Poll: How do you feel about the impact of AdWords on Google Search?

It's terrible: AdWords is a injection of bid-ranked marketing content into what should be a purely relevance-ranked page

It's a little annoying: it clutters up the page, but I just try to ignore it

It's not bad: Ads can occasionally provide useful info beyond what you would get from the search results

It's great: The ads provide highly-targeted content that helps me find what I'm really looking for

I don't know if you'll see this, but I'm curious: would you prefer to live in a world without AdWords? That is to say, all things being equal, if Google magically had revenue from another source and AdWords did not exist, wou

Oh, I totally agree. I'm merely pointing out that pornography seems to have a special place in the history of media depictions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_erotic_depictions

If you're not satisfied with your current sexual experiences, the solution is to explore your own sexuality and find what actually turns you on. If porn helps you achieve that, then that's great. Obviously you should work on findi

Reading this article, I get the feeling that the real problem isn't porn at all, but rather societal attitudes toward porn and the web of shame that the author finds himself ensnared in. He seems to admit as much towards the end of the

Good points... I like point number 2, as I have often thought that there is nothing intrinsically "good" or "bad" about the existence of life in the universe, it is simply a beautifully complex arrangement of atoms, one

I wonder: does increasingly weak enforcement lead to increasing complacency about the law in question?

Of course... I understand that your comment wasn't advocating that we only arrest poor people, etc. I'm just curious about a hypothetical: if we DID live in a dystopia where nobody could get away with anything, would this perhaps

by md224 13y ago
I feel kind of divided on this... I mostly agree, but we also need to think about the consequences of selective enforcement. Cannabis-related arrests, for example, seem to be disproportionately focused on people of color, which may have sof
