Yahoo probably has people like that working for them.

Simply put: Yahoo!'s abuse system is automated....
Often the tiny Yahoo! staff on answers doesn't have the time to read over the answers so they leave most of it to the users.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the other hand, any idiot can create two yahoo aliases, submit one abuse on the message for each alias, and the message will be knocked off the list and the "abuser" sent a message "your message violates Yahoo! Terms of Service", even if it does not.
So questions are most often deleted on the basis of being "UNCOOL" or "NOT GOOD FOR GOSSIP" rather than GOOD or BAD. And, my guess is, some people think the above questions are good for gossip, even though, I agree, they are downright nasty and written by people who, for example, hate blacks because many blacks are more intelligent than them and they don't like competition.

I was asking myself the same thing about 10 minutes ago when I saw both of them. There are a few others too. Not only do they need to better regulate the posts that are put up, but also the usernames that some people are using. I thought we were civilized people...

I have no idea. Makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I'm sure they will see this question, and make some nasty comments.
What tickles me is they hate me not to my face, and when they do, they cover up with a sheet and call us spooks. Those sheets are what's spooky.
I'm venting a little. Sorry.

its horrible...but it should be the job of good, tolerant, and intelligent people to report them to yahoo. there are too many questions at a time for yahoo to automatically acknowldge it. but it is a disgrace to the human race that people can say and believe things like that

Apparently people found the Thumbs Down button but not the phrase "Report Abuse." Just click it, y'all!

They are too busy removing questions such as:
Do you prefer Madonna or Britney Spears?

it's disgusting to me
how people still think like this.
why are they acting like this?
they need to find something better to do with their time instead of hatin on somebody because of their skin color.
it just makes me sick
what about you?
