    The only thing wrong with it is the haters that come here every day and hit the violation button on every question or answer that does not agree with their agenda.

    Nice violation of free speech, uh?

    The Q was tasteless and even more. To insinuate that democrats(especially those serving in wartime) are 'chicken' is ludicrous. To ask such a Q is even moreso.

    Try asking those democrats who served in Korea or Vietnam or WW2 for gawds sake. !!

    Where is your brain ??

    EDIT: 'mr danger' - 'thin skinned' has nothing to do with complete and utter tastelessness in a Q. The insinuation was obvious and WAY 'over the top'. To insult one's party affiliation is one thing, to directly insult democrats for being 'chicken' has utterly no place on Y!A or anywhere else. Countless democrats and no doubt republicans have fought in wars. Were ANY of them 'chicken'.

    The question is out of order to the nth degree. End of discussion !!

    Update: 'mr danger' - point well taken, but let's face it, the Q had to go. Thanks for the update. It holds water with me, but the asker certainly doesn't !!

    You might take a look at the short quiz Y/A put together as far as what is a violation and what is not. They discourage Trolling. The politics section does get a bit rambunctious at times, but they do prefer we stick to their guidelines. We all get violated at times. If you feel it is in error, just appeal it.

    Enjoy!

    I don't know why it was deleted, but this dem served in the USN from '88 to '96. How about you, Chicken?

    Because some people on here only like the concept of the First Amendment and not the necessary give- and- take -and- maybe - piss- some -people- off-in- the process reality of it.

    Sadly we have a raised a generation of people who have been told that being thin-skinned is not only OK but is in fact is the proper way to interact act with your fellow man .Oops Did I say man ? I meant to say" fellow person"

    Update

    Mark B I actually agree with you but we can't have an honest dialogue with each other unless we allow questions like Tony G's to be read and discussed and possibly have an opportunity to tell the Tony G's of the world to stick it where the sun don't shine.

    Chicken like FDR and Wilson, the winners of WWII and WWI?

    Maybe it was deleted because it is completely false!

    Awww, someone violated your terribly important and impressive question.

    You must be hurting bad.

    Maybe if you play with your GI joes for a while the pain will wash away. Pretend you're invading a country and shooting at people. That will make you feel manly and happy again.

    Maybe the flavor of the question didn't taste like chicken.

    Thou shall not kill so who's the real chicken?

    Lots of liberal prefer to simply silence you rather than debate your point. and the "report it" button is right there. Hence the violation.
