It seems that they will allow all sorts of anti-conservative, President Bush Bashing - but you try and ask a legitamate question regarding the Democrativ base being comprised of several minority groups instead of one majority group and it is a violation and never gets posted. You ask a question about homosexuality and express your protected view on it and it is removed.
So is Y! Answers biased towards liberals, and if so will they not make it know that Yahoo! is a front for left-wing propaganda? - see if this is in violation...

I am not paranoid at all. I cannot understand why my quesitons have been found in "violation." And I cannot get an answer from Yahoo! on the matter. I feel like user can insult the majority all they want, but you cannot express any negative sentement towards the minority. More Politically Correct BS we are being force fed.

No hate speech what so ever. I feel homosexuality is wrong, its not hate it is my personal belief. I had asked how homosexuality differed from other sexual devancy...biologically speaking.
The other question was a logical assesment of the democratic party being mad eup of a bunch of small special interest groups instead of a single base

You know I am not certain you could determine that from non-postings or deletions. I do know that if two people complain about a posting it most often disappears. If you doubt me try it with two of your identities and see if it does.
As for a liberal bias I find that most people I know who work in high tech have a socialist bent and therefore those who work behind the scene at yahoo answers may be pulling some individual censorship.
I really doubt if there is a corporate policy. I am also quite surprised that posts with physical threats to people in politics continue although I know for a fact that they are reported immediately. Yahoo searches for key words and phrases and when found it is turned over to authorities, which could explain why the postings stay on the board when it is obvious it should be removed.
I would also bet there is a PC policy, that if you use particular names for certain people your post is pulled. Try that one out.

If you're using derogatory terms to describe people (including minorities or homosexuals) then your speech is not protected. Either way, Yahoo is a corporate entity- not a governement one, and is under no obligation to let you spew your message of hate.
But, I say keep talking- you're doing more to help the Anti-Bush campaign than an actual Liberal Media Conspiracy (if there was such a thing) could ever possibly do. Has it occurred to you that you AREN'T the majority anymore?

No The CEO is an Asian they like Republic of's ! Cheap labor & using machine guns to load banana boats is ok with them! So he would be Right-wing conservative pinch-a-penny type! Just questions about what several generational Americans should do to organize against Employers/government/illegals & stopping all forms of Immigration or forms of cheap labor can & do get censored off & delayed!

hardly.
comments that contain hate speech can get removed because hate speech is not protected, no matter who says it against whom.
edit: what exact phrasing was used, as far as words go? because your post may still have been derogatory depending on what exactly was said. that may not have been your intention, but intention and outcome are rarely coincident. You may have violated other TOS as well.

If the questions you're referring to are as ridiculous as the one that equates democrats with terrorists, no wonder they were deleted.

Maybe you should post your sexual preferences on the Lesbian/Gay page here at Yahoo, and it wouldn't be in violation of the TOS rules. Just a thought!

This sounds like anti-gay hatred. I intend to report you and if I don't get my way I'll someone else do it for me. You Gay bashing flag waving, stupid, Christians don't have the right to hate, abuse, and persecute us...and someday you'll get what you deserve.

In my opinion they are. I noticed the answers have an abundance of known left wingers protecting this site.

I've received violation notices too and I'm a liberal. But, what a way to turn it into a conspiracy. :-/
