This includes sexism, homophobia, ageism, discrimination in general. Should websites containing hate language and racial slurs be banned? What are your views on regulation?

where do you draw the line? What about porn or those sites that teach you how to make bombs?

The down side of that is aside from the difficulty of regulation,
do we really want to put the PC Police on the Internet? We have
enough of that in the real world. As bad as sexism,bigotry etc.
are,I would rather ignorant people be free to express their beliefs
no matter how deplorable I may find them. Of course,there have
to be some limits-child pornography and propaganda inciting violence should definitely be banned.

I do not agree with banning any sites. Freedom of speech. Many people have died to protect that right and to have that right. Unfortunately some people misuse that right. The again who draws the line on what can be said and not said?

There is a thin line here between this and freedom of speech. There will aways be racism , we just need to learn how to tolerate it.

If we regulate everyone into thinking alike, will Yahoo Answers still have a purpose?

when people make laws prohibiting all the racism, there will always be underground hackers and software makers that will make illegal programs that will enable racist words to be used.

you wont end it on the internet unless you end it in the person itself.
