I was not demeaning, or attacking anyones character. I was giving my honest opinion which was very reflective of how the investors don't want to cure cancer because it would make the stock on the overpriced medical treatments go down. Yet somehow we can justify over 300 billion on occupying a foreign nation.
They deleted my answer... apparently nobody is interested in any truth anymore.
Censorship is bull. And if Yahoo Answers is going to clearly sensor a answer given by the public, then Yahoo Answers is bull too.

Who cares about irradiation of cancer when it's a blatant cash cow you can milk till the patients are dead?
Don't be naive.

ideogenet...: In order to attain a solution, you must first admit and identify that there is a problem.

Look, I know a little bit about cancer alright. Pretty much my whole family died from cancer, and guess what they charged the **** out of each and everyone of them. My mother is a good example, the week following her death they gave hey an x-ray and guess what.. even more drugs/treatments.

Doesn't sound like you were answering the question. It sounds like you were making an unsupported accusation (investors don't want to cure cancer) and bringing up unrelated issues (justifying spending on Iraq).
There are plenty of rants masquerading as questions and answers that don't get deleted, so it's hard to argue that there is systemic censorship by Yahoo. The most probable reason your answer got deleted is because Clinton is a VIP that can command that kind of power. I suspect though, that you are downplaying your answer by saying you weren't "demeaning or attacking'. I looked through some of the answers and there are plenty that would go against what Clinton believes (including a couple that mention abortion as a cause for breast cancer).
If you want to voice your opinion then ask your own question.
[edit]
I'm dumb? About what? Censorship? Investors not wanting to cure cancer being an accusation or being unsupported? Or am I dumb because I said Iraq was an unrelated issue? If it's censorship, I don't see this question being deleted and I don't see other conservative answers to that question being deleted. You assert that 'nobody is interested in any truth' - as if you, and only you, know the truth. Saying that investors are out to make a buck by keeping people sick is an accusation. Accusations require support, not simply your demented, emotionally biased assertions. As for Iraq - I don't see the relation. Iraq and breast cancer are both problems that need to be solved - two separate and unrelated problems. We are spending money on both.

We'll see how long your question lasts...
...however, I agree partially with your criticism, but that is where you erred. Your response wasn't topical. Her question asked how do we prevent it, yet you responded, they don't.
Doctors have a different motivation than the pharmaceutical companies. Doctors are medical scientists who want to cure every patient. The doctors that aren't in the pockets of Big Pharma will always be blowing the whistle on treatments that don't work.

Since it was the real Hillary, i imagine your answer did not agree with what she wanted so she had yours removed. Along with many others i would assume too. She's the type of democrat who gives the rest of us a bad name. Don't blame Yahoo for cowtowing to her ... everyone else seems to as well. Besides didn't sh help "invent" the internet? My feeble attempt at humor.

Yes,YA is monitored and censored.
But I don't say anything here that I wouldn't say to anybody's face,and you can take that to the bank.
Your question is asked by many by the way.Those questions "dissappear also."

I don't think Yahoo can delete it. I think the only person who can delete them is the person who asked the question.
Take it up with them :)

I am surprised with some of the nasty things I have actually seen on here! I do not think it is a sham, maybe that was a freak error.

How about you did not follow the guidelines? When they notify you that something was deleted, they tell you why.

don't worry, Yahoo censors all the messages boards also. Very one sided of them.
