Do you think I am spreading violence and hatred, should my answer be pulled from yahoo answers?

Question

I answered this question: What should be done with terrorist? I said put them in a cage and feed them pigs feet. Now I am really upset that my answer was pulled by yahoo; stating that I am expressing hatred and violence.

What part of my answer was violent or hateful? What about my freedom of speech? It is not like I said to tell them to blow each other up. Look I was at 911 when those damn towers blow up and as an American I think telling terrorist to eat pigs feet is a kind thing to say.

My brother in law is now in Iraq and my husband now worries everyday that he will never see him again. The terrorist has spread their hate throughout the world and I am the one being violent and spreading hatred? I am so angry at the hypocrisy of all this nonsense? I am not interested in what any terrorist person have to say or their war mongrel supporters, I want to know what Americans think about this? )-:

Sharon T. You are scaring me, which is sad, isn't yahoo and American company? You see how bad this is getting, I am in American yet I should be afraid of what I say or write. What is wrong with this picture? Is someone going to come and cut my head off now because I speak my mind? Dog-What do you mean I have to play be the rules? Do you see the questions about our president? Do you see the answers? Regardless of whether or not you agree with the president, should anyone tell me eating pigs’ feet is hatred and violent? How about blowing up thousands of people just for being Americans, If you asked those people that was trapped on 99th floor right before the building collapsed, would they rather eat pigs feet in a cage or die never getting to see their loved ones again, what would you think they would say? What about those fire fighters that just showed up to work that day? What about all those children that will never see their mothers and fathers again?

Answer 1

You're completely right and it is sad that you can't make a comment as simple as "put them in a cage and feed them pigs feet". That comment shows no spreading of hatred or violence. It is actually a rather light comment given the situation. I find it appalling that yahoo, an American company, would pull such a comment. I am both a yahoo share holder and a military member preparing to deploy to Iraq. However, I may not be a yahoo share holder for much longer.

Answer 2

I sypathize with you and understand what you are saying.

I am an american. I've been here forever and the country that my father comes from has been fighting terrorists and sepcifcically muslim terroritsts for decades.

But the fact is that this website and we in general can't have a double standard. You wouldn't appreciate it very much if arabic (non-terrorist) people started spouting anti-american sentiment over the war in Israel. {Yes I know there are people that do this on arabic websites. But we still don't like it.}

I'd recommend that a) get your feelings out. You need a constructive way to do this and this website isn't it. Talk it over with someone. b) focus on what's important. Family & life and the ability to be happy. It's not "important" to battle terrorists on the web. c) find a way that you can help the cause. I do this by putting together care packages for friends & family in the war and by supporting neighbors that have family there.

You've probably already thought of these answers. I'll pray for your family and hope that everyone comes home safe.

Answer 3

No, I don't think you were spreading hate according to your answer. I read more violence and hatred from the teenagers posting and answering questions about so called celebrities that they despise. Some of those ignorant questions and hateful answers should be pulled. God Bless your Brother-in Law and your entire family and I pray he will be back safe and with you all soon.

Answer 4

Well yahoo really is a joke. I'm sure the guys in control hate when people talk bad about terrorism. Sounds like they may actually support them. Which is typical in California. People are just naturally dumb. Oh yea and very liberal too. Yikes!

Answer 5

I don't think your answer was violent or hateful. Ignorant maybe, but not violent or hateful.

BTW, your brother-in-law being in Iraq has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism. However, I hope that God keeps him safe and your husband sees him soon at his homecoming.

Answer 6

im from the uk and i agree with your answer only i would just give them stale bread and rank water! political correctness??? yeah for those it suits! it was probably pulled cos your answer was too close a description to guantanamo bay. terrorists should be given the most severe punishment and we as civilised people should be allowed to discuss it and i dont care if my answer gets pulled at least i have stated my opinion as a citizen of a democratic country.

Answer 7

I feel, the same way.
But no one is going to be happy until this is all over with,when the hell that will be, no one know's!
It is so sad to see all the men and woman that are dieing or have died all already.
Just have to wonder for what!!!!!!!!!!
Every one I know is mad about this and wish it would end for every one.
Saying bad thing's are not going to help any one,just make's it as bad as the one who started it.
Yes we all have a right to say what we feel or think about it,but we all have to be very careful what we say in word's on paper.remember that please.
I am very sure alot of people feel the same way as you, me to,but watch out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God be with us all always.
Take care.
Sharon

Answer 8

Because forcing them to eat pigs feet would be cruel and unusual punishment. It would be a torture of sorts. Just like they kidnap and torture and maim and kill. So, the left-wing zealots that are afraid of offending anyone for any reason reported your answer.

Answer 9

Maybe if you were getting long stroked more you wouldn't be so worried about things. If your brother-in-law is a real man, he'll come home safe. If not, then he's probably being punished for your idiot answers.

Answer 10

I agree with you. I wouldn't have pulled your question; I think it was fair and completely proper. You're spot-on about the hypocrisy with its inherent unfairness. Good for you! You go, girl! Prayer and blessings to your brother, your family and you for your sacrifices.
