I Will Keep Asking Until I Get Some Intelligent Responses From Yahoo. Why Can

Intelligent questions to ask on Nazism or Hitler?

The history teacher (masters degree and all that) has organized a day to ask "everything we ever wanted to know on Nazism or Hitler" he said come prepared with questions. So it would be awesome if you could give me some intelligent questions on Nazism or Hitler that will 1. impress him and 2. Be something he can talk about for a while.

ps (We have studied Hitler for 2 years now)



Thanks so much!

Why is Quora more popular than Yahoo Answers? What elements make it the more popular Q&A site?

A couple of years back, early 2015 I guess, I wanted to know about the basics of big data and its importance in industry.I googled “What is Big data”The first link popped up was Wikipedia - I opened in a new tab and set it aside.The second link was from Yahoo answers. I opened and was looking for some useful information.There were answers like:I was confused, irritated and most of the answers didn’t answer the question.The next link which popped was from Quora.I could find answers like this:Answer was by Balaji Viswanathan (பாலாஜி விஸ்வநாதன்) sir. That is the moment I followed him and read his other answers too! And that was the moment i decided not to refer yahoo answers for anything in future.Unlike Yahoo answers, Why was the answer better?It summed up all the information - technical explanation with real life examplesPictures made it easier for me to connect with answerThe credential “Ran a Big data company” made me believe the answer is from someone trustworthy.Upvotes and comments of appreciation from people in related field made me feel secured about the answerComments were healthy and was debating its future application.So, with no further discussions, Quora is always better than Yahoo answers.

How to have a strong professional phone presence???

Here are some good rules to follow:

Be prepared for the interview - practice some responses to anticipated questions so that you don't hesitate or sound unsure of your suitability for the position

Research before you call - this way, you will have information at hand about the company and this will help your responses and your confidence

Speak up! Speak directly into the phone, and speak clearly. For example, don't say "I wanna" when you mean to say "I wanT To"

Try to make the call in a quiet, nondistracting environment - no tv or radio, etc. so you can concentrate on the questions and provide concise, to-the-point answers.

Don't use "like" like a thousand times. Or 'um' or other nonwords that can make you sound unsure.

Don't use slang

Don't be eating or chewing gum

Smile when you are talking - it actually does make a difference in how your voice projects

Be confident and enthusiastic - I know it's hard, but if you sound like you believe in yourself, others will find it easier to believe too. Use strong confident phrases - "I am a hard worker" rather than "I try to work hard" or "I know that my skills are a good match for the position" rather than "I think I could be a good match" for example

Best of luck!

Multiple part question: 1. Have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11?

1. No.
2. I think President Bush was doing an OUTSTANDING job.
3. N/A.
4. Yes. No.
5. No.

Given some of the political views I have posted on Y!A, it might surprise some people to find out that I refuse to watch either film. Both filmmakers have an obvious agenda, and you can trust neither to be unbiased. It is too easy today to twist facts and edit video to make it say whatever you want - as these two obviously have. I am interested in learning FACTS. My OPINIONS do not need help being shaped from either Michael Moore or Alan Peterson.

The better documentaries about 9/11 have explored both sides of the events while ignoring obvious left and right-wing propaganda. President Bush's response on 9/11 was not perfect; he DID make some mistakes. But he did a lot of things right, too.

KSM (Khalid Sheik Mohammed - that real hairy bastard nabbed in Pakistan a year or so back) has stated in interrogation that al Qaida had planned MORE attacks on the US immediately following 9/11. What al Qaida had NOT expected, however, was President Bush's response. Al Qaida expected a few cruise missiles as an answer, and then life would go on. The Bush Doctrine ("you are either with us or against us") and the military operations that accompanied it totally threw al Qaida for a loop and disrupted any chance they had of launching another operation.

The KSM statement alone shows that President Bush has done his job and saved the lives of THOUSANDS - if not tens or hundreds of thousands - of American lives.

What is the dumbest question or answer you have ever seen on Yahoo Answers?

I actually have a treasure trove of these that I screenshot myself one day when I was bored. Hold on to your butts.This next one isn’t stupid, but look at what category it accidentally got put into—And my two favorites—
