Does Google hate America, or does America just want to exploit Google?

"Google consistently ignores patriotic American holidays such as Memorial Day and Veterans Day," WorldNetDaily's editors wrote last October, "but today it acknowledged an accomplishment of the communist Soviet Union, which launched the Sputnik satellite fifty years ago."
Does Google hate America? - By Chris Thompson - Slate Magazine

Stupid Stupid People. There is a big difference between representing a large group of people and providing a unique service to a large group of people. If you undertake to represent a group, one has to come to terms with the fact that as your group grows, so your identity will have to become diluted - eventually to the point where the common denominators within your group of people have become so narrow that you find yourself in a place where nothing can be said or done that will satisfy all of your followers.

On the other hand, if you choose to provide a service to a large group of people, your very distinctiveness and unique identity is what ensures you success.

The fault is not on the side of Google, who obviously see themselves as service providers. The fault, rather is on the side of the many who have behind the back of their "beneficiary", have chosen Google to be their national voice.

Arrogant Pricks.
Ever notice that Google is not confined to the borders of your narcissistic nation? They serve the whole planet. And they are doing a damn fine job at that. Are you now seriously proposing that their success should become the posting board for your narrow-minded propaganda, a trumpet to your petty national preferences? Why? Because their headquarters happen to be located in your country?
