Political Advertisements?

YOU MEAN THIS SITE POSTS POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENTS?!?!?!?!?!?!

With political ads at the top of this forum, why is it that we are chastized for posting political comments? Is the site being PAID for these ads?

I assume its a Google ads service? They must have some pretty powerful algorithms at work!

I'm sure they are selected by Goog, click on them.

Hopefully the board gets a kickback.

Maybe some of the political waste can go to good.

Okay, Great! Then only make the ads visible when the OD Forum is being viewed. I don't want to see Russ Frickin' Feingold's commy face while I'm looking at Tech Discussion.

I don't get it. Was Hitler a commie in addition to being a nazi? So Feingold is a Jewish communist nazi. Right? I'll bet he's also secretly a black person born in Kenya and has illegals mowing his lawn.

Larry,

Scroll down and look at the bottom left-hand corner of the page. There's a drop-down menu that allows one to change the "style" of the forum.

Try "Low graphics - Dialup style (no Gallery)". It's like getting a larger monitor for your computer.

For an even cleaner look, I disable the display of avatars and signatures, too.

Thought no one would ever ask!

The Nazi Party was the National SOCIALIST Party. They took over the auto industry, just like our democrat socialists. They took over healthcare just like our democrat socialists. They outlawed guns just like our democrat socialists want. The Nazi's also considered their people unable to take responsibility for their own actions just as our democrat socialists feel that the people of the US are unable to take responsibility for their own actions. They are doing a good job of making more and more people believe that they can not take care of themselves and need these socialists to do it for them. No our democrat socialists have not exterminated any Jews.... yet!

As for him being black or ILLEGALLY employing lawn care workers, you'll have to check with him on that one. I'm SURE that he would tell you the truth if he is doing anything illegal.

Actually ol' Russ has been quite successful in joining in the conversion of the US into a Socialist Country that's getting even more Socialist than the European countries that they pattern their Socialism from. So, I have to give him credit as being successful in his endeavor.

Thanks very much for the tip Eskimo. I have just taken advantage of it. You kept me from taking HUGE next step that would have seemed radical even as compared to MY radical reputation.
