Ok, Why can't i quote our founding fathers?

Question

Why can't i quote them without being reported for abuse?
Since when have their quotations started to be too politically incorrect?
And these are mostly in my answers, sorry if i didn't phrase my earlier question right.

This one here:
When all government, domestic and foreign, in little as in great things, shall be drawn to Washington as the center of all power, it will ... become as venal and oppressive as the government from which we separated." - Thomas Jefferson

gbctrading: It was Voltaire

I've yet to cut and paste anything on Answers.
I think it's because someone didn't agree with my answer, and their question looks less inflammatory when i quote a founding father counter-manding it.

Answer 1

Please continue to quote our founders. Even when I disagree with you, I'll support your right to speak.

But I still think it helps if you do so calmly.

I've also been reported for saying things that liberals didn't agree with, so I know where you're coming from. There are idea censors on both sides.

Answer 2

I heard her mom became an unlawful immigrant....to the Google. properly, so far her mum and dad have been defintely immigrants... "Malkin became born Michelle Marie Maglalang in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania through fact the 1st of two toddlers to Philippine electorate Apolo DeCastro Maglalang, a medical expert in training, and the former Rafaela Perez, a homemaker and schoolteacher.[2][3] Her mum and dad had arrived interior the US earlier that twelve months on an company-subsidized visa.[3][4] After her father won his medical training, the kinfolk moved to the small southern New Jersey city of Absecon, the place she and her youthful brother have been raised interior the Catholic faith.[5][3] Malkin has defined a formative experience while she became in kindergarten: sooner or later, the different toddlers called her a racist call, and he or she went domicile crying. Her mom comforted her and instructed her that, "all of us has prejudice." She has pronounced that she is "ceaselessly grateful" for that tips." Meh, merely heresay, no data.

Answer 3

What quotes of the Founding Fathers gets you reported?

Nothing wrong with that quote and it is a very true statement.

Answer 4

Are your quotes relevant or are you one of those goons who posts 1000 words of cut-n-paste that's totally unrelated to the question at hand? If you've done the latter you deserve to be reported.



Thanks for the clarification. You may just be a victim of the Yahoo gremlins.

Answer 5

As long as you cite your quotations correctly I can't see a problem. I don't worry about being politically correct because I think it's a joke-we shouldn't have to hide our history or change it because other people find it offensive.

Answer 6

Kind of odd isn't it. You can have an avatar of a picture of a mass murderer or sexually explicit, but you better not quote Jefferson or Franklin.

Answer 7

I've been trying for a few days to see who that quote was attributed to...I thought it was one of our founding fathers...but most seem to think it was Voltaire... do you know who you quoted?

In response to your question... I don't think your quote got you reported.

Answer 8

Because people are stupid, they can't stand it when they are demeaned by someone who sounds smarter than them and has the opposite view. I've gotten reported for that many times...

Answer 9

People report things if they don't agree with you. You'd be surprised at the things I've gotten violations for.

Answer 10

Im not of your country.your constitution looks good on paper and in theory it is workable.your founding fathers were idealists but,so what.
