So this is an update to a thread I made awhile back. I am asking if people here will like to join me on Yahoo Answers.
Yahoo Answers is a semi-forum where people ask questions and get immediate answers. The questions can be just about anything, but I usually answer practical questions. Examples are how to be a nullifying juror, how to deal with CPS (child protective services), how to handle a police roadblock, etc. I am hardly an expert in any of this, so I usually cite some legal/practical sources. Your own personal advice however, is often heeded.
Here are the pros of posting on Yahoo Answers:
1. Your audience (ages 13-retired) is captive because they are asking a practical question. They WILL read your answer.
2. The answers are short, to the point, and fairly instant.
3. You don't debate people, so you save A LOT of energy.
4. I copy & paste standard replies for questions that repeat themselves weekly/daily.
5. Moderation is scant. Except for threatening somebody, you can say just about anything. You can post anonymously or change your user name at will.

Here is a high school (or college) student considering the FBI. I point to the FBI's own website, where they acknowledge they "elements of deception," and "intrusion into the privacy of individuals."

I've answered a number of parents concerned about vaccinating their kids. They are not even aware of the many resources. Some actually think you MUST vaccinate your kid for him to enter public school!

The "Gender Studies" section is amusing. It's has mostly divorced men, "feminists," and wimpy guys who are under the thumbs of girls or actually buy into their fem nonsense. If you ever wonder about why men are wimps, you'll get your answer there. By the way, it's not hard to make your point there. Mostly emotional points by fat women.
