The smart on Yahoo Answers

Ok so when I'm not on YouTube or SCOA I'm at Yahoo Answers answering all smart car questions! Ususally good smart car questions are just spammed up with people who dislike them. Whenever I look at a smart car question there is usually one person that makes one sentence about how the car is good. So when I joined up I self proclaimed myself the "youngest smart car guru" . Some answers well exceed my usual 3-5 paragraphs. One weird thing is that one person really disliked the smart so much that they repeated the same smart bashing question 4+ times because my answers!

Here's my latest answer (I'm Johann on YA, it's my real name)(unrelated to the smart but full of useful info)
What is the cheapest brand new car you can buy? - Yahoo! Answers

Here's one of my favorites (it's in the series of repeated same questions)
Why is the smart car bad? - Yahoo! Answers
yeah, I was 1 second off on the 0-60

So do any of you do some smart justice on YA or is it all up to me?

Does anybody else use Yahoo Answers?

Way to represent!

Wow, amazingly bad logic on Yahoo Answers. Here is the question I saw first, quoted:

'Why is the smart car bad?
i am doing a research paper on why smart cars should be banned because they are dangerous to people. I wanna know every detail why you think the smart car is a bad car nationwide =]'

This genius has a conclusion, and needs to write a paper to support the conclusion and is asking others to support it. This is like asking, 'Why do we know the Moon landing was faked? Please respond with your answers' or more 'down to Earth', 'How do we know motorcycles are unsafe and should be banned?'

This approach is completely illogical, and such a violation of the laws of logic would be severely lambasted in any kind of real debate.

The best thing for a fair, impartial party to do is collect data first, and THEN come to conclusions based on the data without violating the laws of logic (as in, not merely attempting to prop-up an a-priori conclusion).

Oh and that's not the funny part. That user repeated the same question about 3 or 4 more times but with similar titles asking for people to bash the car. So I just repeated my answers. Some people can be so rude sometimes but I do find Yahoo Answers to be useful on occasion. Much like how some can trust Wikipedia.

pssst....Dodge pickups are notorious for their poor mileage. Ask any Dodge pickup owner about mileage and you'll find you've picked a poor subject and will most likely get the answer of "I should of bought a Chevrolet or Ford". The others are pretty good choices for a cheap car. My personal favorite is the Yaris if I needed more than 2 for seating capacity or actually needed more room that a Smart has.

Hmm
I thought the cheepest car in america was thew stripped doen nissan Sentra.
not mentioned in the thread about cheepest cars. Not very good answers


Ok now that I have read the why should they be banned, Im doing a research paper thread Im thinking this kid should get a D-

The Word Research does have the word search in it but that does not mean search engine, especialy one as bad as Yahoo. And asking randon folks on the internetfor opinions is not doing research.

Hi Johann

Yes,I'm on Yahoo Answers every day.My realm is "maintenance and repairs" because I'm a long time auto and autobody mechanic. I'll watch for you and maybe connect later.
