Are Y/A users representative of society?

Question

or are we all flaky,weird,mentally challenged,sociopaths or general toss pots?

Answer 1

The latter ;-)

Answer 2

I don't think it's representative of society as a whole... but it is a nice way for people of different ages and backgrounds to ask each other questions they'd never ask face to face

Answer 3

Is this a rhetorical question hahaha

It probably is a good representation of society tbh, a lot of people are wankers.

Answer 4

Yes.

Answer 5

Still in need of a holiday?

I wonder the same sometimes, and I think Yahoo might well be representative, but thinking of some particular users here, they aren't representative of people I know. Nevertheless, though we can't really know what people are like from this site there's a good few I've got to like.

Answer 6

well maybe one or two of the above if i'm honest!

Answer 7

Mostly i think that they are, there seems to be a good mixture of all  ages and and educationally sound. Some of the Qs are good, some tongue in cheek, and all  in all it is very entertaining, at times very instructual. Yes a nice balanced cross sectioni belive.

Answer 8

I'd agree with you on two of the tags - sociopaths and toss pots, possibly more, LOL....

I've just read a study on the Internet users in general, and maybe some of its findings could apply to Y!A users as well: women are predominant, and younger women at that. I'd never say that myself, but a random sample would probably confirm it.

We're definitely all representatives of society, because we reflect all its good&bad sides, and even getting away of it all is a statement....

Answer 9

Me myself i am wierd , Mentally challenged and a toss pot !!

Answer 10

Maybe just someone with a few minutes who wants to know what other people are thinking and in the bargain, perhaps we can answer a question that helps.

We are all on this earth trying to be the best we can be.

A kind word now and again is a big boost to some of us.

Answer 11

oi speak for yourself

Answer 12

I think it is mostly young people, so it represents a portion of our society.

Answer 13

All of those and so therefore yes, representative of society!!!!

Answer 14

I hope not there are so many people on here I can't relate to
