When someone arbitrarily changes the terms of an agreement you have with them, and then tells you to comply or suffer, I'd call that threat of force (whether or not physical violence is involved). Like all crap, it still stinks.
well okay. Open mouth insert foot. I don't consider a site that describes tv-tropes as unfriendly to anything. It's like someone calling me out for quoting George Carlin's 7 Words You Can't Say on TV even though I clearly have indicated I'm quoting (for whatever purpose). It's borderline insanity.
The problem being that Google, using it's ad-dollars, is forcing a site that is completely devoid of anything remotely family un-safe to make a change in the way it shows its content.
No, they assign it more money and it still fails to operate in the black. Socialized health care does not work on many fronts, financially is just one of them. Look at the excessive taxes that UK and Canada have for their (flailing) systems. Sickening.
I will say that this is not a case of evolution in action, but adaptation (there is a difference; and yes, probably will get modded as flamebait, you evolutionists can't stand to be told you're wrong).

sad. ):
The Prince was brilliant.
I mean seriously. Do people really fall for these scams?
What this smells like is that Google is suddenly becoming the morality police.
As another poster suggested, this could open them up for lawsuits.
That's definitely one of the more chilling aspects of it for Google, I think.
Aside from what I'm saying now, I have no idea how to reply.

Yeah, I know.

wow. I'm not sure I want to know what you do, but NSFW is getting really strict.
He'd wind up with something quite sensitive in a vise, I'm quite sure.
I have long since abandoned defending Google.

Doing evil that doesn't look evil.

Momentum. It'll keep going until an outside force (friction) works on it. Newton knew this.
You fail at basic knowledge. French health care is regularly billions in the red every year.
you have a weird definition of efficiency.
Perhaps, but it's also true.
Why hello there.
*takes the bait*

I bet you don't have warm beer. :p
Indeed it is. (:
The FTC behaved pretty much reasonably in this case.
I'm pretty sure that's one of the signs of the apocalypse.
oh I agree, but flying is a convenience, supposedly.
Time to get a passport then. I'd like to be able to go on mission trips outside the U.S. at least once in my life. (:
