Let's bring back our discuss option for news stories.
We don't want to hear the PC crap about someone's feelings getting hurt. That's life!
If Yahoo's top brass is taking the heat, then they should tell those that don't like it "Take a hike, we don't want you!!"

We have freedom of speech but, since it's their website, Y!A has freedom of censorship. They get to make the final decision about what they want their site known for, and whether they want to court the favor of people who believe in a relatively polite debate, or the people who believe that they can say any racist, bigoted, or otherwise obnoxious thing they like and call it freedom of speech.

Thats life in 21st century police state America unfortunately, and it is only going to get worse. Pretty soon the USA will be like Europe where you can't say anything that could be concieved as inflamatory about someones religion, can't express beliefs that could be concieved as being too critical of immigrants.We will have ministers of multiculturalism than make sure everyone is toeing the party line on egalitarianism. Question or even call for scholarly debate on any part of the state religion of the Holocaust and you will face jail. Say a word that offends someone and you could be brought up on hate crime charges.
