I'd probably buy italki and then immediately ban you so that you cannot continue posting pointless non-language related questions.

> "please respect my questions, if you feel they are ridiculous, please do not answer them" Okay, just so that you know, there is a search function in the top right corner. You can use this tool to see if a similar question has been posted before (and how often). It does get frustrating to see the same questions cropping up over and over again.

I think all the people on italki are just want to learn language and make some friends.And anybody has his or her right to ask any kind of question .It is a civilized society now.Please respect others. I think his questions are pretty funny and interesting.If i won the lottery,i would buy a big house for my parents if the prize is that much.If it is not that much,i would just buy a set of underwear for myself.

Ayumi, what you say is correct. There is no (apparent) rule about what can and cannot be posted. However, if people insist on asking silly questions, then they should not be surprised if they get silly answers from time to time. And if you want to ask a question, then you should be prepared to accept whatever answer may come back. Just as there is no rule about what cannot be asked, then is no rule about how you have to answer.

Ayumi, I get your point, but there are lots of websites out there for making friends. Conversely, there are not many language-learning sites. If all kinds of questions and topics are allowed here, then what makes italki different from facebook or bebo?
