Love & Hate

I Love: the fact that Iran got its Holocaust-denying, nuke-building butt handed to it by Mexico yesterday in the World Cup. Way to go, Mexico. Trivia fact: Iran's president could not come to Germany to support the team; he would have been arrested immediately by the German govt if he set foot on German soil because he claims that the Holocaust is a myth - which is a punishable offense in Germany, and I am so not even kidding.

I Hate: the fact that Google is going ahead with its heavily-censored Chinese search site, Google.cn. They should be sanctioned for this. Terms like "democracy" and "Tianamen Square" will be erased from the Chinese site. It's widely known that China censors the internet for its 1 billion + citizens, but the fact that an American firm would compromise democratic values and freedom of information, the fact that it would support a government like that of China with so little hesitation just for the greenbacks sickens me. Shame on you, Google. Shame on you.
