She wants me OFF Yahoo Answers! She says there are too many misleading things, out there, especially on the web! Can I blame her for feeling that way?

All the answers on YA are 99% people's opinions without any facts to back it up. I don't blame her one bit. This site is for total entertainment value only.

I think she thinks that there are so many pedos online nowadays that she can't risk you getting snatched up by one while in an internet convo.

Yeah she kinda has a reason to freak out. Everything on here is not 100% fact, and mostly just opinions. So, it's really just for fun.

She's RIGHT!

Did she also take you off of Facebook and MySpace? She should.

Id like to shake her hand for actually stepping up and being a parent since hardly any one wants to be one now adays.

The internet is a dangerous place full of perverts and misinformation. I really don't want my daughter to ever go online. I know she will have to for school and such, but I won't like it.

She probably doesn't want you to view or read improper material and nobody can fault her for that. I think Yahoo Answers is pretty rated G when it comes to what's on the web. People seeking medical advice for total strangers online is odd, but for the most part it's just Q&A. I think most would agree to take the answers with a grain of salt. I think there is a lot worse things online than Yahoo Answers. Very little foul language and for the most part positive answers.

If she thinks computers are evil or the internet is 100% bad stuff, then she's mistaken. The web can be a wonderful place to learn about the world or to listen to music or view masterpeice art from around the world. It's all what you make it. You only visit bad sites, you'll think that's the web and it's not.
