Yes. Even though the strict definition of cyberbullying is targeted hateful speech, referring to a particular individual or individuals. However, on WikiAnswers, hate speech about generalized groups is unacceptable.

However, we must be clear in distinguishing hate speech from strong criticism of a group or an idea. Some pointers to differentiate the two include:

  1. Hate Speech generally discusses that a group of people is incapable of behaving properly as opposed to Criticism which generally discusses particular actions being taken as improper.
  2. Hate Speech targets people (who generally are in a certain group or hold a certain ideal) whereas Criticism generally targets ideas or actions.
  3. Hate Speech has as its underlying basis an irrational or fear-based view (and may try to obfuscate this with facially rational arguments) whereas Criticism is based on a rational argument and asserts acceptable evidence.
  4. Hate speech may threaten violence whereas Criticism never does.
  5. Hate speech often uses curses and slurs whereas Criticism is usually couched in strong but non-offensive language.

Do you have a Essay on the bear came over the mountain?

There is a high probability that someone on wikianswers has written an essay on it. That does not mean that they still have it available. If you are asking for someone to write an essay for you then that is not the purpose of wikianswers. Wikianswers answers questions it does not do your home for you. There is a word for that. Cheating.
