Question

Hands up who thinks we're sad for spending our free time on here?

Answer 1

If it makes us happy, how can we be sad?

Answer 2

I balance the free time I have. The time I spend on here is a low percentage compared to others things I do with my free time. One thing is I value and have a passion for stimulation of the mind, learning and knowledge; which, I find in the process of asking and answering questions on yahoo answers. So for me it is not a waste of time or sad, but an enjoyable activity that I do with my free time.

Answer 3

I am SO HAPPY that I found Yahoo Answers that I don't mind being sad!  Until I found this site I had NO ONE to discuss or debate issues with. I was just about to loose my mind when I found YA.  With all the various topics, subtopics, opportunities to answer, ask, vote and points to gather I think I'm in 7th Heaven.  I have a very busy life, but often feel I'm doing everything for anyone but me.  This is my one release.  I can say what I want, I can challenge myself, I can learn, consider other peoples perspectives, learn from them, share with them and get responses. Being chosen for best answer is just the best!  No, I don't think we're sad being on here one bit!

Answer 4

I dont think its sad, its our own choice. We can still have a life outside of here...

Answer 5

Spreading the word of God is never a waste of time.

Answer 6

No not at all. I think those of us who spend time here have enough mental and spiritual resources in themselves to be happily occupied without the constant OTHER. Plus working all day with a mass of people, I like this time alone with virtual friends who don't badger me with their views/demands/prejudices/self-absorption... So quit feeling guilty folks. Just keep things in proportion, that's all...

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

The Fortune Cookie ♥ says:

you're also the one posting on your free time ASKING if we think we're waisting time.

Good job.

Answer 10

It's  kinda  sad,  but  it's  only  a  sunday  afternoon  and  it's  a  bit  addictive.  When  the  novelty  wears  off  we  can  go  back  to  our  normal  lives.

Answer 11

If spending your free time thinking instead of out consuming is sad, then you need to go shopping.

Answer 12

No.  I am not putting my hand up.  

Because I am happy and I MAKE myself free just to be here.  Otherwise I am busy,  I have other people and responsibilities in my life.   I don't feel the need to go out and socialise.

This is my chance to spend some time with myself through Q & A.  And if we meet other like-minded people here,  its a bonus.

I am happily thankful to Yahoo!!!

Answer 13

2 hands up

Answer 14

I dont spend masses of time on here, but it is useful to get answers and opinions on questions that I have and it makes me feel good to be able to share my knowledge and help others.

Overall, its a good resource to use.

Answer 15

Nothing better to do,most of the time. It IS sad when we DO have better to do.

Answer 16

No hands up from me.

Why should we be labelled sad for hanging out here?

It's quite nice sometimes, especially if there is a lighthearted crowd around.You can get a smile from some of the answers folk give or pass on a bit of wisdom or advice.

You can ask for help with something or just browse around, edit your info, dress your avatar-whatever.I like it here.
