Gorgeous, might I suggest a box of "Nice n' Easy". It won't hurt.

Edit:
Well I have my conclusions, but If I posted them they will only be reported and deleted.

Why would an atheist respond to the quickee question anyway?
2007-12-16 03:26:01 · update #3
Edit:
Now they are? When they did they delete the other one after 8 hours or something? Probably because of this question. They deleted so what, I am still not impressed.

I see no logic. A woman asked for prayer for a baby dying of cancer..got a violation..A woman asks you to kill a group of people..no violation..Not only no logic..it's insane!

I think its always the same thing that goes on: you'll be reported by those in opposition to your view, or those who simply don't get your 'joke' or rhetoric if you post one. If at any time for example, the Xtians outnumber the atheists then many atheist questions get reported and if vice-versa. Don't let it bug you. Funny some of the people answering this question think its Xtians reporting but to me it would most likely NOT be Christians. Also some sections such as R & S have users that are more sensitive than other sections. Go to Jokes and Riddles and you'll see all sorts of violations but they are more chilled out there, so there's less reporting. Sorry it happened, though.

Because yahoo doesn't have any REAL humans monitoring the questions, they just go by what level a person is on when they report a question or answer. And if you attempt to appeal, you will receive a bunch of nonsense email form letters...not actually getting a response from a human, that will tell you they will look into it, and you never hear from them again...until you've been reported again.

In the one it sounds like the asker is trying to be offensive rather than asking a serious question. It was likely reported as a "rant". In the other it sounds like the asker was trying to be humorous. Since neither was a serious question they might both violate the rules here but it is likely the first one was reported more than the second one due to the nature of the question.

People are not necessarily rational creatures. It is like playing basketball: keep throwing the ball, some of the throws will be baskets.
Now, if you ask me, neither question is worthy of being asked, but I my criterion for censorship would be "hurtfulness" and propensity to incite violence. Even those criterion are difficult to apply. By the way, sea monkeys are shrimp brine. I would think the second question would be more reprehensible, but it seems to spark people's prurient interests, and their lies its lack of social value, but why it lasted so long. Not a logical explanation, but a social one.

Well when I went to church...way back when I was forced to. A friend of mine and her boyfriend...well lets just say they were naughty during a church service and GOT CAUGHT!!!!! Now your question was removed because someone found it threatening for whatever reason. Most likely an intelligent answer to it was the problem. Not your question itself.

People are a@@es and trolls. By the way no on the sea monkeys. Brine shrimp can dry out and come back so its part of a life cycle

It's a faith-strengthening tool provided to Christians for free by Y!A.
By giving you the warm of glow of experiencing persecution that doesn't actually persecute you in anyway, you are made to feel by proxy the suffering of Our Lord as he suffered on the Cross so that you might be Saved and Dieth Not and yadda yadda yadda.
Merry Christmas.

Quickie sounds like cookie. A cookie in the back pew is OK.

*scratching head*
How is that a violation, but this ( http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtXms1r35Pp2zKs9nd843R_sy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071216075509AAWfPUV ) is not?

It is simply the spirit of the antichrist at work in societies around the world. What is good and noble, or what challenges man's wisdom, is seen as evil. What is evil is turning to be a good thing.
