Why is yahoo blocking comments to news articles?
Sometimes the Yahoo servers are just busy and that "few minutes" takes much longer, especially if it's a controversial article getting a lot of comments. Suggestion - before submitting your comment, copy it to a Notepad file and save it, along with the web address and note what number comment is currently last. Then go back in 15 minutes or so and look for your comment. Start at the number you noted when you submitted and look forward. If it's really busy, you may have to wade through many pages to find yours. If you can't find it, just copy the text from your saved file and re-submit. Bottom line - you're not being blocked, it's just overwhelmed hardware at Yahoo. Plus - If you were being blocked by Yahoo, they'd send you an email notice giving the reason.

Why doesn't Google Finance or Yahoo! Finance allow option holdings in portfolios?
You can enter holdings information on Yahoo! Finance! As David mentioned, there were some issues when the industry standard symbology for options changed last year. We quickly fixed the issue with 'holdings' portfolios so you can add the number of shares and the price paid and your market value and gain will be automatically calculated. There is still an open issue with 'transaction' portfolios but transaction level details aren't required if you want to track holdings.
Difference between 'current event' and 'news'?
Current events are longer term and planned were news should be a surprise event like a robbery. A current event might something like Los Vegas running out of potable water and what they can do about it. Or Seattle planning to put a tunnel under the city. They have been talking and planning a few years so it really isn't news. An event might be something like this recession where they can run dozens of news stories about the recession. I don't think one child is an event as much as a news story. Current events might be more like the changes in schools from immigration or an increase in drug use or different drugs from a few years ago. While sad a child killing himself isn't really current events like politics or major societal changes. When I was young 50 years ago bullies were much worse nobody made a big deal of it. I was bullied I dealt with it, I don't think I even told my parents because it was my problem. Maybe the story is that kids now are more babies do can't handle the name calling. My dad was named Virgil he was also called Virgin like the boy in the story, he didn't like it but expected it and knew he would live to out grow it. He refused to allow mom to name a son after him so he wasn't teased, but if he has a son teased for his name he would have told him to deal with it.

Why aren't men getting married?
They aren't interested in marriage because: 1. Women have an equal chance of extramarital relationships than men, and can do so much more easily than men. 2. Women may bear children, but if things don't work out they use visitation and custody as mean-azz weapons against their men. 3. Divorce courts are very unfair to men. Therefore, why get married if you know you're going to get dragged through the mud? The playing field is not yet level enough to encourage men to want to marry. Besides, what's the point of marriage? You can't force someone to love you. You can't force them to want to stay. And if you did, they'd resent you. So again, its better to be with someone that wants to be with you, than using a piece of paper to torture that person if things don't work out.
Why aren't people willing to pay significant amounts of money for high quality news content?
Real news is not free. Most free news is in fact secondary news -- news copied from the original source. I used to work for a site that basically rephrased news in a more accessible way (read: dumbed down)... news that real journalists uncovered. It's parasitic. Jack Bennett mentioned NPR as a "good enough quality" source for which one doesn't have to pay. But if you listen to NPR, you should be paying, because their content is not free. They depend on corporate and individual sponsorship. I don't think it would be unreasonable to pay significantly more than the NYT's current subscription price. It's basically an entitlement issue all around. Newspapers like the NYT should not have initially put up content for free. They vastly overestimated the money they would make from online advertising, and now when they want money for content, people get outraged. It's getting kind of circular... people think the free sources are good enough, then refuse to pay for the Times (or whatever paper), then complain that the Times's reporting is no longer cutting edge and thorough... well, they don't have money! The Chicago Tribune has been dramatically cutting its staff and the Houston Chronicle is buying text from content farms. This is what happens when people decide that knowing what goes on in the world isn't worth a premium.
