<DIV>This is terribly wrong. The exceptions and caveats to this simple concept must be included every time it is said or written. Any time my State, Federal or ICANN or UN funds are involved this is in violation of law.</DIV>
<DIV>Article 1.</DIV>
<UL>
<LI><EM>All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights.They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood. </EM></LI></UL>
<DIV>Segragation into groups is fine as long as it does not violate this precept and righteous goal.</DIV>
<DIV>Article 7.</DIV>
<UL>
<LI><EM>All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination. </EM></LI></UL>
<DIV>Any man woman or child is fully entitled to bear hatred, bias and prejudice. They are not entitled as Milton suggests to act upon it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>NCUC, Syracuse and Delft are not "free" and are certainly not free to discriminate and cloister and exclude.</DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Hello,<BR><BR>It is not amusing. This could inspire other religious groups to start Kosher search engines, satvic search engines ?? Such divisions could create closed Internet communities. <BR><BR>Usually, Internet communities are specialized groups that do not restrain or prohibit the members of the community from being a part of any other community; religious communities with a restrained attitude could emerge to be communities that restrain or influence (if not prohibit) its members from being a part of other communities.<BR><BR>Sivasubramanian Muthusamy<BR><BR><BR>

<DIV style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">Very funny indeed. I'm eagerly waiting for the <A href="http://www.iamharam.com/" target=_blank rel=nofollow>www.iamharam.com</A> search engine (the domain name is still free BTW).
<DIV>But after all, simply a targetted form of blocking: isn't blocking all about "unethical" websites, whatever the "ethic" reference?</DIV>
<DIV>But what is *really* clever with this is the possibilities of really well targeted advertisement. </DIV>
