I found this story as something worth being upset over, how do you feel about
the fact that Google launders billions to avoid paying taxes ? Isn't it more than
a mere coincidence that they launder billions through a post-office box numbered
666, which is the number of the antichrist ?

The CBS Evening News was just on, I saw Scott Pelley mention that
Google is the largest corporation in the world, estimated worth of
570 Billion dollars.

Funny how he didn't mention this ?

That is one HELL of a coincidence. I think it isn't too crazy to suggest it was done on purpose. What are some other examples? I remember there are tons of stuff where you see 666, some it is obvious and some you have to use your imagination almost, but there are logos out there that are completely strange. Cern is one I can think of. And Apple has an interesting one, a bitten apple.

Apple's first computer was intentionally priced at $666.66
Isn't it also possible that they were named after the "forbidden fruit" ?

^LOL That is great. I am sure it was done as a complete joke, a sick joke, but still a joke. Even if you don't believe in God and the Devil, the devil is still something you don't joke about. Can't blame these guys, if you had all the power and money in the world, you be trolling the public as well.

But, but, but.......

Many media has created a perception that when multinational profits are parked offshore it's taking jobs away from the US. A PO box is not an investment.

There was a tax amnesty during the Bush years. Repatriated monies were not used for research/ develment development- job creation, as intended. Instead, those multinational corporations that participated tended to use the money to buy back stock which tends to goose stock price. Many of the multinationals did so while laying off tens of thousands.
