Why are hate and violence incitors never banned?

Good question, I guess those who are on the losing end of an argument get all mad and take it out on others the only way they can. I have recieved several violation notices which I reply and argue my side. These people will try using the race card and name calling when they know that they are wrong. They have no other form of defense and they think we will back down. I will not. I am for my country enforcing it's soveriegn laws and policies.

Because radical islam (keep in mind I said radical, and not all of islam) are insane.  I don't want to hear that their culture is different yadda yadda yadda.  No their is no culture that would be sane if it promoted sawing off peoples heads.  They hate.  They arte no different than the nazi.

Although we have free speech in America if our speech incites a riot or if it is reasonable to assume that what you say could incite others to do harm or break the law then there can be legal repercussions.  The reason this so seldom happens though is because it has to be proved that the actions of others were the direct and sole result of the words or actions of another and this can be hard to do.

banning them wouldn't stop people from finding ways to acquire them.\npeople just need to be more responsible, know the dangers of fireworks etc.

NO, they should not be banned. \n\nThat is just plain absurd.

No--1st amendment.  If the radical group breaks the law, then the lawbreakers should be prosecuted according to the law.  It is not against the law to hate--it is against the law to discriminate or hurt people.

Racism and discrimination are weapons of mass distraction used for ages.Two groups are involved in here: low intellectual to be led and high intellectual will be at the top to gain their own goals. It is just an excuse to mask real target with hate. When someone in hate station that someone cannot possibly be rational. So be ware! And good for you to stand against that

I believe it has to do with mental or physical anguish. You just cannot ban someone because you don't like them or have a personal vendetta against them. And yes the laws are different for every state. Contact your legal aid department in your city.

Elton John made a very valid point. However it is not only homosexuals who are singled out for hatred by religious groups. They attack other religions, they are unable to even stop killing people of the same religion who worship in a slightly different form and of course atheists are counted as fair game by everyone. Banning religion looks, on first glance, to be a solution but the history of attempting to ban things paints quite another picture. Look, for example, at America's try at banning alcohol in the Prohibition days - all it did was to force drinking underground and to create the still existent organized crime families. I think that proper education is the only way the yoke of religion will ever be lifted from man's shoulders - but don't hold your breath waiting for it to happen.

Inciting violence, is not free speech. Just as you can't yell fire in a movie house, you can't call for the murder and rape of anyone.

Evidently Yahoo doesn't watch too closely, or they would suspend a whole lotta people for profanity, obscenity, racism, insults, and nude aviators. This also includes violent, threatening posts, and sexual predator's.

I still don't understand why some people feel that violence is warrented or acceptable as a form of protest.  It was a cartoon, sure it was offensive but isn't a violent reaction more so?  Muslims are always complaining about being painted with a broad brush of being violent.  How is this helping to dispurse that stereotype?

Unfortunately, NONE!  Hate has always existed and always will as long as there is ignorance and intolerance.  The heinous attacks committed on 9/11 did not create any new hate crimes.  Rather, hate was issued a blank check that had no limit on spending!\n  \nYes, Arab Muslims were responsible!  Anyone that was involved should face our wrath for that matter.  But not all Arabs and not all Muslims!  Arab/Muslim hatred is nothing new however.  The initial reports following the OK City bombing falsely speculated that 'individuals of Arab descent' were the suspected and responsible perpetrators.  It was unthinkable that a tall, blonde, army vet might have been responsible.\n\nHate crimes have merely been diverted since 9/11.  Although the initial focus was the Arab/Muslim population,  it's expanded and encompassed other groups as well; most notably, gays and immigrants.  \n\nScapegoating and profiling will not solve the hate crime problems.  Education and tolerance might.  That is the key to strength, and not a sign of weakness!  We can and should be a fair and just people.  Unfortunately,  we have let the attacks of 9/11 perpetuate and exacerbate our proclivity for hate.  Eradicating these inclinations deserve a chance!\n\nP.S.  For the record, I lost a friend that worked for and was onboard one of the airlines involved, as well as other friends who worked in the towers.

There is a difference between free speech and inciting a riot.  Free speech also doesn't give one a license to say whatever, whenever.  There still is a responsibility for the words one speaks.  Don't know what promted this question, but I don't have any issue with yahoo's policies governing posting on the site.

People's intolerance and ingorance about things such as religion and other aspects that they know little about. Most hatred comes from ignorance and a lack of understanding and perhaps by eliminating it, peace would be an attainable posibility in a world that is too focused on violence and negativity.

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.
