I present this from Fox News Service

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — People looking for information on Judaism (search) on the Internet might be surprised when the result leads them to an anti-Semitic Web site.




For the past three years, the first Web site to come up as a result when searching for the word "Jew" on the popular search engine Google (search) was the site known as "Jew Watch." It includes subjects such as "Jewish Mind Control" and "Zionist Occupied Governments."

The site got kicked down to No. 2 this week, supplanted by an encyclopedia listing for "Jew."

Many Jewish leaders were upset, saying the site results denigrate Jews. Various Jewish groups and academics petitioned Google to have "Jew Watch" taken down a notch from the No. 1 spot.

Google said it found "Jew Watch" offensive, but had no plans to remove it. Company executives said their search-result ranking system is based on complex mathematical formulas, and that results are never manipulated by Google.

Google has posted a disclaimer on its site, saying it has nothing to do with the content and advises people to type in words like "Judaism" or "Jewish" instead of "Jew."

Although the site is considered illegal in parts of Europe, the First Amendment (search) protects the legality of "Jew Watch" here in the United States.

You just never know where it's going to rear it's ugly head do you?

I would have to say that those using the tag Jew would not exactly be looking to learn. Judaism, yes, Jew, no. At least Google is aware of it and now others may bump up the other sites and knock it down.

Their mathematical formulas deal with the frequency with which the words you're searching for appear in the page and within the META tags of the document, as well as how many times the page is accessed through Google.

These formulas, as demonstrated, are dumb, and there is an entire industry out there dealing with how to trick them into bringing your website up into the top 10.

It goes into familiar territory of the World Church of the Creator. And other churches that preach this same old rhetoric of the master race or some superior race that is blessed by the LORD G-D more so than all the other evil races. But are they evil? Noooo! <SARCASIM>

Arent we all evil? Dont we all sin? No one person is wholy good. It makes me sick to think that people still believe this.

May I clarify... "No one person is wholy good. It makes me sick to think that people still believe this." Is in reference to the hate sites...not the part about sining... My gramar skills still need work...even after 25 years of speaking english...I still stink bad.
