Why is it so many people are still answering the questions That are nothing but rants against the Government?

Every day I see the bash Bush or the anti-war/ anti military questions and they are always the same. We all know that the asker isn't serious and they know they are just trying to get a rise out of people. Aren't we all smart enouh to see that the surge has worked, just by looking at the numbers?Why is it so many people are still answering the questions That are nothing but rants against the Government?
Yes but answering the question is not for the person that asked it-it is for some one who really wants to hear what people's opinions are so the answer is for people that are looking at the answers to see what people think. Only reason I spend time and effort doing it is because if people don't and some one is actually looking at the answers to figure something out all they would get is a one sided rant and might believe it is the truth. I don't think they should get a free ride or ';publicity'; to put out disinformation and untruths disguised as facts without giving a different view point for those people really wanting to know. I am smart enough to know that letting them do that and disguise it as the truth or facts will sway people who are unsure or don't know the facts and are looking so I answer with information and honest data.Why is it so many people are still answering the questions That are nothing but rants against the Government?
';many things he has classified have absolutely nothing to do with the wars';





I find this statement interesting. If it's classified, how do you know it's got nothing to do with the war?





I wasted about an hour looking at an anti-recruiting website that felt that if we just stop providing the military with soldiers, all wars would end and everything would be, like, cool. Somehow I don't think the terrorists are going to do their part and just chill out.
Because as Patriotic Americans we have to speak out against such unpatriotic statements, The politically correct police here will stamp out a post that is PRO- Troops, Pro- Support for our Governments actions, even some joking answers. Have a post that IS Anti- Troops, Anti- Support or not a joke and it will stay etched on the roles of Yahoo Answers forever. The system is flawed but it is the only one we have, the only other option is to forever forget about or boycott Yahoo answers and the Trolls who think they control it. I at this time do not feel that such actions are warranted SO DO NOT think that is what I am asking for. What we should do is answer all TROLLS with kindness, gentle correcting words / statements as much as possible, in other words Kill their Trolling with Kindness.

@dded; And in the interest of political correctness





Happy Holiday everyone.
How dare you use the truth to counter these arguments about the evil military and the meetings Bush must have with the Super Devil!!





True, they will never get it. My personal opinion is that they are so invested in failure they can't stand victory.
2 points in most cases... In many others, they answer such questions because it is the only thing they can think of to do... Anything about the current situation... There are many who disagree with what's going on, but just don't know what else to do about it...





And... I mean absolutely no disrespect to you or our brothers in arms (I'm a disabled veteran; 10 years and a broken back) but the surge hasn't worked too well at all. Not if you count all the falsely imprisoned ';suspects'; and terrorist activity in other countries. All the war has really served to do is damage the American economy, lead to countless deaths of soldiers that shouldn't have been there, lead to the deaths of countless innocent Iraqi civilians, all but destroy one of the oldest civilizations on the planet, lost the trust that previous presidents have worked so hard to build with the rest of the world and cause the world's beacon of freedom and democracy to lose it all to paranoia the patriot act. The unfortunate truth is, if a terrorists job is to spread terror, and the president of the United States of America has increased this due to people's fear that they will be carted off to Guantanamo Bay (or worse) because of the color of their skin, the God that they worship, or other pathetic reason... The terrorists have already won.





I support our troops. I support the troops of every nation that has taken any part in this. I am a soldier, and they are my brothers and sisters. It is not the fact that they are following orders that I have a problem with. My problem comes with the fact that the administration has given the terrorists so much power by taking away so many of our freedoms...





I know my answer may have pissed you off Sergeant, but I would like to extend my appreciation for your service. Thank you.
Sarge,


I can't agree with you more. However, those people who rant and bash America fail to remember that all of their freedoms . . . every last one of them are guaranteed not by the press, or the activist or the blogger or move on .org or code pink or Hillary Clinton. Rather instead all of those freedoms and rights are protected and were won by a U.S. service man or woman with a gun! I know that we have a ton of morons that speak out of the side of their mouths and know nothing of loyalty, combat or what it is like to never have freedom. But, I pray that the majority of Americans know better. And the haters will never acknowledge that the surge is working or that any good will come out of Iraq. Because they are the hate America first crowd.
Modern democracy boils down to rants.





If this were 1776, we would be declaring that whenever a government becomes destructive to the acquisition of civil rights, it is the duty of the people to rebel against it. Then we would kick some ***.
Many answerer's believe there will be a payday in answering some of this nonsense. For my part, it is to relieve boredom or to procrastinate on doing a project.
if you are a bush fan and you think the surge has worked then no you are not smart.
Well this is a free nation and people are going to act like they are still 10 years old. I understand no one would like to grow up but come on people give it a break.





Make your accusations somewhere else.





Or join in the fight to defend this great nation of ours in freedom of speech and make a difference yourself.

I've noticed it too - regardless of their political affiliation of beliefs, some people just come here debate and argue politics.





An answer to a simple question like ';How many US soldiers died this month?'; or ';How does the surge work?'; is never complete unless it has people throwing in some sort of angry opinion.
I can't comment on American politics, but in the UK every man, woman and child has a duty to rant against our corrupt and clumsy bunch of unfairly elected bunch of stinkers who call themselves a government.


Maybe people have just had enough?
Some of us ranter answerer's are not on here everyday.
The reason is quite simple. Because Bsuh is doing a horrible job. I am a conservative and I am reluctantly admitting it.
I know geez....the Generals that oversee the operation in Iraq are way smarter than any punk liberal people that need to grow up and maybe read a history book...ya the surge is working and that's awesome! XD


To bad the left wing is to stupid to see it and they stick to the story that we are getting are asses beat.
ok I am going to take a chance, seems like everytime I try to answer military or political questions, I get blocked. What you need to ask yourself is, If we are ever able to even think about putting an end to this war, and hopefully that will be soon, will we ever be able to pull out?? or will the U.S have a permanent base in Iraq like Korea? If the surge is working what will happen when we start reducing troops? will the chaos return and is all of this worth the lives of so many U.S. Soldiers? and why are we trying so hard to rebuild Iraq ( with schools and hospitals etc; ) when New Orleans is still in ruins 2 years after Katrina? what will we have accomplished in the end? Do you think that one day the people of Iraq will return the favor? for that matter with all of the damage done, do you think anyone will ever help us out, if we should need it??


The fact is people rant because emotions are high on this issue, it has touched the lives of so many. whether or not someone actually knew a Soldier that has died in this war chances are they know someone that did, and a lot of people have completely lost faith in our out of control government
Yeah right!is that all u think is that all we have to do is look at the numbers get real here OK,n did u serve in the military to know that it takes more than looking at the numbers if u did than u no it takes more than that right.
Taiwan is an overseas territory under the jurisdiction of the United States Military Government (USMG). The Republic of China is (1) a subordinate occupying power, beginning Oct. 25, 1945, and (2) a government in exile, beginning mid-December 1949.





By virtue of living in an overseas territory under the jurisdiction of the United States, the Taiwanese people are entitled to fundamental rights under the US Constitution.





If President Bush and Secretary Rice would just announce the truth of all these matters to the American public, we could stop ranting against the US government!!
The problem is , that we were lied to about the war and why we went there .


The American People are smarter then that and they don't like the fact that our President put us in this situation .


Have we caught the people that attacked us ? Have we lost the reason that we sent our troops after them ?


Why did over 7000 Americans die and we have not put anyone on trial for it , and look how fast we caught Saddam and hung him . Not for 9/11 but for something else , WHY , we aren't clear on that , yet !!!
No, I don't think you can say the surge has worked as there has been no resolution in a stabile iraqi government and violence remains very high. But it's always a con who uses the phrases like ';Can't we all agree'; or ';Aren't we all smart enough to see'; when promoting their lies and garbage.
The surge aside, this administration has over-stepped its bounds and our Congress has failed to address it. Part of the job of congress is to protect the adherence to the Constitution. This administration has made everything secret and therefore open to suspicion. I realize we are at war, but many things he has classified have absolutely nothing to do with the wars. He has removed transparency from our government. Only if you don't understand the basics that our government is founded upon would you not find that alarming to say the least.
About this rant, the surge, its a step in the right direction but obviously...you put more police on the streets...crime will drop.





Will the police always be around and if not then what will happen?
