Is it lost cause trying to use "answers" as a forum to defend truth, justice and the American Way?

Every drop contributes to make an ocean. Its not a lost cause. People will take u seriously, atleast the ones who asked, even if they dont show. You have impacted their minds n thinking in a way.\nEven I'm not crazy 4 points. Will get there answering only what I know n whats required. Lets do it.

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.

Depends on the time and day.  You get some ardent left wingers posting here as well.  In true form, some conservatives accuse Y! Answers as being controlled by liberals, because they find themselves in the minority.  Same shtick they pull against the "liberal media" despite the popularity of Rush, Faux News, The National Review, and the Washington Times.  Helps them suppress those voices even more so, in an inane attempt to "balance the discourse".\n\nHowever, there are vehement wackos on both sides, and it's easy to get sucked into the rancor when someone asks a particularly loaded, insulting question.

Entitled to say angry things in a forum such as this?  yes... and you know why? b/c this is the United States... and that's why so many people want to come here.. for that freedom... to voice your opinion in anyway.\n\nEntitled to deny citizenship to those who deserve it while american born citizens sponge off welfare?  Apparently so, b/c that's what I see day in and day out.  I want to know exactly WHERE people that quote monetary figures are getting these figures from... b/c I know that some of those figures are NOT true, \n\nEntitled to fight for our country and defend us?  Well... Apparently only the poor and the ones who want citizenships... b/c that is the current stipulation...\n\nEntitled to allow the ones who wash our dishs, cook our food, do our laundry, clean our houses, mow our lawns, and pick our produce to live in constant fear?  Yes, b/c although we all have utilized their services, yet we turn a blind eye to their true peril to have the chance to come to the US... \n\nEntitled in those ways... I suppose yes... Entitled to close their minds to new ideas? yes... unfortunately...\nEntitled to vote? yes.. but do we no...\n\nIt's sooo sad... b/c we as American Citizens are sooo entitled to so many things, yet we do NOT vote, and we do NOT examine the real issues and look at things from the other side before we form opinions... And b/c we're Americans we are also given that freedom to do so....

Good question man.  I decided to sign up on Answers with a legit profile as you suggest.  My intention is to always mean what I say and stand behind it.  The quality of Q and A would certainly be better if everyone came out of the dark.

I hope that you are stuck with arguing in a debate class the losing side of something that is morally indefensable.  Here are some historical sites

No, I get it. People ask a question, and then choose the people who side with their point of view. It happens alot. I tr to honestley choose the answer that actually answered my question, even if I disagree.\n\nSometimes though, ALL the answers avoid the question, (I have one up about remarriage right now, like that) and none of them address the issue, so picking one then is really difficult.

And your question is what?  It seems you made a couple of statements defending a former comment or question, what is the point?\nTry not to waste everyones time spewing trash.

I love it when people resort to ad hominem attacks because they can't conceal their disdain for an entire group of people long enough to ask a question based on more than empty generalizations.\n\n\n\nWere you asking a real question or were you just ranting?

Yes.  Why are your questions constantly spring boards for debate and diatribe-esque responces?  This is Yahoo!Answers.  You might want to try Yahoo!Groups or Yahoo!Chat.

Would that be like "shooting ourselves in the foot?"  We are really trying to find the "logic" in this one.  Nah, it wouldn't be coveted Yahoo points?  \n\nWhat do you hope to accomplish by acting out the very actions you passionately criticize?  What "incite," oops "insight."  --  a case of "Two wrongs DO make a right?" \n\nCount us out!  It will cost the school money!\n\nEdit:  Bad idea.  We will check with Yahoo to see if an account user can change the rules of this forum.  That is pretty strong language you are using there.  And, no, no one here will march;  we participate in constructive efforts regarding current events.\n\nCorrection:  We did not say we didn't like your posts; we said we do not like the APPROACH of your posts.  This approach creates yet another problem, simple.  Your motivation (to show how much MORE impact YOUR leadership can make than the illegals),  appears cavalier and  misguided.  \n\nWe will, however,  pursue TEGID's  constructive post, instead.  He can count us in.

Some people seem to go by the theory that if a lie gets repeated enough, people will believe it.  I think it works.\n\nI have been around here long enough to see moderates get far right or far left, so I am sure that is your theory at work.\n\nStill, what is the cure?  If you put my theory with yours, isn't it compelling that we continue to defend our positions?\n\nMany people may not change their views one iota.  What about the ones who may?

Yes, thank you for pointing that out.\nThis could be a great forum for intelligent debate from both sides, but instead it tends to be more just generalized name calling back and forth.\nLet's use this forum to talk about serious issues and have an intelligent debate, maybe we can learn more about each others views and do some good.

all you idiots tell this person to shut up.... then ramble on about free speech. huh?\n I say yes it would help if you enjoy killing things (sadist). and as for defending My freedom.. by killing other people who also you are trying to 'free' .. you would have to be a nutcase to see the logic in that...

I feel your pain on the issue.\n\nI think a lot of the problem is revolving around the fact that 90% of the people here asking questions are just attempting to start an arguement or cause drama. Which, is not hard to accomplish since 90% of the people answering these questions aren't in it to solve a problem for someone, but to state their own belief only for the purpose of attempting to over-power someone else's belief or establish that they are correct, and only they.\n\nIgnore it. There's nothing you can do to change this. It's a matter of battling stupidity.

If it's a fact, we want facts, if it's a personal question it's hard to win, b/c that person wants to hear other people tell them they're right, not get brow beaten to the other side of their argument.\n\nFrom the categories, I go to, Travel wants a mixture of truth & opinion ie (should I go to Moldova, honestly heck no, but if you're from there, sure why not?)\n\nSociety & Culture is funny b/c even if it's the best written answer if you're fighting a fanatic (Racist, Ethnocentric, Kook etc) you'll still lose.\n\nPolitics at time is looking for good rationale to win.\n\nNews & events just wants a strong opinion with a good sense of humor.\n\nAND MY FAVORITES!!!\nLove & Romance/ Parenting is the WORSE!!! Nobody honestly wants the truth, I have seen questions where women/men have asked, 'MY Man slept with 10 women, 1 man & a goat, should I stay?"  HEEEELLL NO!!  But then the best answer is the one that makes them feel good & stay.  \nOr from parenting, "My child beats up a bunch of kids, should I stop him from doing it?"  Uh... yes. \n\nAll said & done, each question has a reason/rational that when you see it, your response seems so simple, but if you asked, you wouldn't follow a bunch of ideas from people you don't know?  I know I wouldn't... to a point.
