[ILUG] Mother of God!

[ILUG] Mother of God!

 > "...something which actually  helps people" ...you could add 'at Google'?

 > "I know Google is in the latter camp" - Cool, and I'm pretty sure 
they're not, ;). I don't think 'helping people' is really a priority for 
them at all...and I bet the shareholders hope it's not, unless that 
means them. But, neither of us can evidence our points of view and 
better than the other, so we can't go around saying how Google is 
'Helping People' or how 'They're not' - you can swing the banner all day 
and I can swing the other one - pointless, but at least more balanced 
than letting this corporate 'brainwashing' continue, (you see, there's 
my opinion again)...:)

It's just whenever someone gets on the 'box with an opinion - someone 
else can do exactly the same. It always seems funny that it's usually 
someone who has something to gain financially, .....lol :)

With Google's position, they could do so many things to 'help 
people'...such a shame they don't take advantage of that. Where are the 
charity buttons on the homepage - donate instantly etc....? But, like I 
said - it's cool for a business to be more interested in money than 
people - I just object when they try to make out they're 'helping' 
anyone other than themselves... if it didn't benefit them financially, 
they wouldn't do it, simple as that. Cool with me, but not 
'helping'.....more like 'trading'.... :)

Respectfully,

Lloyd
