Who says that you don't see racism any more?  I see it every day.  As a school teacher our black students are treated differently.  Just today I had a student from the Dominican Republic give a speech to community members.  One she finished and had left, on member of the audience said, "she didn't look Dominican."  Just because she came from Spanish (from Spain for those of you who don't know what that means) background and therefor ended up on in the upper class of the Dominican society she couldn't be Dominican since all Dominican's are "primitive" (quoted form the community member.

It is possible that persons are isolated by artificial intelligence chatbots on Yahoo Chat.\n\nIt is also possible that artificial intelligence chatbots are used in Yahoo Answers.

Ya know, I think people's avatar does affect some people's answers.  It's natural to go by looks and answer accordingly. The other day someone asked a "black person" question and he had a black avatar and I thought, how different would these answers be if the avatar was white?  People just assume that what they see is a replica of what they are answering.   ? Is that what you meant?  That was a very good statement/question. It gives people something to think about, before their little fingers hit the keyboard.

Statistically there are far more white people online in the USA then any other race... so there should be more white jerks on too.  Of course you never know if the messages you see were posted by whites just because they said they were.  I think there are equal numbers of hateful people in all races.

I do think the Internet is contributing to the decline of organized religion.  Before the 'net' the only people who really went to libraries to look in religious texts were people who planned on making it their life's calling.  Now like you said anyone can look at all aspects of it right from their own home.. for most the shine is off.. the mystery is gone.\n\nReligion in some form or another will always exist and I view these changes as a good thing.  Human beings were never meant to be stagnant.. we need to grow and change.  \n\nOf course many religions today will look at this as totally destructive and will contribute to some negative factor that their own religion ordains.

neat thing about the net is that you are at a safe distance to "research".  I thing we are all people watchers.  Whether you are at the mall, Walmart, or on the net, we like to "judge".  But I agree with you, I don't judge people, more, admire.  Some folks ask great questions and then their are smart asses that should be shot for their narrow minded responses and vice verses.  I just plain enjoy interacting with people like you who have real, good thoughts.  I don't think you are judging anymore than anyone else.  Just stay true to your good nature and your heart.

I don't have an answer for your question but I do have a statement , yahoo is worst then it ever was now that there are no user rooms , most user rooms had topics and that is what was discussed in those rooms , now no matter what the topic is all you see are people looking for cyber sex and porn spam

I read one yesterday and was shocked at how many people wrote "I'm not racist, but but I hate..." It made me really sad, usually you see enlightened, intelligent sensitive people (for the most part barring the jokers) then suddenly to see the opposite- a bunch of bigots, with prejudice and hate.\n\nI thought these discusions could help eliminate hatred based on skin colour or where your parents were born. I guess we humans still have further to go than I thought.\n\nI'm English but live in South Africa. Here everyone is working towards overcoming the divides. It seems that in the UK it is more acceptable to a be a racist. Theres so much hatred. I dont want to live like that. But I advocate freedom of speech, and that must aply to everyone. Im going to just read the questions that deal with issues not based on a persons skin colour. \n\nNo you are not alone in your frustration. I just hope peoples attitudes can change for acceptance rather than hate.

It means the not many people showed any interest on the internet.

I don't like that statement! I feel there are plenty of "good" people, and good people to chat with. You just seem to run into the cocky ones. But it's true, everyone does act alittle more cocky and annoying on the internet, than in real person, just because their identity is hidden!

not really, sometimes you find the random nude picture or sex bot.  mostly if you apart of groups.  i didn't start seeing them a lot until i joined the book club group and they would always add themselves.  i like myspace.  it helps me keep in contact with others, and gives me something to do when yahoo answers is boring.  plus i really like the groups.

Yes,\nIt used to be a nice place to exchange files and ideas, but the last time I looked it was just a bunch of spammers.

Um, bored at work.  And it's easier for people to be extreme on the internet.  Noone knows you here.  But I would say the groups are probably younger, more extreme, and somewhat bored.

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.
