Google Honors Veterans Day, Finally
theodp writes "It took nearly a decade, but Google has done a turnabout and is honoring Veterans Day with a special holiday design for its famous logo. Users who log onto Google's home page are greeted with three World War I-era helmets capping the letters 'o' and 'e' in Google's name. The decoration is a marked departure for the company, which has come under fire from veterans' groups for ignoring American holidays such as Veterans Day and Memorial Day since Google's inception in 1999."
I am very offended in seeing the tag "whining" attached to this article. Soldiers of all nationalities give their lives, often dying gruesome deaths, so that war profiteers and other unscrupulous chickenhawk fatcats win big.
Pull the troops out IMMEDIATELY.
I second Jon Katz. Does that guy even post anymore? I think I registered this account for the sole purpose of ignoring his crap.
Here he goes, posting an article from a Repugnican and Zionazi-friendly site, and you still criticise him!
Now I'm confused - is KDawson a liberal, or a nazi?
One swallow does not a fellatrix make
Me 3, after a year of reading slashdot I had had enough of Jon Katz and created an account for the sole purpouse of removing his crap from my front page.
This is a TROLL to you monsters? Is thinking about civilian casualties that terrible? This poster raises a ton of good points - mod parent up!
then I'm Mary, Queen of Scots.
I stand up to our "elected" politicians every day on behalf of FRIENDS AND FAMILY CURRENTLY SERVING, because they have to deal with the fucked-up bullshit of our "rules of engagement" that get more American military killed than anything else.
I gather care packages for the troops, whatever they ask for that they need, to make things more bearable for them. I'm there to welcome them home, and make sure they hear back frequently how they ARE APPRECIATED - maybe not by cunts like GW Shrub, maybe not by bitches like Sheila Jerkson Lee and John LIAR Kerry, but by the AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Now crawl back into the hole you came from, you commie terrorist-loving faggot.
we're not commanded to "strike the necks" of unbelievers.
we're not given 72 virgins for ensuring that the infidels die.
we see the destruction of world historical artifacts, no matter what religion they are related to, as a TRAVESTY rather than a religious duty.
we don't insist that women be covered, and beheaded if they happen to show a few strands of hair from beneath the veil.
we don't believe that women are property to be collected like pokemon; we certainly don't go with the 'four wives and as many female slaves as you want' approach.
But you tell me - what would you call a religion in which the principle command is to "hate what allah hates"??? Here's a hint: it begins with I and ends with slam.
