That's some epic trolling. Kudos.
He is pushing some people's buttons, but I wouldn't call it trolling. He is giving them what they want.
Best answer provided only 10 of the 15 questions the kid was looking for. Unfortunate that the Iron Law of Prohibition wasn't worked into a potential question for debate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_prohibition Perhaps also the cost burden of enforcement and incarceration on society. And perhaps the problem of the U.S. having a disproportionate amount of it's citizens incarcerated compared to other countries because of nonviolent drug offenders, could have been worked into a question.So here is a student who need questions to ask his debate opposition. The topic is marijuana legalization. The student is for it.
I steer away from most of the homework questions, but this seemed like such a gimme for this kid to really make some good points. I'm also not into all the education, stay-in-school crap, but these kids really are getting a head full of nonsense.

Just some ideas, should the subject come up again.
Yahoo Answers is a semi-forum where users get answers to various life questions: legal, health, career, dating, parenting, pets, etc. The format is a Yahoo user posting a question and other Yahoo users posting an answer. Questioners have the option of choosing a Best Answer out of all the answers.
I frequent the sub-forums Law Enforcement and Military. A lot of students and people in their twenties ask questions because they are interested in being a soldier or cop. The advice I post is probably not what they expect because I post all the problems with police and the military.
The thing I like about Yahoo Answers is that you have a captive audience. The questioner is seeking an answer, so they will read your answer. I've actually gotten a few Best Answers.
I don't know if this actually makes a difference; however, if I learned that some student did not become a cop because he learned the systemic abuse, then that would be gratifying.
My posts are below, under user name Michael. The cops and vets hate me. The vets are not like the ones on Ron Paul forums.
--This high school student wanted to know what being a cop is like. She ended up giving me a Best Answer. Maybe she'll choose another career path.

--This kid is asking about the military. Read the comments. One vet always reports me because he thinks I sock puppet my own answers. The rest of them cuss me out. LOL

By the way, my answers are a little crude, but I've polished the language since then.
