Didn't the court martial of Lt. Calley for the My Lai massacre of women and children count for anything.  It prepared the present day commanders in Desert Storm to state to their troops "no My Lais--you hear?"  I say, we learned from history and will try to be as civilized in war as much as possible.  Troops in combat will always behave savagely in the heat of the moment, who are we to judge sitting in our comfortable living rooms, not knowing what they're go thru.  I won't judge them, but pray that we're not as inhumane as the enemy.

ask political questions -- name calling and illogical answers

DAMN! And I wanted to answer this question (I'm a moderate).

I take it by reading the other post that repuglicans don't like it. It is just such a shame that they can't answer an honest question with an honest answer. Oh well what can you expect from Bush supporters, all 29 of them that are left.\n\nisn't bree123 special, Ann Coulter is real. LOL

What's the context?\n\nBetter looking? Greater talent? For President? Sucks Donkeys?\n\n\nSometimes I wish we could also rate the questions, because this one is really very poor.

That's a good idea- and some questions, you're right, are so inflamatory ignoring them are better.\n\nBut some questions need to be answered- we wouldn't want silence to be taken as consent...

Maybe apathy.  Maybe defensiveness.  Maybe too many questions.\n\nI tried to answer some guy's question the other day and he got upset that I didn't answer yes or no.\n\nWell, his initial question was not a yes or no question and there were at least 3 questions he was asking at once.  If you ask too many questions, people are generally going to pick either the first or the last thing you said.\n\n(Case in point, read my question here:  http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlYHfr9enEYxTaAQOGFw.9_sy6IX?qid=1006051030349 and then read some of my answers.  It is a highly specific question.  I think I have asked it in a logical progression.  But it's too much information.  People either didn't read all the way to the bottom or it's just more work than they want to put into an answer.  At least two of them gave me the exact answer I asked them to avoid.  It's too many questions.)\n\nIn his case, I actually did address the two questions at the end of his litany.  But it seemed silly to me to answer those first when they were asked last.  Sometimes the question isn't that great.\n\nAs for answering based on opinion or agenda, we only know first hand what our experiences are and what our interpretations are.  I don't know if we are fully capable of answering anything in a completely unbiased way.  Do people go too far and become unwilling to see anyone else's side?  Sure.  But if they perceive the question as "where do you stand?" of course they're going to tell you.  Or if someone asserts their way is the only way, someone is going to feel compelled to point out all the other ways. \n\nSometimes the questions are not questions at all.  Loaded questions are generally statements with a question mark tacked on at the end.  People who ask them, don't really want to know, but people feel compelled to answer them anyway, because they are generally based on what one group  considers to be untrue.\n\nThe higher the stakes or the contention, the more divided people become.  And this is the division as far as I can see:\n\nAtheist's statement:  "you are stupid if you believe in mythology and any belief in God or anyone higher than ourselves is the equivalent of belief in the Easter bunny," or "Christians are too ignorant to understand science and if they were just smarter, they would see that there is no need for God."\n\nChristians' statement:  "your life would be better if you accepted Jesus as your Savior", or "if you don't see the error of your ways, you are going to hell."\n\nI've not been paying enough attention to the other views (agnostics, pagans, wiccans, Jews, Muslims, etc) to voice their "side."  But you get the idea.\n\nI think part of the problem between Theists and atheists is that if science is wielded by the party who is trying to overthrow God, science necessarily cannot be neutral ground.  Theology is not neutral ground.  \n\nI'm not saying that science is the enemy, but it can't answer everything.  Since it is used by atheists to discredit God, it cannot be considered neutral.\n\nSo were do we meet to talk things out?  What could we decide is neutral?

It would depend on the question I think. Most of the questions on these pages are about how great George Bush is, or Clinton got a BJ. Any real problems are ignored, or reported to Yahoo from crying whiners. So I take on myself to find out the facts. I have only one vote, and I am going to use it for the good of our Country. Poverty and inflation isn't what I will be voting for.

I often give quite eloquent,well-thought answers thank you.\n\nWhining about exercising 1st Ammendment rights are we?\n\nI stopped going to church at seventeen though,thanks.\n\n"If Dems ran things we'd still be debating Iraq and half of you would say go while the other half said no and yet no one would take any real side on the matter"\nALREADY IN PROGRESS W/ REPUBLICANS

As always you have the thought provoking questions. I agree with your question and comments along with Monizk and Heartstrings. I have my own opinions but I will not go into them as they are fairly long. \nAs a general rule I don't debate politics and religion or argue with drunks, fools or idiots. Too many of them have lots of experience of spouting ill informed rhetoric.\nI support Bush and what the military is now doing. I don't want Kerry or Clinton representing me. They are of the same mold and are an embarrassment to the people they are supposed to represent. They apologize but are they truly apologetic?

I haven't been offended by any of the questions.  It seems like there are a lot of people asking loaded questions, trying to stir up controversy.  But if we can't handle a little of that, then our free society is in A LOT of trouble.

That would make it tough for you.\n\nWhat makes it tough for us to answer your question is:\n1. You didn't ask a question.\n2. You didn't give us any information about this competition.

Nice rant.....\n\nShould I address all of the fallicies one by one or will it be okay for me to just say that your 'facts' are questionable at best and some are plain wrong.\n\nBut alas, the selective memory and closed mind of liberals is at work again.

OK, I'm asnwering another one of your questions and I think I've figured out the problem.  You're too smart for most of us and your answers are too hard.  You don't get very many answers because we don't know them. \nYes, I'm bored and I'm moving on to another one of your questions.  I won't quit trying yet.

This is your second command to describe. You have to ask questions to get answers.

A dumping grounds for the libs inane rhetoric, maybe, but they all jumped ship on this question, didn't they?\n\nBTW- I see that Mini busted you. Funny how libs swear up and down that you can't string two words together, yet she managed to see right through you anyway.
