Why are "ClickandBuy" allowed to get away with ripping people off?
You see "pay with ClickandBuy" option on a website. You buy a "ClickandBuy" voucher from a PayPoint store. You try and use the voucher. It says you cannot use "ClickandBuy" vouchers. ClickandBuy refuse to refund you until you give them passport details and personal info....How is this allowed.....
2 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoWas the Question Time audience hand picked by the BBC ?
Please note that I have also posted this in Current Events.
I once appeared in the Question Time audience - earlier this year in the North East of England. - and when I applied to be part of the show I had to fill in a questionnaire all about my Political views and opinions and was even asked who I would vote for in the next election. I had to disclose if I had any current issues or opinions about current affairs and events.
After that I received a email and a telephone call asking the same type of questions.
This means that the BBC can therefore choose who is in the audience and what their political bias is. It was clear that the London audience was hand picked as a majority anti-labour and anti Nick Griffin BNP audience and this saddens me.
JUST SO EVERYONE KNOWS: I CONDEMN BNP FOR BEING RACIST AND INTOLERANT BUT DO BELIEVE IN DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM TO SPEAK.
Also: each audience member is asked to write down a question before hand and up to 6 are selected prior to recording the show. These people are then taken away to practice their question. So the questions are planned, although the show do say the panel are not told what they are.
Additional Details
I was also asked my ethnicity and my religious beliefs before being given a ticket to participate.

5 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoI am donating the £45.00 I normally pay for my ticket to Newcastle United to charity. Which one ?
This is a genuine question.
I refuse to pay to line the pockets of Mike Ashley, the man who has wrecked NUFC.
I donate to my favourite charity on a regular basis so will donate the price of the ticket I normally get for every game I would have went to.
So, which charity should I donate to.

46 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoWhy are Y/A POINTS important to you ?
We have all done it at some point. The lure of gaining points and getting to the next level has at sometime been an overpowering urge. But eventually it hits us that the points actually do not mean anything and make no difference apart from the changes we find in ourselves by the way we answer questions.
So what do points mean to you.?
I have been typical of the point of this question and now realise that i am in no way a better person because of the amount of points I have. How about you. ?

12 AnswersPolls & Surveys1 decade agoTruthfully, on Yahoo Answers have you ever been rude, sarcastic, abusive or nasty ?
I have noticed a lot of answers where the person answering is rude or similar. Obviously this is not everyone and it is clear the majority of contributors do not answer in this way. However, I have had some rude and nasty comments and answers and fully expect some in reply to this question, I just want to know why some people find it necessary to answer in this way and how others feel it affects their view and enjoyment of this site.
Thanks for reading and I look forward to your answers and opinions.
