Will Google Notice It's Christmas?
Free Republic ^ | 12/16/2015 | Mr.K

IT is 10 days until christmas. Will Google notice and have a special Christmas logo? Or a non-denominational "Happy Holiday" OR will they do what they did on Easter instead of honoring the day of the Resurrection of Christ they used someone more important - Cesar Chavez?

Oh, they’ll have a few sticks of holly and a Santa and maybe a baby Algore, lying in a manger.

They will probably recognize Christmas, since it has become so secularized; but it will definitely not have any context with Christ. Maybe a picture of Rudolph or Santa. The Google logo pictures and who they honor reveal much about the individuals behind the company.

I see this sort of question every religious holiday and always have the same response: WHO CARES WHAT GOOGLE “THINKS”?

By even asking a question like this you give them way too much credibility and much more importance than they deserve.

They’re a business, and they can do what they want. And you’ll have a much merrier Christmas if you don’t worry about what Google “thinks.”

Merry Christmas!

I don’t get my validation from Google, so I don’t care.

I don’t choose a search engine based on a logo.

I don’t choose a car dealership based on the color of the building.

I was asking about "religious holidays," not "made-up, pile of crap, fake 'holidays' that no one celebrates, even blacks"

Get rid of Google products in your life, the company is evil.

I've always found Google's anti-Semitism weird, considering that Sergey Brin's family came to the U.S. in order to flee anti-Semitism in the Soviet Union.

Yes, it’s ridiculous. Google goes out of its way to dismiss the culture of most Americans. And as I recall they seem to put a lot of emphasis on minority cultures.

And I think it’s valuable to show our dissatisfaction with these IT giants who have so much subtle but profound influence over how we think about ourselves and our culture.

I CARE what Google does. We care about how restaurants and retail stores treat us. And I am their customer and I’d like to see them be better citizens. And it extends far more than a token Christmas picture on December 25th — but even that little thing would be appreciated.

Glorify our mainstream culture every once in a while, Google! It doesn’t cost you anything.

I understand these IT giants are free enterprises, but our government has also bent over backwards to give these internet firms special benefits, such as lower taxes.

It’s very similar to Ford sending jobs to Mexico. There’s no law against it, but there’s nothing wrong with complaining about it. We might save a few American jobs.

And if enough of us complain, these monopolists might feel the pain in their stock price.

Can’t wait for Trump or Cruz to get in office. Maybe then, we can start addressing some of the privacy issues these firms like to trample on.
