Answer 1

Well, freedom of speech does not mean that you have the right to insult other people !!!

Answer 2

Check again or use the search engine if you didn't answer the question. It probably got bumped to the next page or two since hundreds of thousands of people visits these boards every hour. I've said quit a few things about the true Roman pagan origin of Christmas and about the missing books of the old and new testatment that weren't included in the cannonized books. Those posts are still around for the past few weeks. The only thing that is censored is profanity from what I've seen.

edit: Or the original poster could have deleted the post as the guy above me said. :)

Answer 3

I posted a joke (Catholic) 2 nights ago, it did not contain sex,swearing or blasphemy and got slated by the community except for 3 people as being insulting to religion which it wasn't, I am catholic, I removed it myself.
Since then I have saw religious jokes which I would have considered offencive but not to the extent that I would post a nasty comment or report.
I think that perhaps it is some members of the community who just report abuse have double standards or for the sake of it and it is not Yahoo all the time.
The joke was not that great but I did not expect the nasty comments.
Happy Christmas to everyone.

I'm not so sure they even look at what they delete. Somebody decides to go on a rampage, it's anonymous, and you lose what could be a very good question or answer. The only thing I ever reported was the ad-bots, not real people.

In any case, I wanted a small chest-type freezer so I could make up my own frozen dinners. I have to stay offf the salt. Did you ever look at the salt content in frozen dinners? It's ridiculous. And then there are the "healthy" dinners that cut out fat, and jack the salt up even more! So it would be nice to have the same opportunity everyone else does, to grab something out of the freezer and nuke it.

Answer 5

With freedom comes responsibility, so some remark etc will usually be removed. Ironically, some Daily Express and Mail commemts would probably fall foul of the rules.

Answer 6

This is not an issue of "free speech." Your "right," under the Constitution, is that the government can't dictate what you can or can not say. Yahoo is not the government. You want to play in their house, you have to play by their rules, no matter how ridiculous those rules may be or how uneven the enforcement.

Answer 7

I believe we shouldn't write things in Papers to purposely insult people, but some things i don't are insulting.

if we have freedom of speech please tell me one UK newspaper that showed us the cartoons of who the Muslims believe is a prophet? This is not an attack on Islam but a standard news report.

Monica Alis filming in Brick Lane cancelled. Was not even anything to do with Islam, but Muslims still protested.

A leading opera house called off a production of Mozart's "Idomeneo" because of fear of Muslim protest.

To be honest I'm getting bored of reading books and seeing "controversial" films on Christianity, it is about time these producers and authors plucked up a bit of guts and wrote something about Islam rather than taking the easy and boring way out and writing about Christianity.

Answer 8

Well,I personally say,FREEDOM OF SPEECH LEADS TO OFFENDING RELIGONS AND RACISM.Happend to me on rs2 fourms,when someone had his little 5 min of freedom of speech,then BAM just like that,it was a flame war,The post was "Religions should die" If you heard this posters comment you would want to think freedom of speech is just tooooo tradgic.I belive it should be banned from ALL SITES.Its just too harmful.

Answer 9

Yahoo have no right to delete anything unless they find it offensive, then they have every right to do so as it is their sight to censor what you may say. I agree with yahoo if they censor offensive words...we do not need to go down that road as we can make a point without using profanities.

Answer 10

The main problem is that it was reported by some report happy person, yahoo doesn't bother to check the questions before it deletes them...

Answer 11

Theres no rhyme or reason behind their deleteing I think they do it randomly .They`ve started deleting questions of mine that were resolved over two months ago and i don`t ask anything vile vulgar or deliberatly insulting ,but some people are insulted by anything it`s pathetic .
