Sad that advocating that we treat people with respect and dignity is a political statement.

- magicalist 13y agoGoogle has been doing doodles for 15 years, since at least burning man in 1998. I would have thought most people would be over it by now.
- cromwellian 13y agoGoogle has always shown doodles for most of it's history, and it has often had a 1 or 2 line subtitle for certain special events, emergencies, or holidays. Egads man! It's taking up approximately the same physical space it always had, comparing this to Yahoo's portal is ridiculous. Also, if you use the Omnibox or other search boxes in the browser, you don't even see it. You only see this if you visit www.google.com
- vectorpush 13y agoLooking at the archive, I'm surprised you made it this far. A cursory search reveals many "political" doodles. http://www.google.com/doodles/50th-anniversary-of-jfks-inauguration http://www.google.com/doodles/50th-anniversary-of-jfks-inaug... http://www.google.com/doodles/50th-anniversary-of-the-i-have-a-dream-speech http://www.google.com/doodles/50th-anniversary-of-the-i-have... http://www.google.com/doodles/south-african-freedom-day-2013 http://www.google.com/doodles/south-african-freedom-day-2013 http://www.google.com/doodles/election-day-us http://www.google.com/doodles/election-day-us http://www.google.com/doodles/international-womens-day-2005 http://www.google.com/doodles/international-womens-day-2005 http://www.google.com/doodles/sopa-pipa http://www.google.com/doodles/sopa-pipa Anyway, I use DDG from time to time, I like it but the results aren't always the best in my experience. More power to you, I hope DDG works well for you, your comments in this thread just seem pretty disingenuous.

- barking 13y agoIf your nickname refers to the Oliver Cromwell, I find it curiously at odds with your comment.
- cromwellian 13y agoIt refers to my real name combined with my wife's last name, but it's also a wink-and-nod to Oliver Cromwell and also 'Orwellian'.
- barking 13y agoDisturbing. I'll be keeping a close eye on you for signs of megalomania from now on. :-)
- cromwellian 13y agoI'm trying to reclaim the name for positive associations. Many people don't even know how Oliver Cromwell was, I've even encountered British people who didn't know the history. Anyway, there's actor James Cromwell. We need to band together and overcome the negative association with the good ole' Lord Protector. (My grandfather used to tell me that he traced our ancestry and supposedly we are closely/directly descended, but I don't buy it. On the other hand, 23andme localized my ancestral DNA pretty strongly to the UK)
- barking 13y agoHe was held responsible for a massacre 5 miles from where I was born. I did a school project on it and stood in a stone tower room where local women and children had gone for refuge but were discovered and slaughtered. Even closer to home was a spot where as Cromwell's army passed a man stood looking at them. His behaviour was viewed as impudent and he was summarily hanged. As a small kid he was the devil incarnate to me. Since then my view has become a lot less black and white but it's hard to shake off childhood associations entirely.
