Google lifts the veil and most of the hardcore puritan nations come out unclothed!! Google lifted the veil this week on one of its best-kept secrets: which nations search for what. Who looks up democracy most avidly? Who types in "drugs" or "sex" most frequently? Even though homosexuality is punishable by death in Saudi Arabia, the kingdom ranks No. 2 for searches for "gay sex," behind the Philippines.Muslim states seek access to sex-related websites and Pakistan tops the list. No country's secrets are spared. Essence of the story - Just do it, don't feel shy and inhibited, the basic problem for our backwardness and featureless society is our nerve raking tryst with sexual characteristics but our two-facedness not to accept our weaknesses openly. That is the bane of our race; it is for this is that the closer we are the more ‘clandestine evil’ we get. Bringing it out in open is the challenge these puritan societies like mine face. The real immorality and vice is about doing things in security and hiding of ones own surroundings, being an evil in a closet but a lamb outside, the Google report just demonstrates that. If one love beauty let him accept that side of his nature and be open about it, on the other hand ‘society’ at large should give in to popular will and be more open and more permissive, a lenient and tolerant society will search ‘Google sex substance’ with pride not with guilt, this ‘comical’ Google testimony evidently point out that nations that legislate on morality create far more confused minds, let the spirits fly, let the party begin. Let there be light!!! Appreciating beauty is very human, just love it.... providence love those who love fellow beings, may be this is the first revised commandment of the new age..!!! cybermusings.blogspot.com

The reasons most of my posts were addressed to my own self are for purely one reason, those who wanted to read must come and read ideas that are addressed to my own self, no untoward solicitation ever required rather I detest misplaced glory. It is also not that I did not have respect for other threads, it was only because of the fact that if my brains have to be picked by any someone let them come and read it on my own private thread, and through my own private mails addressed to my oneself mostly for good of my own children; no honours were/are expected; no honours are demanded; let people come and read my personal ideas without me being obtrusive in their world; an ordinary man like me have no right to impose my views. I hope this gentleman gets it whenever he next visits my site. I will not respond to him, no need of demonstrate any kind of competence or extraordinary display; modesty and humility associated with integrity is the best course; it has always paid off for me in long term;; To: Crimson Ghost who wrote (9960) 2/4/2006 4:44:17 AM From: GUSTAVE JAEGER Read Replies (1) of 10974 Re: 20 people have me on ignore. And 187 members have Peoplemarked you --congratulations! Much better than my paltry 29... But then, both of us lag far behind SI celebrity IQBAL LATIF who's been Peoplemarked by a whopping 718 members: Member 3771207 The funny thing about Mr LATIF is that 14,767 out of his 15,525 messages so far were posted on his "Idea of the Day" hang-out --all of them self-addressed! Pretty weird, eh? Autism as the shortest, surest way to the widest audience! LOL....
