Has MyTend's Political Correctness gone to far?
Answer:
hera perhaps Mexico did not approve of that message and demanded it be removed at once
Political correctness is nothing more than censure of freedoms. Welcome to today's America.
Yahoo is run by liberals. This should not surprise you.
I don't understand the illegal alien part. That is what they are by definition of Websters.
******* isnt a nice word.
one time i posted a question about babies n it didnt post unfil later on.
All multimillion dollar corporations are run by liberals! The media, yahoo! Wait... wait just a sec... that's not quite right.
Yahoo I presume, doesn't want to insult or belittle people, they might be going too far with it at times but that is how it is.
Yes.
Political correctness is usually a tool of the ignorant & foolish...
Yahoo has hired a bunch of liberal fools....
In the risk of offending those who provide this forum, sometimes it seems like the PC factor is given a little too much weight. I guess they would rather err on the side of polite safety than risk allowing the potential firestorm that could erupt because someone less informed might take exception to whatever is being said/written about them and protest. Yes, it all is rather sad and sometimes most infuriating but we have become a society ruled by the vocal minority.
Yahoo censors are nothing but brown shirted Nazi who find anything not liberal as offensive
The way Answers works is that it covers up any occurances it finds of words on a "blacklist". This happens automatically, so there is no person deciding whether to cover it up. I wouldn't assign any "political correctness" motivations here because the computer is not smart enough to realize you are talking about a historical military operation rather than using a racial slur. It blindly covers up all occurances of this word.
As for the other Answerers that are complaining about "liberals" running Yahoo, I think the reason Yahoo covers up these words is probably because they could be sued if they allow such content on their site. That's not Yahoo being liberal, that's the people who sue Yahoo being overly PC. Yahoo is just trying to cover their financial backside.
This is also not an issue of freedom of speech either. The freedom of speech amendment to the US Constitution specifically applies to anything that the US government does and any laws it makes. It does not say anything about any rules that private citizens, organizations, or companies make for themselves or their members. Would you complain if a church removed some content promoting devil-worship that someone posted on their website? No, of course not. There are well within their rights to decide what goes onto their own web site. Same thing for Yahoo. Take a look at the community guideliness and terms of services links at the bottom of this page to see what the rules are.
I know what you mean ,try using LaRaza in a question . I tried Operation Wet- back in a question and they blanked it out also asked a question about the Catholic Church's involvement with illegal immigration and they removed it .
You have to learn to reword the question again .
Yes. There is nothing wrong with pointing events out in US History.
"I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it."
Patrick Henry
Obviously "Freedom of Speech" does not apply here. Patrick would not be pleased and neither are most Americans with this political correctness.
Sometimes the truth hurts but it is still the truth. Applying political correctness is an attempt to sweep it under the rug.
History is history. The problem is that some of those missions
were given such names trying to confuse whoever read them. Whenever Yahoo won't let me ask a question I just switch over to my AOL account and ask it there. Operation ******* is a part of history and anyone who wants to read about it
should complain every time some nit wit tries to stop them!!!
Yahoo is located in the P.C. capital of the U.S. where 1 out of 10 people is an illegal alien. That place is California.
Nearly, zero illegal aliens work in California's "electronics and internet sector (California's largest revenue source and export).
This place is run by a bunch of leftist yahoos - hence the site name!
ooooooooo you all are in trouble!!!!!!!! You made a derogatory comment against Yahoo and MyTend. You're gonna get it now. Enjoy your violations.
(And no, I'm not reporting you...I agree with you)
When talking about the operation that Eisenhower implemented back in the 50’, just give a link to the source. History can still be found on the internet as well as within books.
While some may want to ignore history and the positive results to a problem of illegal entry within this country, the fact that it indeed did work is still a valid part of history. A part of history that many would like to see happen again within the United States.
damn right they have. i actually stopped using yahoo as my primary email account and canclled my premium subscription because of it. it's disgusting....
