Question

Why did yahoo remove my question for asking " did you know all humans are homo sapiens?"?

Answer 1

P.C. person.....

Answer 2

Sounds like someone interpreted homo in a socially unacceptable way according to Religous Fundamentalist thinking. l also I have had a question like that removed because it was not interrupted as a real question. In otherwords it is not really seeking an answer.

I say it is a real question and it should be the challenger who has to take a walk on the issue!

Answer 3

geez....these trolls are out of control

Answer 4

lol maybe cause it had the word homo in it

Answer 5

hmmmmm... maybe cause of the word "homo"??

Answer 6

Can you say Liberals?

Answer 7

Check the guidelines under "Stupid Questions".

Answer 8

because it could offend some ppls religion

Answer 9

check your spelling..maybe there is a bad word in there.(swearing)

Answer 10

I bet some auto censoring software caught the word "homo"

Answer 11

They should have done it for being a stupid question, but most likely b/c you put a space in between the word, emphasizing "homo". It's one word.

So actually, it's a doubly stupid question.

Answer 12

i don't know...

You were reported by an ignorant individual

Answer 13

I'm not sure. With all the other dumb questions on here, it's funny they chose yours to remove and not others...

Answer 14

Maybe they are trying to still work out the kinks in the system?!?!

Answer 15

Yahoo is homo sapien phobic. They don't tolerate those "kind" of people on their site. Most of the staff is of the Neanderthal persuasion.

Answer 16

Some southerner thought you were talking dirty.

Answer 17

I hope not, that would mean Yahoo Answers is uneducated and has no idea what that means.  xD

Answer 18

i am not sure why they would do this maybe was mistake cause its here now. take care. and yes i did know this.

Answer 19

Somebody found offensive and reported you.

Answer 20

Who knows why they do what they do. Chances are they didn't know what a homo sapien was.

Answer 21

must have been a glitch or an error

Answer 22

They seem to remove any question that gets flagged without even looking at the question.  I asked one a few days ago that had 22 stars, yet it was still removed...so apparently even 22 people thinking its a good question is meaningless if someone doesn't like it

Answer 23

They were probably hetero sapiens.

Answer 24

my guess is some idiot reported it or, it blocks things with homo in them because its derogatory to homosexuals, idk, just suggestions.

Answer 25

Some one reported you. At least two people. You can send try posting it again. Or ask why they deleted it.

Answer 26

i dunno..

Answer 27

yeah what he said

Answer 28

I'm guessing someone reported you, and I don't think they bother to even read the reports. They just delete anything reported and send a warning. Try it... report something that there is nothing wrong with (and mark it on your watchlist). It will probably be gone within 24 hours.

Answer 29

because thats a comon knowledge answer and a waste of space.

Answer 30

i agree with everyone who says that they removed the question because you could be making the joke calling all people "HOMO-sapiens"... hahaha. i laugh at that. i might use it tomorrow if i get frustrated at people. "did you know that all people are HOMO-sapiens?" ... meaning that all people are g*y.... GET WHAT IM SAYING?? haha i crack myself up!!

Answer 31

because you were simply placing a fact not a question. or it heavily monitors the use of "Homo".
