you so far, and I'm complete crap at creative writing or writing from scratch, and I hate the humanities. I just can't think of anything. There is no need to be condescending or rude, if you don't wish to help or you can't, then don't.

    No hard feelings, just a bit annoyed.. :-/

    Sometimes I think, either they are clueless about the internet, or have no life and must ask a question just because they have nothing better to do.

    i feel sorry for all clueless people. been wanting to ask the same for awhile now, but i would get flagged for calling them all idiots. believe me, your not critical, just honest and straightforward.

Still have questions? Get answers by asking now.
