TBDDF asked:


Are you people commenting on politics in this Ask-Answer forum actually college educated in politics and political theory or are you just throwing out your beliefs to see if you get allies? After all, you wouldn’t consult with a roofer if you need electrical work on your home. So now who’s clinging on to what’s comfortable? I’ve got 2 degrees in the subject matter, what qualifies you to be authorities?

For instance, do any feminists refrain from wearing revealing clothing because they thinks it’s demeaning? Inversely, do any feminists WEAR revealing clothing because you feel it’s somehow liberating? Or do you refuse to let your politics affect your fashion choices?

How much does the Council on Foreign Relations really influence policy or politics?

advait0 asked:


Many cry the Council on Foreign Relations is somehow related to conspiracy, but how much does it really and openly influence policy or politics? It seems more like a social club or elite organization to me.

I mean I don’t see them all agreeing, the Director of the ACLU is in the CFR after all.

It would be the perfect mechanism to control the nation as it even has the Pres/Director of the ACLU in it and heads of non-profits, media, academic, etc. However, not all of these people agree at all.

So what does it really do?

Everyday there are hundreds of new questions/opinions that seem to be designed only to insult and infuriate supporters of the opposite party. Is there another section of Yahoo Answers that is more hateful than the politics section?

brickity hussein brack asked:


How many are legitimate sincere people looking for an answer, as opposed to oafs masking political statements in the form of a question like:
Why are liberals lazy? Do Republicans know how evil they are? Why is Obama ashamed of being a racist Muslim? or Who’s a better liar; Bill or Hillary?
I do it all the time and it’s fun, but just wondering what the percentage of questions on YA Politics and Goverment that abide by community guidelines would be.
I’ll say 5%.
