I don't think so. You have to consider the experience behind an older person they can be wiser but not always up with the times but they will answer toprotect you from bad things and they still know what goes on in arelationship and with a lot of other things. Not saying young people aren't wise I have seen alot of darn good advise from young people. hope this helps answer you question.

Brilliant stuff! I agree with all your rants. It's great to hear that someone else gets bugged by those things.\n\nCurrently, my rants are:\n\n1.People that think any woman over 40 is having the menopause (the average age is 50!!) This is just another way to put women down, and its not even accurate!!\n\n2. Men in their 50s or older who think a woman of their own age is way too old for them and are sure that women half their age are gagging to go out with them!\n\n3. People who automatically make assumptions about people - stereotyping them (as above)\n\nOK, from this you can guess my age!!! But I'm not menopausal, just feisty.\n\nLook forward to reading more rants!!!

The trolls on this site bother me.  I'd like to see intelligent exchanges of information, ideas and opinions, and I see too much adolescent vandalism, in effect.  Virtual vandals, as it were.\n\nThere is a stage in life between being really a child and being fully adult, which is admittedly rather awkward.  It's not just having an age that end in "teen."  It happens at 10 or 11 for some, continues well into their 20s for many.\n\nPeriodically, we older folks lose our patience and just shout GROW UP!!!  But that does not actually help, except perhaps to temporarily relieve the stress.  I'll try to avoid that attitude.\n\nBut one of the reasons this stage is so difficult is that you are creating the adult you will be.  Why not create the adult you WANT TO be?  "Will" is a very important word, magically.  If you cannot be governed by your own true will, you will go through life being angry with yourself.\n\nObviously, this implies that you must know what your own true will is:  what your values are.  What you believe of right and wrong.  And that's a sufficiently difficult task that it's no wonder many people go about it bass-ackwards, as my Daddy used to say.\n\nDon't waste your time on the "process of elimination," by systematically making every mistake in the book.  Observe the ways of those who have been through it, and do some thought experiments.  Saves a lot of grief doing damage control later, believe me.\n\nWho do you seriously admire?  Who would you like to emulate, at least in the parts of their lives you know about?  Ah, we have a dilemma here at once, because you usually only know a jumble of facts and half-truths and outright lies about most people, and that's especially true of celebrities, and especially those in the entertainment industry.  So unless you really do have a rare performance talent, forget those for models.  No way to gage the truth content of People Magazine.\n\nWho do you admire?  Biographical or fictional, the exercise will still work, because it's only to gain insight into your values.  It is NOT silly for people to use the Harry Potter series that way, even though the characters are blatantly fictional.  They represent character traits.  How obvious, when the four houses of Hogwarts are so symbolized and organized.  \n\nThe question of what's bugging you is indeed a good one, because it is a starting point for the far more important question, what do you value?  What's bugging you, then, is anything that interferes in your pursuing that which you value.  I value this communication opportunity, to share with the entire English-speaking world, and I therefore hate the threat the trolls bring to this project.

They're very immature, and/or so insecure that they have to put someone else down to feel better about themselves.  \n\nI personally love this site, because I like to get others' opinions on issues as well as give advice, if it's asked for.  I take it reasonably seriously.  Even if someone's asking a silly question on purpose, I'll probably answer whimsically, but never in a derogatory fashion.\n\nDon't worry, they're not the majority on here!  :)

I like a healthy debate. Although i agree that the childishness is annoying. I just ignore those and report the obscene or insulting. I would highly recommend others do the same. When the adolescents post the crude questions, I would highly recommend the more mature of us just ignore and report accordingly. Do not give them the satisfaction of an answer.

No.  I try not too but I have snapped at a few in irritation & then if I felt bad about it, I contacted them privately if they allowed it & apologized.  If not, then I went back and Edited my answer, or deleted it.

I THINK THAT IT IS FOR ALL AGES, BUT THERE ARE SOME IMMATURE PEOPLE ON HERE.

I agree whole-heartedly. This has been bugging me quite a bit. What bothers me even more is that people have such horrific spelling and grammar to begin with. I'm assuming that most of the people who post on this website are at least 13 or older. People of that age should be capable of expressing themselves clearly and intelligently.

I can always tell when teenagers are on this site (after school and weekends). But I would think at least half of the people on here are the younger generation.

Well, Quiet,\n It seems to me that the majority of people here are 20's and below. Their lifestyle has always included instant, within-seconds types of responses. Everything happens at the speed of light, so they ask the question, give it a minute, check the answer then move on to IMing their friend or whatever electronic, flashy toy they're playing with.\n This is meant with no disrespect, its just that they do their thing, get the info they need, and move on. You can tell that they're in a rush, as half of the questions asked are in shortened form, or some kind of electro slang that's popular with the kids now. I mean, if you can't take 5 minutes to properly spell and grammatically check your question, do you really think that they'll be back to give you a rating?\nMy opinion on the issue.\nCheers !!

I think it's stupid. I also hate that if you tick someone off with an answer they don't like, they can report you for no reason at all. This forum should be FUN, and some people ruin it for others.\nI think if someone is offended by a question or answer, he should just AVOID it!!

No I am not.For 6hrs.a day you guys weren't on the site.That way us old people could ask questions about how to make you mind.Now we aren't going to be able to do that.lol\nWE NEED YEAR ROUND SCHOOL!!Parents unite.HA!ha...

I think its a good idea to see an age just so some of us old guys who are on here dont get friendly with the kids. If I know Im talking to a kid I stop sometimes you dont know its a kid, there are adults on here too.\n I even went as far as going to the bottom of the answers page and asked them to consider a room for us older people.Yahoo has a suggestion link. \n I see your point cause there are weirdo's out there....but for me, if I know its a kid,,,I dont get involved\n ALSO IF THERE ARE ANYMORE people out therewho are older it would not hurt to send a comment to yahoo asking for a old people place. Adults and kids both would be happy if they had it

I think yahoo answers is not the place for you. You only had one answer you didn't like and already you're turning nasty! Sorry but I think you should just forget about it!

They think it's funny.  But there are alot more appropriate sites to ask nasty questions.. there are alot of kids on this site and I don't think alot of the question's are good for kids to read.  I also think some people are on here just to get reaction's from people.  They think it's fun to get people all worked up.
