INVADE GOOGLE!

Just shameful. For google- there are no American troops at any time worthy of remembrance.

And yet again at DK. The debate now is... Israel is a "rogue state" and the topic is, why hasn't the US invaded can be found here

Change "I'm feeling lucky" to "I'm feeling sucky".

But don't question their Patriotism...

They could not care less.

Google only remembers "The Great Patriotic War."

I guess Google hit the I'm Feeling Lucky link today.

Ed was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really upset. She told him "Tomorrow morning I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 250 in 6 seconds AND IT HAD BETTER BE THERE."

The next morning Ed got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out of the window and sure enough there was a small box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.

Confused, she put on her robe, ran out on to the driveway and picked up the box.

She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.

Funeral services for Ed have been scheduled for Friday.

It wouldn't be fair to all of the world's citizens to celebrate something as provincial as AmeriKKKa's Memorial Day, D-Day, or anything else to honor (poor, stupid) soldiers that rape, pillage, and kill (because they didn't have any other career options or join up to get their rocks off)).

Oh, come on, Charles. That's Las Meninas, the bestest painting at El Prado in Madrid. Which I have seen, and it's quite impressive.

What would you rather do, pose for a Velasquez painting or get shot up on the beaches of Normandy?

Duh.

If you look at the fine print, there's a little bit of text on the "I'm feeling lucky" button that says:
"...that our leanings and hatred of America haven't been fully disclosed yet!"

History is what we decide it is. /google!

D-Day? What's that?

For what it's worth, Yahoo and Ask don't have anything either, but they don't normally change their logo for holidays, observances, or historic dates.

Apparently D-Day doesn't rate with Google, just as surely as Memorial Day or Veterans Day don't. Curious how that works.

We know that you can come up with respectful logos to honor those who served, died, or fought for freedom.

OT: New evidence of Iranian weapons aid to Mahdi Army:

Mahdi Army uses “flying IEDs” in Baghdad

The explosions in the Sha'ab neighborhood in the Baghdad district of Adhamiyah, which killed 16 civilians and wounded 29 more, have been "misreported," according to the US military. The explosions in the Mahdi Army stronghold were initially reported in the media as a car bomb attack that targeted a police commander. The attack was held up as the largest bombing in Baghdad since mid-March.

But the US military has refuted the reports, saying the explosions were caused by the premature detonation of a Special Groups improvised rocket launching system. The system, which has been described as a flying improvised explosive device, or airborne IED, had received little attention until yesterday’s explosions in Sha’ab.

...What is clear is that the devices are using 107mm rocket charges. The US military said these charges are "of Iranian-manufacture." The lot numbers and dates of manufacture show the rocket casings have been manufactured within the past three years.

Fro Wikipedia:

Quisling, after Norwegian politician Vidkun Quisling, who assisted Nazi Germany to conquer his own country, is a term used to describe traitors and collaborationists. It was most commonly used for fascist political parties and military and paramilitary forces in occupied Allied countries which collaborated with Axis occupiers in World War II, as well as for their members and other collaborators.
That Quisling's name should be applied to denote the whole phenomenon of collaborationism is probably due to the place of Norway on the list of countries occupied by the Third Reich. The Nazis were not interested in Polish collaborationism, because they planned to extirpate the Polish nation completely and resettle Poland with Germans, and Denmark fell within a few hours. Thus, Norway was the first country where local, non-German, fascist parties took part in the conquest of their own country after the start of the War.
In contemporary usage, "Quisling" is synonymous with "traitor", and particularly applied to politicians who appear to favour the interests of other nations or cultures over their own. In American English, the term is less well known than the equivalent phrase "Benedict Arnold".

Google always has a tribute for Chinese New Year and Persian New Year. No tribute to the people who allowed them the freedom they presently enjoy, however.

Google is, unfortunately, consistent in their denigration of the sacrifice of America's military throughout history. This is no accident. No simple case of overlooking recognizing history - it's a clear case of disrespecting those who made the sacrifices that provide Google with the freedom to be the assholes that they are.

I was bemoaning my ill fortune when this little guy on the other side of the fence said, "Why don't you take one lug nut from the other three wheels. That'll get you to town and you can buy new ones."

Brilliant!

I told the guy, "I can't believe someone with your insight and intelligence is locked away in a place like this. I'll speak to the administration and see that you're released."

I turned to get into the car and whammo! the bassard had hit me in the head with a half brick.

The little guy asked plaintively, "You won't forget, will you?"

re: #3 Sharmuta

Just shameful. For google- there are no American troops at any time worthy of remembrance.

yes, yes there are my fellow poster
the troops from Abu Graib

wow, I just gave NBC the name of a "movie of the week"
fuck !
how'd I do that
helping the enemy

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe someone here can help. I'm trying to send Google a note about this offensive decision, but I can't find anything that lets me do this. Their contacts page doesn't seem to have anything that allows us to forward a note to them. I finally used their Investor services link and sent a note "as an investor," but nothing else seems to work. Any ideas?
Thx, Jack

Don't you know that the Allied troops didn't win on DDay. Nancy Pelousi said that if it weren't for the goodwill of the Nazis and Petain Governments WWII would have been a quagmire. So remember the stormtroopers today and send them your regrets that if we only had had the Obamanation in office instead of FDR or Churchill, WWII would have been avoided.

If Google hates the U.S. so much, then they are more than welcome to get the hell out of this country and set up shop in china or spain or hw about France? We know that they are the #1 pusher of worldwide socialism behind the democrats. One world, one mind....right Google?

why is it that whenever i type in a website, google has their little monitoring and logging program that pops up first to see what i'm looking at? I try to avoid Google, but it seems like they go outof their way to bother me at every click.

Google celebrates absurd obsolete painters and communist mayday, but when it comes to remembering fallen soldiers on memorial day and d-day, forget about it. Easy to see where their allegiance lies. GOOD RIDDANCE GOOGLE!

BOYCOTT GOOGLE BOYCOTT YOUTUBE

What search engine is a good alternate?

yahoo at least recognizes the fallen soldiers on memorial day. Much better than the scumbags at Google.

Not with the "Progressives", no. Much too "jingoistic".

It's entirely possible that any reminder of the Second World War may not go over well with Google's masters in Beijing: they really don't want anyone to recall the War because it may remind everyone that Mao and the Chinese Communists sat on their hands from 1937-1945 while the Imperial Japanese Army raped the countryside and beat the Chinese Nationalists to a pulp.

The Chinese would not be happy if Google ran a D-Day pic.

Come on people 1 world, 1 world socalist goverment!

Velasquez wasn't just a painter. He was a Communist radical. So no surprise at Google really.

Internal documents obtained by The Examiner shine new light on MoveOn.org’s “General Betray Us” ad and raise fresh questions about the far-left advocacy group’s misleading statements on the issue and its relationship with Google, a major donor to its political action committee.

Every year on this day I perform the same ritual. After having my morning java fix,I go to the locker and remove the paratrooper model M1 Carbine my great uncle carried with him during the Normandy invasion. I give it a cleaning,whether it needs it or not,and then give a silent thanks to those such as him that gave so much-many giving all,be it on the hell of the beach,or,like him,in the hell of the hedgerows. He came through it all with a minor bullet wound in his left calf,came home,had a great life,passing at age 82. He willed me the M1 and it is one of my most treasured material posessions-one that will only leave my posession "from my dead,cold hands". My thanks to him and all those who fought so that I could have the privilege of growing up knowing liberty and speaking English.

I never use Google...for obvious reasons...never, never, never....

What about all the nice things Hitler did? I'm sure he brought Eva some flowers or something.

Oh, yeah, forgot, that stuff kinda gets overshadowed by his other choices/official policies/life ambitions.

I use Dogpile, which uses Google as one part in a mix. When used through a meta interface, they don´t get much of the personal information that allows them selling adspace beyond anything the gold standard would ever have allowed for. And I don´t understand why a search engine should pretend to be a calendar sheet in the first place. Wikipedia has a fairly complete "this day in history" section if you care, but there may be better ones somewhere. Actually I use the Firefox search tab most of the time, which directly leads me to the results from the respective search engine without ever displaying its main page.

But Diego Velasquez, IS civilization!

re: #153 jackflash

same prob here -- there is no way to send Google feedback directly

I hate that they took their tech leadership and use it to spew politics (left or right wouldn't matter)

that's it -- I'm done

Sadly this is what happens when history is barely taught and respected. For most people alive today, WW2 is as relevant and ancient as Caesar's campaign in Gaul. I graduated high school 1964, and can remember an old Arthur Godfrey show that re-united surviving Civil War veterans in the fifties. The WW1 generation was still young, there were several Indian War and Spanish-American vets still around in the sixties.

To the average young person these events are akin to something out of mythology and boring. Those that were in middle school on 9/11 will be voting this year and too many of them have been taught that violence is immoral and unnecessary, that talk and negotiation is the answer to thugs. We've had it so easy for so long in this country that there are multitudes of people that literally can't imagine such a thing as pure evil or a fight that needs to be fought. Luckily the young people in our armed forces prove that the rot is not universal.

When I first saw this today, I decided it was the last straw, and I will no longer visit/use their site and search engine. I've had enough.

I had the pleasure of live firing an M1 Garand at a target range recently, and I immediately realized why my Dad spoke so highly of the rifle. A truly superb weapon.

Somewhere, under multiple layers of encryption, deep, deep in their archives, I'm confident Google™ has a multitude of candidate logos for celebrating remembering marking September 11, and they are just waiting for the right time. My bet is opening day of the Flight 93 Memorial.

Re #151

I was bemoaning my ill fortune when this little guy on the other side of the fence said, "Why don't you take one lug nut from the other three wheels. That'll get you to town and you can buy new ones."

I've thought about it over the years and it wouldn't work. The lug nuts on the other side are reverse threaded. One side (I don't remember which) has reverse threads so they don't come unscrewed as the car is driven. You could take 2 screws from the other wheel on the same side and drive slowly to the next auto parts shop.

I always have liked that joke though.

Trust Google to be the online Visigoth painting the electronic equivalent to a moustache on a really beautiful piece of art.

I think you meant "Overlord," not "Overload."

Oh, and screw Google, the traitorous bastards.

Las meninas happens to be one of my favorite paintings. But without the Allied invasion of France and victory over tyranny, great art like Velazquez's would have been ultimately purged by a Nazi Reich if it had won. Celebrate D-Day!
