do you think "yahoo answers" counts as social media? - Orangie_zade - 03-24-2014 10:44 AM
haha, for one of my college classes we can get extra credit on our final exam if we participate in a "social media fast" during lent. this fast includes Facebook/myspace/twitter, Youtube/movies/TV, and texting. It kinda sucks, but I decided to do it because I could use the extra credit and the extra time that it will give me (or atleast should).
So my professor didn't list Yahoo Answers as one of the things we have to fast from....so I started getting on and asking/answering questions with people I don't even know. haha
but, do you think that it is still "social media" therefore, I shouldn't be on it during this fast?

You have discovered that your professor did not provide a full listing of social media sites, and seeing the commonality between Yahoo! Answers and those sites you think you are outside the spirit of the task. Therefore, you should take the appropriate action if you think you are right, not if we think so or agree. Your decision will be correct for you, either way. But if you choose and still think you are cheating, then you have chosen wrong. The whole issue of fasting and Lent is self-control for a purpose, so demonstrate that with or without extra credit. Thus endeth the lesson.
