About 2 days ago I asked a Question that no one had a problem with and I even got honest answers from people, but since "yahoo" didn't think it was appropiate, they removed it from viewing, if you ask me that's kinda like taking away freedom of speech, which defeats the purpose of asking questions here...
Has this happen to anybody out there?.....

I had one question removed. It was "Why do you hate President Bush so much?" Below it, I said that I would answer everyone, and try to refute their claims. Some people who answered the question told me I was doing an excellent job of arguing my case, using facts, not opinions. I was trying to make people think. Someone reported me for "chatting." Guess they couldn't accept someone being able to make a logical argument.

I agree. But sometimes people mispell bad words to get those questions on and that really annoys me. I think that they offer this service so they can control it. As long as it's not government control, they have the power to do what they wish. So it's not a violation of freedom of speech.
It's like you found this new club and you could set the rules: no girls allowed and you have to pay .25$ in funds every month. You made the club and you set the rules. As long as you aren't the US gov't...you can make any rules you want. See the difference?

I agree despite the nature offensive nature of some questions there should be complete freedom of speech.
I would rather listen to racism, obscenities, and other offensive language than restricting liberties.
If some thoughts are banned eventually all thought will be banned.

It doesn't matter what othe people thought of the question, unfortunately. If it violates the Terms of Service, it will be deleted. Like every public forum, there are rules that need to be followed.

I've had one question removed. I think it was something along the lines of is Israel's government a terrorist organization?. I guess someone from AIPAC is complaining. The scary thing is anything inti-Muslim or anti-Palestinian they have no problem with.

i have had tons of my questions about dealing with my homosexuality removed by the oppressive regime of Yahoo. Why can't I discuss my inner demons about sexual orientation vs. religion freely? The ****** get to discuss their "rap music", the christians get to discuss their "eternal salvation", why can' t i ask questions abotu my love for another mans anus?

I've had some words bleeped out, but considering what words and questions I have seen, I guess it all depends who's watching whom.

Only yours. Obviously they don't like you. They would prefer you take your questions to "Hotmail Answers", or "gmail answers" or even, "AOL Answers". Now go away, and don't ask anymore questions.
