Why is it that Yahoo puts ****'s on "obscene" words commonly used?

Yeah, I say f u c k that!

Because there are rules for Yahoo Q&A and cussing is not allowed here. Also there are lot of young people coming to Yahoo Q&A. If you were a parent would you want your child seeing stuff like that?!?

the thread of law suits by fanatical christians could be one thing. The fact that the USA has, in it's duality, a pretty victorian view on sex etc is another thing.

Perhaps because there are CHILDREN who see this site? If you can't find a better way than explicatives to express yourself, maybe you should work on expanding your vocabulary.

Do you want your child reading these words? And not everyone uses them daliy

Yes it is foolish. Life has explicit lyrics.

There are way too many kids on here. We need to protect their virgin ears.

because they think it is improper and that there might be children reading the answers

so that the perverts can find the questions easily that they want to answer.

yes it is yahoo and they do it b/c kids go on hea too

cus they dont want to dirty the little kiddies minds
