The hidden truth of the web?

Sandok · Jun 14, 2006, 07:17 PM

I don't know if many of you have tried out google/trends before but it is actually pretty interesting I find... I mean, it classes by country or city what people search most for and I found some funny yet interesting contradictions...

For example, the word Allah is most searched by Pakistan (which isn't much of a surprise) and thus, it's easy to guess that the country is still very "moral" and "religious". Coming from their neighbour, I can sorta confirm that

But then guess who searches most for the word Boobs? Again, Pakistan... I'll let you make up what you want from that but I really find it quite interesting! Also, another interesting thing is like you type in gay sex (sorry I had to try

) and Phillipines and Saudia Arabia come top. Interesting to see what populations say and have a reputation for and what google shows they search for

Wow, that is a lot of useless info man... Too much time on ur hands or something? I would like make a genuine response but I really don't know how to respond to that...

Who knows, maybe it will be on some trvia show but I bet wikipedia says something about it.

I wish... More like not enough

But it's some knowledge and you can never have enough of it! Knowledge = power

power = money > knowledge

the equation for the world's business and political structures

The fact is people that say and supress themselves in in everything they do ALWAYS end up in practical problems. They are trying to do things in not living as humans when they ARE TOTOALLY humans and CANNOT run away from the fact they are humans. Religion countries and people themselves are perfectionsists and to be that does not mean you want what is perfect to do, in fact it means you want others to view what is PERFECT TO YOU as what is PERFECT TO THEM thus you are trying to impose your view on another open souls rather than leaving everyone to live their course and not bothering them minding your own business. This is the cause of all the tension of people who try to live like people that are not like people. Hope you get it. I am very well known for beating around the bush too much.

Should I be embarrassed? lol.

excuse me, I need to partake in the national past time.

Locke1632 · Jun 22, 2006, 06:07 PM

Living in a tention war-zone like Pakistan where anything non-religous is for the most part suppressed would sure give me a hankering for doing something bad. It seems odd on the surface yet if thought about it then it is somewhat obvious: Pakistan is mainly muslim. Muslim dictates that women be covered up. I will go ahead and assume that even though muslim makes most men supress public "feelings" that they are still men and would want to see things. The simple way to do this without being caught? Google!

Knowledge is power, and power leads to corruption, so Knowledge = corruption..

SFOSOK · Jul 14, 2006, 03:29 AM

Not if you end it at power : )
