Your friends could be right. Google is a registered trademark so the Corporation could, in the theory, try and reclaim that domain name from you. It has happened in the past with the adsense.com domain name - now owned by Google but previously owned, quite legitimately, by a company who just happened to have a product by that name. The curious thing is they owned that domain name before Google AdSense even came into existence, but the power of Google meant they won in court anyway.
In reality that's unlikely to happen BUT I would avoid using AdSense on that domain - it's a good enough excuse for them to ban you (not that they need an excuse).
