Compesh is a question and answer (and debate) website, so before you make a debate, you better learn what an assertion is. I suppose you already know what a question is, and that you've typed it in the box. ;)
An assertion, is basically a statement you can make, that is either true or false.
Richer people have better health.
The question for that would be, Do richer people have better health?
And don't forget to make your assertion, match your question.

Yahoo doesn't kill startups. They just don't do any changes with the ones they buy.They just take a hands off approach, letting them do whatever they want. When such startups like Delicious or Flickr are found not to make a profit later on, they are then sold or discarded.

Yahoo is where startups go to die.
