What is Digg?205 Comments
- TROY7, on 05/13/2008, -5/+106How can you ban Google?
- dkoon, on 05/13/2008, -5/+85Microsoft donated 3 Millions.... Oh sorry, this is digg
- TheKoopaBros, on 05/13/2008, -4/+59That is just awesome. Props to them.
- D3koy, on 05/13/2008, -5/+56google for the ***** win...they've yet to do something that I really don't like..
- Resolution, on 05/13/2008, -2/+48So what if they are banned? The money is for the oppressed people, not their government.
- centran, on 05/13/2008, -5/+41First let me say that this is awesome of google.
Now let me be an ass and say... why the hell are we giving them money? Are they even allowing us and other countries into Myanmar to help yet?
This is kind of like giving money to a homeless guy when you know he will just go by drugs or alcohol. Their government is not going to use this money to help their people!!! - FatLoser, on 05/13/2008, -2/+35You're all missing one important detail: Google sent the money via Google Checkout... since they banned Google they won't be able to retrieve the money.
- Enasni1212, on 05/13/2008, -1/+20/Looks at political comment
/Looks at topic of article
/Facepalm - louiebaur, on 05/13/2008, -1/+21That was cool of google for sure
- tolbs, on 05/13/2008, -1/+19That doesn't even make any sense.....
- synaesthesia, on 05/13/2008, -1/+17Hey man dont shoot the messenger. Although I did hear they stole Enasni1212's bike.
- Shots, on 05/13/2008, -0/+16Since Myanmar is not allowing entry to foreign aid workers, how do we know the money is going to the citizens, and not being deposited into some Swiss Bank account for some fat Junta Pig.

- Fozefy, on 05/13/2008, -0/+12Google isn't blocked to you...Use it.
- Silentnite85, on 05/13/2008, -0/+13They found me a link to 2g1c, but I guess its my fault for wondering what all the fuss was about. Still, I hate them for it.
- rshnrocket85, on 05/13/2008, -3/+15This is not a political debate. It's a story about Google's charity, even-though they are banned by the ones who they are helping. I thought I would explain that, it seems to me you lost the point.
- aastanistreet, on 05/13/2008, -1/+15FYI calling it Myanmar legitimizes the military government...its Burma
- Enasni1212, on 05/13/2008, -3/+14Google stole my bike.
- sockpuppets, on 05/13/2008, -0/+10Dragon and angry smurf brigades.
- Llanowar, on 05/13/2008, -0/+9While it is indeed awesome. Just imagine what would have happened if google didn't donate 1 million anymore because they were banned?
- santaliqueur, on 05/13/2008, -0/+10Probably a tax write off? You can bet your ass it is. Why do you think most companies donate in the first place? Google is no different. It's a very nice gesture in my opinion.
- HealthyElijah, on 05/13/2008, -2/+10Google Rocks!
Google is leading quite a bit by example. - AzureRise, on 05/13/2008, -2/+12/ban 64.233.167.99
- smartazz, on 05/13/2008, -0/+6hairypothead, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
- livestradamus, on 05/13/2008, -1/+9I didn't realize Microsoft is banned there too.
- hiro, on 05/13/2008, -1/+7Burma
- WoollyMittens, on 05/13/2008, -0/+6The corrupt government will keep the money for themselves, then blame the evil west for not helping the people. At least, that is how it always goes.
- Spuy767, on 05/13/2008, -0/+5Exactly. The Government of Myanmar has been begging for aid, but they want it delivered to them, and not directly to the people.
- sockpuppets, on 05/13/2008, -1/+7Worst use of the reply button and spelling of "worst" EVAR!
- ArchangelZLT, on 05/13/2008, -1/+6... But I'm pretty sure their donation has done something. That, my friend, hurts nobody.
- Rikkochet, on 05/13/2008, -0/+5I usually strongly disagree with that, but I'm definitely with you on this one.
We've seen enough newsreels of some foreign supplies arriving in Burma and then being 'seized by the military for distribution'.
Um, what? ***** that, I don't trust that a dime of what I'm contributing is going to anything but a corrupt military's stockpile (you know, in case the riots get worse) and I'm not biting. I'd sooner donate to disaster relief in China, and I despise their government. - PullingTeeth, on 05/13/2008, -1/+7Great humanitarian effort, I'd love to someday work for these guys.
- Twelve-60, on 05/13/2008, -1/+6Error: Incorrect syntax
- Dylan47, on 05/13/2008, -1/+6its not like they have internet anyway.
- GRX3000, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4I hereby issue hairypothead the "Idiot of the Day" award. I would give him the "Idiot of the Century" award, but that goes to the Myanmar government.
- hiro, on 05/13/2008, -1/+5Its proper name is Burma
- santaliqueur, on 05/13/2008, -2/+6Hey moron, not everything has to be about politics. Write it down if you need to.
- rjghwruigvyoy, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4even though 1million is like pocket change to google.... i think its the principle of what they're doing that matters the most....
- Joomal, on 05/13/2008, -0/+6You have successfully banned one of Google's addresses from ever accessing your channel in the IRC.
Did you know Google has about 100 different addresses? - usherzx, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4Way to go Google!
Kill'em with kindness.
It never fails. - GRX3000, on 05/13/2008, -1/+5Goose
- Philluminati, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4There is a difference between "Access Denied" and "500 Internal Server Error" ;-)
- GRX3000, on 05/13/2008, -0/+4He's quite right, actually... you can't ban one part of a website and not the other.
- alam555, on 05/13/2008, -2/+9finally, leading the way america was meant to all along.
- inactive, on 05/13/2008, -1/+6Human beings love eachother and hate Xbox.
- richardPM, on 05/13/2008, -1/+5myanmar - sounds like some kind of candy bar
