On the weekend I had an interesting experience.

I was at a social gathering for a crowd in their 20's. It was my younger brothers birthday party so I thought I would stick around and see what people in their 20's were up to these days.

While there, I met a guy and his girlfriend, and I over heard them talking about search engines and google. Naturally my interest was tweaked as I rarely get to speak to others in my city who know about google, yahoo or anything else internet for that matter.

After talking to them a bit, I mentioned that I have created high amounts of white hat, content based, websites. ie.. spam

The young fellow then explained that "he was a physicist of some sort and had I ever heard of the Bayesian Theory?" I think that he implied that his organization helps google fight against spam with the Bayesian Theory. (I'm not sure.. the party was loud and there was a lot of background noise. ) He got angry and told me that what I do is the antithesis of what he does. He hates spammers. Then he started to joke about how he doesn't need penis enhancement, or viagra or adult material etc...

I promptly explained that I don't get involved in the adult area of websites.

I held out my hand for a handshake with this young fellow as if to say, peace, we're in the industry etc.. He refused to shake my hand as if I was the devil.

This fellow was pretty angry with me and it quickly turned me off the party atmosphere.

THE POINT:
Here's a young physicist - "moralist" telling me that I'm bad for creating completely legal webpages in high volumes so as to compete with companies who have published way more of the same than myself.

He seems to be vigorously defending google and yahoo and the other search engines for their anti-spam policies.

Morally speaking, both google and yahoo are NOT on the moral high ground. They are businesses who make money from showing content. They display millions of times more content than I do.
You can find what ever you want to with regards to their regular searches, groups, discussions, videos etc.

Morally speaking, both google and yahoo have huge cess pools of garbage that make Sodom and Gomorrah look like saints.

My philosophy is, to each his own.

The point of this post is to not talk about what's right or wrong on search engines. The point of this post is that this young fellow in his youth and zeal, should get his facts straight. If you're going to talk about moral issues, make sure you understand what you're talking about.

He was defending google as some type of great business that was some how god like. My thought was that if google was owned by a church you wouldn't see porn videos, and have access to the worlds most disgusting base of knowledge!!

Just a contrast in thought.
