Why does Colorado prohibit gun registration

So, doing my normal looking around the web and came on a poster showing what happens if you Google "Why does [STATE]". Google shows you what the top three most searched terms that are in autocomplete. Curious, I checked for Colorado and while the top pick was "Why does Colorado have 85 octain gas" (Not sure where that comes from), it was the 2nd pick that gave me a WTF moment. Why on Gods Green Earth is "Why does Colorado prohibit gun registration" even being asked much less in the top 3. I think George Carlin continues to be proven right

"Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.”

So, what did you find out?

I suspect that Google pushes agendas with those suggested searches ... I don't believe that a large number of people have searched that.

I just checked it and the second choice was "why does colorado have so many shootings"

so I really smell a rat here.

That was Third when I looked

I've heard people ask about Colorado shootings before. That is possibly a common question asked, in certain circles.

Filter bubble

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filter_bubble

Just Google "Why does...." and enjoy.

It's the Pot's fault...

You know that those auto-complete results are based on YOUR personal browsing habits, right? What I see for auto-complete, and what *you* see for auto-complete, are not identical.

I tried several different states. Here are a couple of my favorites.

Why does Wyoming exist?

Why does New Jersey smell?

Mine has the same: 85 octane, registration, shootings, in that order.

why does google hate ...

Yep, pretty much the same here...we're well known for our mass shootings and dope smokers outside of the wire.

Strange. Mine comes up

Why does Colorado have 13 games
Why does Colorado play 13 games
Why does Colorado hate California
Why does Colorado prohibit gun registration
Why does Colorado hate Texas

Same here.

85 octane
registration
shootings
then a couple about 13 games

Interesting read about the filter bubble. The reactions were fascinating. On the one side, the author lays out a pretty good case for the bubble. Then in the reactions, they start out with "a non-scientific" poll of 5 associates. He claims a diverse ideological background, but they are all associates, so there's that. So, I asked myself..."knowing what we know about Google...what is the most likely truth. Occam's razor, and all that".

It reminded me of the quote from a typical NYC elite type when the Republicans had a landslide victory. "How did they do that??? I don't know ANYONE that voted for them!" Typical bubble response.

Eh. Who cares. Google is racist anyways.

Why was "Project Blue Book" contracted to the University of Colorado? lolz

Why is this even a conversation? Or are there some on this forum who feel gun registration is a "Reasonable Compromise" ??

"Why does Colorado hate California so much?"

My top three as well. "play 13 games" is fourth.

Why do people think 1s and 0s in a database will prevent crime in the real world? Is a would-be murderer going to think "well I can't kill anyone with this gun, it's a in a database!"

Registration > Confiscation

It's the only explanation.

I actually don't know to many Colorado folks that hate California, it's the idiots residing there that they can't stand (that doesn't include you of course).

Agreed.

When I was in Europe in the early 80's, that's what most Europeans and the Brits thought about France. Great place, too bad it's full of French people. [LOL]

Agreed. I've been saying for a while now: I think California would probably be the best state in the US if there weren't any Californians...

The problem is that most of the idiots the aren't Californians. Traditionally true Californians were very conservative farmers, bankers, etc. It was the liberal professors that came from all over the world because of the weather and beauty of the state that twisted the education system that in turn brought more morons and eventually destroyed the demographics of California. That and Hollywood. Most of the true Californians left the state long ago.

Very true. I'm in a pretty conservative area and it still hurts my brain.

I won't post about what it listed when typing "stole my bike" - welcome to try it on your own.

Oddly enough, google predictive put up absolutely nothing when I typed in "Why does Colorado" - data point, I guess.

Must be a mistake. You should write to Google and tell them.

I'm not so certain that they do...
