I have given some top answers in my time and I know others here have to - and we've all had our fair share of deletions - and put up with it.

I am now past the point of giving -

1. Way too many stupid questions are left in situ -

2. way too many lazy questions where the answer is already in Wiki -

3. Answers refuse re-categorise questions in the wrong category and

4. Too many non offensive answers get reported and removed in an instant.

5. A completely ineffective apeal system - that shouldn't be needed if they read before deletion.

I had an answer removed that corrected a question so it read as English. before I completed additional edit somebody reported my answer- I appealed - the apeal link actually contained the full answer - answering all 3 sub questions asked - something nobody else did and yet I lost the appeal with a 9 point slap - like I care.

What I do care about is real answers NOT selective filtering.

Bye bye answers. Anybody else had enough?

I just had an answer deleted as a Violation because it was not specifically an answer - just a commentary. Fair doos somebody was upset - the reason was I thought I knew the answer - but then I read the details and realised I didn't know - and so I said so.

"Violation Reason:Not a Question or Answer" Ooops on me.

I'm not beefed about this per se - BUT do you, the membership, agree that the law of this forum is that all non-questions must be reported as Violations - e.g. those statements that people make with a ? at the end.

And all answers which do not (In somebody's opionion) meet the definition of an answer must also be reported?

Yes or No will do and maybe a reason. Any other answer will not of course be answering the question - e.g "dunno" is not an answer to a Y/N question it is a response.

The media keeps slapping MPs, Ministers and Secretaries for departmental c0ckups - but you can't blame them all the time - not for security breaches and the like - Surely It's time somebody started to sack the lifers in cushy civil service roles.

In my experience there are a lot of good hard working peeps across government departments and Ministries but quite frankly they are outnumbered by dead-wood.

Who thinks it's time we stopped handing over our taxes to these numties and the government took on the last bastion of union strength and sacked the lazy and the useless - senior, middle rank and junior civil servants? They work for us but we don't appear to be able to sack them. And yes if we do sack they will go on strike - but hey they are the only ones with a safe job and a safe pension in this land - time they realised they need to earn those benefits.

Or is it really all the fault of Ministers for not overseeing the addressing of every letter and e-mail?

Is it a double or single irony that an answer to -

"If you could change only 1 thing in your life, what would it be?" said

"Answering this question."

and that answer was then deleted as a violation and therefore that 1 thing in life was (in part) changed.

How cool is that?

And does it count as a retrospective change in my life. So I should thank the violaotion reporter person for changing my life :)

Fess up - your sense of irony humbles me - bonus 10pts for thee :@

Wars end when one side says "OK we lost where do we sign, who wants to take our surrender?" - either a conditional treaty or an unconditional surrender is agreed..

So if the 'West' decides it's losing who does Bush surrender too - who owns the concept of terror - and if as the White House say "were winning"- how soon will terror come out of its caves and surrender and how is that treaty enforced on a cellular and multi-faceted enemy?

Do we ask each and every enemy to surrender - what if some say "no you got the wrong guy I'm not terrorism".

How on earth does an 'ism' surrender?

Call it Learning difficulties (and special education ) - that way we'll get less loons posting questions about PhDs, careers as police officers, diary book tittles, english tuition as a foreign language, project managers etc.

Anybody else wanna vote on this -then star the question - get its profile raised, cheers.

This is the first time two Atlantic hurricanes have ever made landfall at Category 5 strength in the same season - ever.

There have only been 3 previous seasons with two category 5s guess what 2003 was one of them

The season is s'posed to start 1june - Subtropical Storm Andrea formed on May 9, staring the season 3 weeks early.

The season is s'posed to end 30Nov - can I have guestimate bets for storms in Dec and Jan - give me a probability and quantity?

Just to let you know

Tropical Storm Zeta from the 2005 season, continued through early January, only the second time on record that had happened. Zeta was the longest-lived January tropical cyclone in Atlantic basin history.

and in the 2003 season -Tropical Storm Ana was the first Atlantic tropical storm on record to form in April. and Tropical Storms Odette and Peter, made 2003 the first recorded time two Atlantic tropical storms formed in December.

I want to take the local natives out for food and beer one night next week - pref NOT friday - and sneak some dancing in - needs to be central london: waterloo, victoria, westminster, LSquare, Covent Garden etc

Anybody know of somewhere

So the US Gov denies GW - but the penatgon asks and is given money in readiness for GW conflicts as land and water are fought over and mass migration occurs.

Stupid questions such as who was xyz or what is thing ABC - ,acronymn SAP, or what's the meaning of the word blahdeblah etc.

Don't these people know about google, wikipediea, and dictionaries.

If you need an answer quick and want to trust it you should go to proper reference material.

If you want a set of opinions and can wait a while - come to Answers.

My questions is why are so many people too lazy to look ? Is it that they can be bothered but simply want the attention? Is it that they truely don't know how / where to look? if so is it worth even giving them the answer as it's most likely that they wouldn;t know what to do with it.

I am interested in your opinions - as a kind of social straw poll.

Many Mythogolgies were once active religions.

A religion is a set of beliefs and practices generally held by a community, involving adherence to codified beliefs and rituals and study of ancestral or cultural traditions, writings, history, and mythology, as well as personal faith and mystic experience. The term "religion" refers to both the personal practices related to communal faith and to group rituals and communication stemming from shared conviction.

Religions are loaded with stories / myths.

Many mythological stories are the residue of once living now dead relegions e.g. Ancient Greek Religion = Sum of Greek Myths + adherents and practicioners

Religion requires a living congregation - Myth is the echo of the religion.

What if a religion had no stories of belief but was just a practice? Is it still religion, when and if it dies out it leaves no myth behind?

Should these two 'Ask' categories be merged? Or renamed, historic and contemporary religion.

So she uses a racial word - one on one - as a bit od psuedo lesbian sparring whilst dancing - and Apologies but stil they throw her out.

Yet black people use the term ****** all the time.

Have we gone PC mad.

Help - every time I boot up my Viao the audio driver is missing - so I drop into the driver directory - and run set up on the audio driver- yaah everything now works - reboot and the dang thing's gone again.

Help!

We've taken a short 2 centuries to release what nature took 100million year of more to remove from the atmosphere and yet we are prepared to say -"wasn't me, it was like that when I found it" I wonder what the easter islanders blammed for the loss of all their farms and mass starvation- nothing to do with cutting down all their trees?

If the nay-sayers could also answer by offering some measure of recompense they would give the rest of us trying to do something when the pain becomes obvious to them I'd much appreciate it.

sort of - you can leave me out of the bunker - or it's OK take my air-con away - or yup sure no need to give my kids any of that food aid as I helped cause all this by taking 3 international holidays a year.
