Don't click "I'm Feeling Lucky."



Unless you're actually feeling lucky.


You might get lucky and go to jail in some countries.

Or at a minimum redflagged.


Actually we're filtering the input fairly extensively. At this point there shouldn't be any searches that would be considered illegal. Raunchy maybe, but not illegal.

* Ironically the terms that get flagged aren't what people would expect. Anarchy, animal rights, veganism, and food not bombs all get flagged in the U.S.


Veganism ??

That's about as non-violent as it gets!

Even the eggs are safe from vegans.


Google "Earth Liberation Front"; the "eco terrorists" are very high on the fed's shit-list.


Sure, but to equate vegans with eco terrorists is a bit much isn't it ?

Most of them are far from it, I've yet to meat ;) a single vegan that came across as aggressive in any way. I'm sure they exist but it definitely isn't the norm.


Veganism gets flagged, but "juicy men" does not?
