Why would calling 50% of the population idiots be a violation?!?
Someone posted the statistics on belief in America. 90% believe there is a god, 3% are atheists, and 50% believe in creation. Why would calling those 50% who believe in creation- idiots... be a violation? So if I were to call the small percentage of Young Earth Creationists (who truly believe the Earth is only some 4,000 years old) idiots, how is that wrong? If someone cannot see the scientific evidence right in front of their eyes... that's not my idiotic problem.

You're right. Maybe I should have said it with a 'lol' or a smiley face.

Though I never said "christians are idiots." That is going to far, I admit. But saying that people believe grass is purple is no different. Maybe I should have said stupid?

I don't know if I made it clear enough. I am NOT sorry I called anyone an idiot. Thomas B. - that was a my bad. YEC believe the earth is about 6,000 years old. Some say it is about 4,000 years old because of Noah's supposed flood. Maybe you should do a little research on the YEC and get some 'intelligent.'

Because Yahoo Answers won't tolerate a variety of ideas.
It is the presentation, not the stats or the target, that make it a violation. The community guidelines clearly state that you are not to "Harass, threaten, insult, or behave belligerently towards others." You would have been ok to say those 50% were wrong, but to call them idiots is a direct violation of the rules. Don't worry too much about it, though. It happens to pretty much all of us, especially in this category. But the rules are the rules. You could report someone who said the same thing to you, and they'd get a violation, too. Everyone thinks it just happens to their point-of-view, but if that were true, then only certain groups would be making this complaint, which has been on here over and over again from all sorts of people.
In the beginning earth was formless and void. then the story of Noah who lived to be 17000 years? so if Noah and his sons lived more than 17000 years before the first cleaning Job of GOD then where did you get the number 4000??
Please read some Bible.
Stop listening to fanatic liberal banter against the Creation Theory.
And again Evolution is also just that a theory, it is not called the principal of Evolution.
So show some intelligent and work to resolve this issue, you may win a Nobel prize for this.
Sounds like you have angered someone in that 50% you put down. I wont say that I agree with you or disagree, however I believe its all how you phrase your question most of the time when It comes to violations. Sorry some troll reported you hun. Good Luck.
I don't know. I asked Como estas the other day and some person felt the need to tell me what it meant and that it was Spanish. So I replied, no sh*t. I got a violation and my question got taken down. Yahoo! is really weird about some things.
