pervasive throughout all modern cultures and political systems

even in America, women didn't get the right to vote until 50 years after freed male slaves got the vote

in several Asian countries, female babies and fetuses are frequently killed or aborted because male children are much more highly regarded -- thus leading to the ironic outcome that in those parts of the world there are huge shortages of women for the sons to marry -- man-o-centric stupidity at its finest

in some Middle Eastern and African countries they practice female genital mutilation, cutting off a girl's clitoris under the theory or belief that only men's orgasms count, women don't deserve orgasms

meaningless blog drivel clogging up the major search engines on the web; from the term grey goo

when doing a web search on a particular topic nowadays, especially on Google, it becomes increasingly common to have 70% or more of your search results on the first few pages be blog links, most of which are utterly useless

this occurs because gazillions of blog writers babble about a gazillion-squared rambling topics, most of which end up on big blog web pages with hundreds of other non-sequiter references to other blogs in big inane mish-mashes of links and buzz words

other blog writers then link to those blog pages, noting that so-and-so commented on whats-his-name's comment about joe-blow's timely blog on such-and-such a topic

link amplifiers like digg and technorati and gawker just compound the goo and inanity

now, when the major search engine spiders crawl all of these blog pages, and blog pages about blog pages, they see all of these links and crosslinks, thus artificially boosting the blog pages to higher search engine status, thus crowding out legitimate search responses

capiche?

a simple fix would be if Google and the other search engines identified blog pages as different from regular web content pages, and gave the user the option of viewing search results comprised of no blog results, all blog results, or both

sometimes also written ST:tNG

another description for virtual reality, especially when it involves multiple users interacting in a virtual space
