Two days ago I placed a question on this forum. It has been deleted by Yahoo Answers. Is the mere asking of a question fair and reasonable grounds for deleting it ?

Details of Violation: I'm sure President Bush uses extra large toilet paper...for he's a big enough a******. That goes for Cheney too...and most other politicians in Washington for that matter.

Reason of Violation:Insulting Other Participants :

Hmm...I didn't know Bush, Cheney, etc. were participants? Maybe this Yahoo answers thingy falls under the scope of the NSA program...who knows...

My voice is a deep bass one. (I am the voice of your Windows 2000 feature called "Narrator." Over 5 or 6 months, I recorded words,,,real and NON real,,, at Microsoft. My work is made the model "narrator" uses to read aloud from your screen. See "Programs," --- "accessories" --- "accessibility" --- for Narrator in Windows 2000.)

Having covered many Presidential, Senate, Congressional and state wide campaigns, I am very familiar with political affairs. But have had little luck in getting campaigns to rerspond to my efforts to VOLUNTEER use of my voice, journalism skills, or writing. (I have written speeches, history, and scripts for audio books and live stage. Suggestions?

Also, how can one pull more activists into the streets?

How is it the illegal aliens pulled huge numbers into the streets of America recently (over 1/2 million people?

Why did tons of people fill the streets in theUkrain over the vote fraud, but no one carses about what happened in Ohio in 2004 election and recount (or knows perhaps)?

Why are Americans so apathetic?

Are we better off now, or worse? Are we doing them right? What have we learned about ourselves? How can we improve our world without violence? Can we , as human beings, work together to stop this senseless way of acting?

Not being disrepectful to my City, I love it hear. But would feel a lot better if my Council Tax was put to better use. I would love to start a REVOLUTION to make Glaswegians more PROUD and WILLING to pay for a better City! The problem is that we seem to be unable to reep the benefits of tourism? Is that just me? Are they cleanining our City, making a more pleasant place to stay?

Have YOUR say, and I may start the REVOLUTION we need!

This movie has Rush Limbugh, and some hardcore radical republican hands behind it. Comon boys and girls - this is just a movie - dont take it seriously (ABC is saying its a ficticious - its a lie, in other word) - No matter what - Harry Potter is our next president. So the question is Would you watch? Yes or No>>>

I am a letter carrier, and was working on my route when the news first broke on the radio. First we thought it was a prank, but quickly realized how real it was. I live on Long Island. One carrier raced home because his sister worked in the Towers. She lived, thankfully, but other people I knew didn't. It was a terrible day memorialized in our town's park: I bellieve 12 locals were killed that day. One fireman I knew because he taught my driver safety course about two weeks before. There was another lady who had just come back to work from having a baby. Her brother was a mailman. I also know people from DC, so I was worried on that front. I remember how surreal it was; a mixture of profound grief, relief, and fear. Mail carriers on the island were terrified that day. Just two days before, my wife and I had flown back from St. Louis from my brother's wedding. I complained about the flight, the inconvenieces, etc. I sometimes think about how we, I, take things for granted.

Curious but do not expect too much, but for all the Posers, mantra repeters { Bush Lied/kids died etc...} how much "American History" do you know? If none I don't blame you but I blame the system. I honestly believe if "Americian History" was mandatory from the Mayflower to present and taught with vigor I do not think there would be so many self-discovered people that want to catch the train of pollsters and repete what they hear as if it was un-deniable.The Civil War was more of a test of Linclons resolve to stay the course,, Point being, our teachers be it them or school board,,etc.are NOT teaching your/my kids squat!! Just how they feel about politics which is in the high 80 to low 90 liberal percentile group. Not much balance? Teach you just enough to talk and count money, that way you R easier to handle and since grade school taught bare minium about your roots U just hold on to their thoughts and know it HAS to be right! WRONG! Where have I screwed up? if true what can be done

Imagine that you are a tourist in London, doing all the compulsory Touristy things like drinking warm,flat beer, eating fish&chips out of old newspapers and taking lots of photographs to bore all your friends and family with.

The River Thames is in flood and right before your eyes Tony Blair and Gordon Brown are being swept out to sea. They're going down for the third time and in the space of half a second you realise that you can unsling your camera from its shoulder strap and use the strap to cast out as a lifeline to one, but ONLY one of them. Alternatively you can use the camera to record the event for posterity.

So the question is:
what shutter speed would you use?

The American Dream is social mobility and last year some New Orleans folks were movin' on up, some as far as Utah, but in the UK papers today a report that the top fifth of American households took 50.4% of all income last year, looks like a set-back. When iare the people of the richest, most-powerful nation going to insist that their country looks after its own a little better?
