It´s all to do with "political correctness", read political absurdness.
We now live in a world where patriotism is frowned upon, take the George flag for example, it was considered offensive to hang it in support of our boys in the world cup. Father Christmas is also offensive to some people. I´m white British and proud, I grew up in a mixed community with Asians and Africans and am by no means racist, They emigrated to Britain to be apart of our culture, and their diversity enrichens our culture. However try emigrating to India Turkey or any Muslimcountry(I have Muslim friends) and expect them to rearrange their cultural heritage to suit us and see what you get.Most of my friends are from such diverse cultures that it is a pleasure to learn from them but not be taken over by them.
Being British is not about the colour of skin or the God you worship, It´s about pride in a culture and country that embraces the differences not panders to them.
When I was younger, (sounds like the hovis ad) queer meant strange, gay meant happy, and blackboards were boards that were black. We even still had the golliwog on the jam jar, and my Mum watched "The Black and White Minstrel Show" on Saturday night.
Both Jim davison and Lenny Henry were considered funny because humour is raceless.
The answer is probably some anal retentive uptight git with a false sense of correctness tried to weild power and gets a kick out of it !!!!!!!
God Save The Queen and Rule Britannia !!!!!!!!!!!

When Yahoo changed to the new format, some strange things
did happen. I answered four questions, only to be told that the
open questions were no longer open. The other one I answered
was never registered. I reported this to Yahoo since they had
a space at the bottom of the page asking what do you think
about the new format of Yahoo Answers. I also told them that
I started answering only in the USA, because they had not
changed their system. I asked them to kindly fix this site as
the new one was complicated and giving trouble. I speak a few
languages so I started answering in Brazil, same problem. And
today we have gone back to the previous system. Good for them,
they do actually read and take steps to correct when needed.
Do not worry, you are not alone. Continue and have fun.
Cheers - Iain Ritchie.

I left a message in the guest book of an Evangelical church and it was rejected. I live in the Black Country and said so - it was rejected because I used the word Black. I used the right case. It's like saying I helped Jack off a horse, wrong case - different meaning. Your problem is the meaning of words have changed and here in the Black Country where we still speak a kind of Olde English, we understand these words. If I tell some bot to bugger off, bugger meaning anal sex, I'll get away with it. But don't come over qu**r even if you're not well. Your little pussycat may also be banned by the terminally ignorant.

not got politically correct words...........who gives a f**k
is this ur poem or not??
IF
Rudyard Kipling's Verse
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son!
good luk mate!
or is it
if all the world's a stage love?????
wotever!!!!

yeah!
and, why isn't there a place to ask them questions directly?
what?
do they have a staff of one?
and,
why don't they structure this site so we can type comments
to the answers? and, then comments can be added to that comment (and make it so people can be notified when someone makes a comment to their answer)
you know, like a string...
