Yahoo Answers is a semi-forum where users get answers to various life questions: legal, health, career, dating, parenting, pets, etc. The format is a Yahoo user posting a question and other Yahoo users posting an answer. Questioners have the option of choosing a Best Answer out of all the answers.
I frequent the sub-forums Law Enforcement and Military. A lot of students and people in their twenties ask questions because they are interested in being a soldier or cop. The advice I post is probably not what they expect because I post all the problems with police and the military.
The thing I like about Yahoo Answers is that you have a captive audience. The questioner is seeking an answer, so they will read your answer. I've actually gotten a few Best Answers.
I don't know if this actually makes a difference; however, if I learned that some student did not become a cop because he learned the systemic abuse, then that would be gratifying.
My posts are below, under user name Michael. The cops and vets hate me. The vets are not like the ones on Ron Paul forums.
--This high school student wanted to know what being a cop is like. She ended up giving me a Best Answer. Maybe she'll choose another career path.

--This kid is asking about the military. Read the comments. One vet always reports me because he thinks I sock puppet my own answers. The rest of them cuss me out. LOL

By the way, my answers are a little crude, but I've polished the language since then.
