I have been trying to find a new Q&A site that I can ask multiple questions on that allows me to add a description/details of the question like Yahoo Answers does and has the same amount and variety of categories as well.

I would also like to know if there are any Q&A sites that are like Yahoo Answers in the sense that they have a Travel category or an International category in which I can ask a question and get answers from Germans, Poles or even Russians. For example: Yahoo Answers has this category: Travel-Europe - Continental - Russia. I am wondering if there are any Q&A sites like Yahoo Answers that have categories similar to that one.

Reason why I am asking this is because I have gotten tired of Yahoo Answers and for several reasons.

1. My questions have been reported and deleted a lot lately even though I usually put "I DO NOT MEAN TO OFFEND ANYONE WHEN ASKING THIS QUESTION!" at the top of the details of my question.

2. Because of what I stated in #1, any respect that I had for Yahoo Answers in the past is gone now. People are way too sensitive on that website. I asked a question about people and Neanderthal DNA and it got reported and deleted for crying out loud. I mean c'mon!?

3. I would like to explore other Q&A websites in general.

With that being said, can anyone tell me or list me off any Q&A sites that are like Yahoo Answers in the sense that I can ask multiple questions on that allows me to add a description/details of the question like Yahoo Answers does and has the same amount and variety of categories as well and in the sense that they have a Travel category or an International category in which I can ask a question and get answers from Germans, Poles or even Russians? Example being: Yahoo Answers has the category: Travel-Europe - Continental - Russia.

Ask.com - What's Your Question? at one time I believe it was called Jeeves the Butler

Most topics have forums that are dedicated to them, I'm not talking about CD which covers a wide range of topics but entire forums dedicated to much narrower topics e.g a specific model car. If you want a wide range of knowledgeable answers that is where to go.

I really hate it when I google-search in the form of a question, and the only hit I get is a site where somebody asked the same question, and nobody answered it, and a menu link to "See what questions your friends are asking today." (Why isn't there a Vomit Emoticon?) Or all the answers are wrong, because they are from misinformed know-it-alls who are studying that in junor high. I wish there was some way I could pre-set google to automatically filter all those bozo sites. Wiki.answers is probably the absolute worst of the lot. You have to click the big gaudy screeen display to see the answer, and keep clicking through ten pages, if it's a complicated 20-word answer, two words per page., supplemented with a Windows-8-style display of smiling photos of all the fun people who have contributed similar ex-culo factoids/guessoids/duhoids/hemorrhoids.
