Amazing, inasmuch as I've heard Jews call other Jews, Jews (and worse).

I'm part Scicilian (the old man tells me that's the better part...I won't tell you what Mom says about this) and in fraterinties, the Army, etc. it wasn't unusual for me to be called a WOP.

I'd return the compliment/insult (even with some of my Jew friends) and life went on.

What's the BFD?

I see that google has gone to the trouble of putting in an explanation for 'miserable failure' as well...NOT.

The Apostles Paul, John, Peter, and Jesus himself, are all guilty. All have been quoted using the word "Jew."

I just did a Google on WOP and there are many references to it as a slur for Italians.

Italians can take it? Jews can't?

Not from my experience.

The author is oblivious to the years long struggle to remove unnamed number one result website from the number one Google result from the "jew" query?

I read that Hank (the no-bible-no-answer man) Hangergraf is putting out a series of novels pushing the amillennial heresy, to counter the 'left behind'series.

Writing fiction should be no problem for Hank.

I think the next word to make the Google political correctness list will be "Protestant." I'm not kidding. I've noticed a trend in the past few years where Protestants object to being called Protestants. Anybody else notice that?

First I heard of this. Where can I find info on these novels Hank is putting out? He must have switched position, Hank was not amillennial the last I heard.

Maybe "Evangelical" will be next. That seems to used as a slur these days.

You have missed an important issue here.
The limit on the number of search real engines (currently 3) leads to the potential for the creation of a gatekeeper function.

If the search engines don't index a site, or index it improperly, it effectively is invisible. In addition there is the risk that site way be censored because of political pressure. Google has already made an agreement with China to limit access to sites not sanctioned by the government.

Read my short essay on this topic (and the follow up one on poor searching logic) here:

I didn't ignore anything. That was beyond the scope of what I was covering. Google censoring is nothing new. They started censoring in the US under court order more than a year ago with things like KazaaLite and BitTorrent.

All he need do is play back the answers he gives on his radio show.
