Big Brother Google

I HATE google Instant. Its causes my screen to bounce around and coughs up way too much information. I go to google for a search engine not a psychotropic roller coaster of information overload. However that isnt the worst of it. I never realized google search engine was running its own little censorship program. "So we apply the same policies that we always have, whereby we filter for violence, hate, and pornography. As a result, if you're typing for something that may not be appropriate for certain people to see, you won't see results until you press enter."

That doesnt sit well with me. I dont think Google should pick and choose what "may not be appropriate for certain people to see". Even if they are doing this to "protect" children..its the parents place to make that choice not Googles. Now that I know this I'm going to start looking at other search engines.

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
