i tend to agree with you guys. I dont really care about the ratings but i feel make some good points without demeaning anyone or making stereotypes. So i read what i wrote and i think it sounds thoughtfull and intelligent i mean i have had alot of my questions removed for asking things like " Should foreign nationals be allowed to come here illegally and protest the laws the broke and wave thier flag" it just seems silly to me

You may not be a racist, but answering a question emotionally can make you sound like one.
If a question is obviously intended to bait or goad people you should move on to another question or try to lower the noise level by answering like an intelligent person. Emotion and passion have their place--I suspect Yahoo Answers is not one of them.

yeah, I think because of some people who have abused this section has now made any conversation regarding illegal immigrants not acceptable. I think that expressing our views without promoting violence and racism is a good way of getting ideas out there to find solutions to some of our existing problems. It's too bad when the lack of intelligence is present people can only then resort to promoting hatred and violence instead of ideas and any positive contributions. Neanderthals.

In this place if you make sense and they give you a bad rating that means they are afraid of your answer and know it to be the truth. Take it as a sign of reverence.

It is a passionate subject which brings out the passions of people regardless of their position--pro or con
for some its not about WHO, WHY or Where they came from it is that THEY CHOSE to break US entry laws to full fill THEIR need or desire...
for some it's about a desire to get their relatives/friends etc
or its about a job so they can send $$ home

Please don't take it personal. Don't worry, some times, people on the forum don't understand the real issue, behind the question and they rate the question, just for points and/or fun. You might have seen plus rating as well.

I don't worry about bad ratings or points, I just try to learn what other people think and to express my political views... Isn't that what we come here for?
