    Evil serves a very important role. Without evil, we wouldn't know what good is. Thus, evil is simply a "lesser good". Therefore, Google is good. QED. Marc

        True, good and evil are like best buddies, non can exist without the other. Is it even possible to run a success business or company without being slightly evil?

                I actually didn't know they had this motto. I googled it (cough), found a Wikipedia page about it and on there this note: Google now appears to have dropped the original motto altogether (a carefully reworded version remains on the aforementioned Google Code of Conduct as of 10 April 2015, "You can make money without doing evil" [..]) :rolleyes:

                    Because they're 'projecting'...they blame everyone else for their own shortcomings ie: they're evil. You see this a lot...for example, people who 'promote awareness' seem to have a severe lack of it themselves.

                            It's more of a guideline.

                              It's an anagram of "Embody Evil". (Hey, that's about as accurate as half the statements made in meetings, and there's a chance he's dylsexic, and I'll get away with it)

                                Evil deserves no role. If we did not have evil then we would have no problem not knowing what good is. We would be happy as ever never asking the question.

                                        My favourites are the conspiracy theorists who say that we should have secret meetings to discuss how to deal with all the conspiracies.
