Why, then, Yahoo! have so many propaganda of the superstition call ¨astrology¨, which is very different to the natural sciences call ASTRONOMY. How many ¨astrologers¨ works, for instance, in the NASA?- In reality you made a very bad contribution to the educational system.

Astrology is nonsense, of course, but it's FUN nonsense. Just like the fortune cookies at a Chinese restaurant.

I think you make a good point and I personally think Astrology is so much tripe. But, Astrology is (whether we want it to be or not) also an entertainment medium. Heck I even check out my horoscope for a laugh or two from time to time. There is no science to back it up and even it's basis of formulating horoscopes on what sign of the zodiac you were born under is deeply flawed - Example: Since it's inception long, long ago, the zodiac constellations have precessed; that means that if you were born on April 14th you'd be an Aries, however on April 14 Today the sun would no longer be in Aries. So you are actually some other sign.
And of course, I'm sure freedom of speech is part of the reason, but mostly I think that too many otherwise clear-thinking people who like to indulge in it such that it beomes "popular". Unfortunately "Popular" does not mean Correct. I knew some Popular guys and girls in highschool that got elected as class president, cllass vice-president, Secretary, etc.. Of course, their "popularity" (maybe because they were the coolest kids around) did NOT make them right for the job and usually had nothing to do with whether they were qualified for the job.
And, what do organizations do when faced with popular demand?

All technology is a instance of the knowledge used to implement them, so, every technoly is past. Because in the moment you built an instance science already advanced again. Astrology is not a science, therefore it is not based in proof. You can be right to say that Astrology do not contribute to educational system, but you can't prove it, and more, internet is intended to be a free space, everything that is in it, its there because someone needs, if there weren't people interested in astrology I doubt there would be any site about it. Your critic can be extrapolated about everything not scientific so don't be so eager to criticize, if you don't give a ****, don't complain.

Your question is what is know in scientific terms as a fallacy.
You are holding Yahoo responsible because it allows individuals to air their opinions. Yahoo didn't invent astrology and that you decry the "very bad contribution" is nonesense. People choose to believe what they want to believe and there is no law that says that you can only beleive in a "pure" science.

Asstrology is important for the seduction and the kissings of the womans. The womans like the asstrology so learn to read palms and draw out a whorescope on a bar napkin and you are home free.
You can't fight the stars my friend, so why should you even try?
