  • "Would Mexican illegals be more tolerable if they spoke English (instead of that hideous language of theirs), had fairer complexions, and weren't papists?" http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1821988/?page=1& I was being sarcastic at the bigots. "Will any more teabaggers bring loaded guns to any other gatherings where Obama's at so they can re-sap the Tree of Liberty with the blood of its patriots and tyrants?" http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1821967/date_desc More sarcasm. These questions seem to confirm that AB, unlike Yahoo! Answers, is a uniligual site. دریک زبان غیرازانگلیسی ØŸ Answerbag آن اجازه دادکه یک سوال در Is ( In فارسی ) http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1712700 (en Esperanto) ĝi estas rajtis demandad en Answerbag en lingvo krom La angla? http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1712669 (auf Deutsch) Ist es erlaubt, eine Frage in Answerbag in einer anderen Sprache als Englisch stellen? http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1712667 (en français) Est-il permis de poser une question dans Answerbag dans une langue autre que l'anglais? http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1712666 (en español) ¿Está permitido hacer una pregunta en Answerbag en un idioma distinto del Inglés? http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1712665 " 'KHAMENEI UNLEASHES GESTAPO BASIJI THUGS ON PEACEFUL CROWD!!' What do you think Mr. Jameson?" http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1579130 I placed this in the Home » Categories » Hobbies » Comic books » Spider-Man How would one take offence? "What if I turned a pig's head towards Mecca, invoked the name of Allah, and then slit its throat?" http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1579040 Seems that Yahoo! Answers was more tolerant of this one than YA (check the links within) "Neda Agha-Soltan, Marwa El-Sherbini, Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Karl Malden, Arturo Gatti, Billy Mays, Steve McNair, David Carradine, Robert McNamara, Ed McMahon, and Martin Streek." http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1576803 It seems there were a lot of people dying that time and comments were implicitly illicited. "What's the difference (besides the obvious) in conversational and educational questions? Are either prejudiced?" http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1491013 There was a subtle difference in the question I asked, but a difference nonetheless. How are Dorothy and Eric doing these days? http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1490903 Home » Categories » Health & Fitness » Aging Again, if you check the links, you'll find more tolerance--and humour--at Yahoo! Answers. Note I emailed AB about the first few removed questions, but a few months later, I got no response. Even Yahoo! Answers gives an automated one. As for my multilingual questions, I asked this question, but with limited responses: "Is Answerbag an "English only" site? (Even Yahoo! Answers has its variations)" http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1712742 It seems that I jepardized a question by Captain Harley by answering it. Should I refrain from answering anymore of his questions lest I jepardize them? (sheesh) "I expalined to a Muslim friend what my coffee was like and how I made it. He threatened to declare Jihad against it! Should I be afraid?" http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/1807852/date_desc
  • Wow, are you serious? 12 questions of yours were flagged? I have to check into this and see why. I'll be back shortly. +4
  • I counted 10 that I would have flagged. By the way, if you love Yahoo! answers so much, why are you here? Nobody is forcing you to post. As a matter of fact, it's junk like this that makes me avoid Yahoo! like the plague.
  • Here's my opinion: 1. Mexican illegals: - Yes it was deserved, sarcasm was very hard to read in that one. 2. Teabaggers: - See above. 3-7. Foreign language Q's: - It may sound drastic to some, but I have to agree with the flaggings. It is ok to place words or phrases in another language but within context (for example, in the "Learning Languages" category) Them being completely in another language will merit a flag. 8. "Jameson": - Amusing Q. I wouldn't have flagged it. 9. Mecca: - What if... (I can understand it being flagged) 10. Deceased people: - Looks more like an answer than a question, this isn't "Jeopardy" ; ) 11. Duplicate: - Just slightly different. Judgment call, I tend to agree. 12. Dorothy & Eric : Yes, it's nonsense, not even a clue in the category.
