Why are people like "themeister05" abusive when questions are asked about countries they do not live in.

Its the internet stupid.  Don't be such a baby.  The internet is a place for people who have no self confidence to make fun of others when they could NEVER do such in real life.  \n\nAs for you get some thicker skin and don't be such a whinner, if you are complaining about people making fun of you on the internet I can't imagine you in real life.

I also get violations for answering these types of questions ... they put a "freedom of speech" forum then they decide who or what questions can be asked .... as long as you have a serious question it deserves an answer .... \nThere are some that are just stupid ... so maybe they're having trouble differenciating between serious and lame??

If they are racist...no they shouldn't be allowed.\n\nI can understand questions that are about learning about one another's cultures. We don't have to be insulting about it.\n\nHaving said that....some people just live and breathe on here to piss people off...like they get off on it or something.

I have no idea why some fairly innocent questions are singled out for immediate removal, and yet some of the most godawful racist spew is allowed to remain. \n\nFor example, this is allowed to remain:\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvmRPel_FqWQyGHqUnaxVXnsy6IX?qid=20061125162054AAvyLsw\n\nBut your question was removed. It seems like some kind of bizarre double standard. . .makes me wonder where the monitors are coming from, literally and metaphorically.

I'm the type of person who truly believes in people respecting the privacy of others, and in minding their own business.\n\nI, too, have read negative comments on various cultures and religions, and some of them are very cruel.  I would  prefer to learn about the activities of others, rather than go with negative thoughts about things which I have no knowledge.\n\nWhat's making it hard for people on this site, is that they are made to feel that they have to "defend themselves" from all the negative, and bigoted questions and answers.

You CAN specify the country/region you want answers from. Unfortunately, many people do not pay attention to that and will answer it from countries or regions other than where you asked to reply.

Why do people on here assume that everybody here is from the same area. Don't you realize that people from all over the world are reading your questions?

Well, it was interesting that I would come across this question in the middle of reading and answering some of the questions today.  My "vent" is that I don't understand why people have to post critical comments to people's questions.  What is the point?  Does this make those people feel "big" in some way?  I find it totally rude, disrespectful, unkind and completely unnecessary!  What's up with that?  Aren't we supposed to be a people of peace cultivation?  No wonder there is so much hatred and war in the world!

Unfortunately there are still people out there that are still racist, they are not used to different things. They do indeed bring back crafts and gifts and I do not understand that either, if they hate the people so much, why visit the country if you're not going to have a positive attitude and a good mood to go with it. I'm British myself, as some of you may say we are moaners because I have come across people on holidays where they are rude to the locals when all they are doing is running around backwards for them to make sure their holiday is as comfortable as possible and there is no pleasing them! I find this frustrating too, and thankfully you can tell everyone else that this Brit is not the same as the rest. I am so friendly to the local people and I appreciate their culture, language and respect their country. I love to travel and yes, some racists are two faced, when they are confronted with someone of power they will hide away and act like the cowards they are! This is pathetic of them and I myself am ashamed that in this day and age, there are still people who are prejudging or stereotyping people of a race or nationality. This just needs to stop because quite frankly it's getting boring!

This is a new regulation on Yahoo, I am surprised you haven't heard about it, it's called the "stupidity-factor of questions asked" You'll get a violation for this, repeat offenders will spend a Day in solitary confinement.

Yeah some people just have to be rude. I think it's because they have no lives or anything better to do. I mean people on here sometimes ask "questionable" questions, but it's set up as a question and answer forum so people can ask what they want and others can choose what they answer. Personally if I come across a question that is even too "questionable" for me, I continue to scroll rather than provide the asker of the question with some snide remark. So to all the people that think someone is asking a question with an obvious answer or that a persons question is dumb, grow up, that's what we're all here for to ask whatever question we want to get feedback, not your useless, ignorant comments. Quit being such smart alecks, you don't know the background of who is on the other end of the computer asking the question. Stop criticizing grammar and spelling and being so condescending. None of us is perfect. All the best.

Someone must have a grudge and are reporting your question and answers. I guess that some stupid people enjoy doing that!

This is universal, and not unique to YA. Some people come here to seek and/or share knowledge, opinion, discussion, and respectful debate. Others abuse freedom of speech to further their own skewed agendas. The wisest route is to remain true to yourself and your beliefs, while keeping an open mind - and either ignore or report anyone that you feel has communicated with you inappropriately. Block emails/senders as needed. Don't respond or engage in any form. As with most things in life - don't sweat the small stuff...and it's all small stuff.

Why dont we all get together and report this guy for abuse. These questions are not a search for knowledge they are statements posing as questions that are only written to disturb and hurt others.

Probably because your name is deliberately offensive, your "questions" are really just attempts to insult and harass people, and you make too much work for them having to deal with all the complaints you get about... well, all of the above.
