What happened to:  "Ask not what your country can do for you..."?

If someone immigrates legally to this country they are Americans and many do serve their nation and economy quite well.  People born here have a sense of entitlement.  It does not help when our goverment encourages people to use welfare, wic and foodstamps with billboard advertising.  People do still serve their nation, just ask anyone who puts on a uniform of any sort. (even the factory workers count here)  Every generation has had their ingrates and there are aways those who counteract their behavior with achievment and generosity.

I got reported for asking 'who else is from SC' said it was solicitation. I just asked a question. Also I told in an answer for someone who wanted a recipe for dog to 'go away'. not sure what they said was wrong with that.

Miss, I am terribly sorry about what the USA did to your country. I was there. What we did was inexcusable. Saying I was ordered to do it is pretty lame. Your country, what I saw of it, was beautiful. The people I met and meet now are resourceful and have been pretty smart. I know the US trades with you now. Take care of your people. Be careful in dealing with the Western world. Do not let the multinationals strip your resources away.

Ya cannot do it ! They are trying a new version. Tell them you don't want/like it, they do ask your opinion.

LEARN FROM THIS, IDIOTS!!!\n\nYou abuse your freedoms, lie about the government and laugh about abuses.\n\nPlease notice that this is not allowed around the world.\n\nStill think it's funny when someone has his rights trampled upon?\n\nFor Yahoo to do business in China, they have to make compromises.  CHINA IS NOT A FREE COUNTRY.\n\nThose are the rules.  Would it be better to have no Internet in China?  Sometimes you have to compromise.

You must have hurt someones feeling.  I have had questions that they have pulled.  The questions were regarding their policies.  Don't bother e-mailing them either..You'll just get a BS mass generated response..I will probably get a violation for this post because it complains about them.  But, whatcha gonna do??  This Q&A thing is addicitve!!

I think you should ask someone who knows, not some people on the internet. What I think is that dual citizenship is not allowed here.

I've said here on more than one occasion people should learn to respect the rights of others to ask anything they want.\nIf they don't like the question they don't need to answer it, but why do they feel they have the right to ask for it to be banned? \nWho made them better people than us that they can judge what is and isn't OK to answer?\n\n\nI'll say it again if you people want censorship and all that is associated with it, have questions banned, if you want freedom of speech you have to take the rough with the smooth and accept that there are people with ideas that you won't like.\n\n\nTo answer the question: I think that given the same circumstances and an even chance there will be no difference in the intelligence of any race. We're all as stupid as each other.\nIf ethnic minorities get a level playing field is a completely different question.

I received an e-mail yesterday, which was apologising for errors made in the censorship. This was from Yahoo UK.\nThey are trying to do something about it. Apparently the address for complaining to when you receive a violation which you think is wrong had an error in it, so many people never received replies to their violation complaints.\nPerhaps it will be better now.

This is actually not a question. It's a partial statement. Just because you put a ? behind it doesn't make it a question. Some people have been getting reported because this is against the YA! community guidelines. However, I will try to respond to your non-question. I believe that this is one of the most reasonable questions? statements? partial statements? to be voiced around this community. I think this could be a very viable OPTION. Of course, not every "illegal" may meet all of the requirements, just like not all Americans meet all of the requirements. If there could be a few more reasonable options in place, this might have a shot at working. \n\nI appreciate the explanation of your plan, no matter how brief it was. It shows actual thought and foresight and a solution for their families as well. It's not just rhetoric and propaganda meant to incite people. Not everyone will agree with this suggestion, as someone has already called you a name because of it but at least it's a viable thought/option.\n\nThe statement from someone that said there would be money required out of your pocket to teach them English shows the amount of ignorance in our culture. If they knew any Mexicans they would know that the majority already speak English, as well, if not better than many Americans. I know not all of them do but if they don't their kids do and they learn it from them. All of my family (aunts, uncles, cousins) including my grandparents spoke English and spoke it very well. There were no communication problems. In fact, every Mexican family I know that came from Mexico speaks English.\n\n\nP.S. I was trying to be nice by informing you that there are others who have reported people for not asking "real questions". I still do not agree that your question was one whether it was in the form of a question or a statement. That's not the issue. The issue is what others might do, not me.\n\nI still find your solution to be a refreshing change. I think it tries to make it a win/win situation for both parties involved. Not everyone thinks outside the box. I believe both sides of the issue need to have more of this sort of thinking.

Perhaps someone reported abuse against the question that it was not a question\nSo people should ask questions in regular question format

Full quote:\n\n"If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy."\n\nFear is a very powerful weapon.  When the people of a community or nation are fearful of an outside force threatening their lives they will give up freedoms for the assurance of safety.  It's always easier to incite fear when the enemy is "not one of us."\n\nAs an example....\n\nSome say this is what George W. Bush did over four years ago after September 11, 2001.  The United States was in shock.  An enemy had entered our country, done great damage to property and killed thousands of people.  Nothing of this magnitude had happened like this since Pearl Harbor.\n\nIn an attempt to cut off any future terrorist attacks the President proposed and Congress passed new laws that made sweeping changes in privacy laws allowing oversight and intrusion hitherto not seen before in the U.S.\n\nGenerally a majority of the American public has supported these limitations.  The danger lies, as Madison pointed out, in making sure that these changes are kept in check.
