I presume that's a joke. Goodness knows what topic area you are searching in.

Some great points in this thread though, especially with respect to responsibility.

Sorry Google, but morality HAS to be an issue amongst decent folk. Hard nosed capitalism, where the strong don't give a hoot about the weak, is pretty ugly.

That is basically what seems to have occurred with some of the guys on here. They are your 'collateral damage' - the innocent bystanders.

Given the numbers that seem to be involved... have you REALLY done the homework to keep this to an absolute minimum? Have you REALLY given due consideration to the the small but high quality sites that some of them produce? It certainly doesn't look like it.... but only you know the answers to these questions. Only you can decide how much of a social conscience to have, if any.
