i am absolutely repulsed and disheartened by the amount of hate and stupidity on these forums.
i think it is extremely unwise on the part of yahoo! to provide a service where people can freely post hate-mongering, violence-promoting messages.
people will always act like idiots under the veil of internet anonymity, this i know. but the fact that people's questions and answers are posted immediately, in large part unmonitered and unregulated, is just a bad idea. most of the ideas promoted in these hateful messages wouldn't even be allowed to exist as a website, so why should the same idea be permitted in this forum?
i have seen more racism, misogyny, bigotry, homophobia and just plain hate here in 2 weeks than i have seen in my entire life. and i've seen some bad stuff.
i'm thoroughly disgusted, yet feel even more strongly now that i should be out there in the world, teaching people about oppression/hate, and how to make the world a more tolerant place.
good-bye!!

Why do you feel the need to post a last message showing your disgust over other people? Just leave. There is good and evil in the world. The one you look at most will be the way you live your life. This is truth. Any situation can be considered good or bad. It will be depending on how you look at it. There are a lot of stupid questions and answers on here. But that what happens when all is open. That's what makes it fair. It is open. You don;t have to answer anything you don't want to answer. You also have the right to leave with your disgust.

I do hope that you will at least read the answers to your question. I will however try by putting a reply to it.
You are so right in what you wrote here. I am ashamed at times that I am even part of the human race after sitting at my computer for a short while answering and asking questions.
Don't know if you are a Christian or not, but if you are you might want to reconsider about leaving. I was about to do the same some months ago and felt the decision I was about to make was wrong. If, through the few words I type into my computer can change the life of someone through the Word of God then I'm doing the Will of God and serving Him well.
Jesus Christ has given all of us who love Him a commission to spread the Word of God throughout the world. He used a parable to explain how its done. The Parable of the Sower. Please read this and I think you will see what I see.
The world today is a vial place. It sicken me to my heart. Yet God has put me here with everyone else that is living right now to witness this final generation that is spoken of in His Word.
Many prophets and people of God from years past would have loved to be part of this time. A special time when Jesus Christ will appear in all of His Glory to set up His 1000 year Reign.
I don't want to miss that. He has a plan for me and He has a plan for you. Please don't give up on the people of this world age. They need you more now than they did a few weeks ago.
Let God let you do His will. A little seed broadcast out in cyber space and into the mind of a sinner might change that person and lead them to Jesus Christ.><>

You are quitter if you leave after two weeks. You have the option to fight bigotism racism and all the rest of the ugly stuff by speaking out, putting the perpetrators to shame (It really bugs them believe me) by reporting them or ignoring the really stupid and immature questions. There are idiots in the world. If good people do not speak out against evil, evil will flourish. Come back and help to make this an enjoyable forum.

I am sorry that you dwell on the negative as there will always be negative in this world. It is up to us to look past all those horrible things you wrote about and see the good. I choose to believe that there is hope and not all of us are bad. I guess what it boils down to is that we are responsible for ourselves .

I am not totally agree with you . there are good and bad things about yahoo answers and they are a lot of jerk people who want to say something just to show their stupid personality or just to do something! but there are also nice people on yahoo answers who wanna help . So I think yahoo answers has its advantage and disadvantage.If you wanna leave ,it is your choice. Good luck in your life.

Tis a shame for it is just a micro-cosm of our society. The internet anonymity issue exaserbates the scope and magnitude. There ARE the people in your everyday life....Pity......

Don't let the door hit you on you way out.
By the way, where is YOUR tolerance for the right of people to freely express their opinions? You must be a Liberal
