I don't object to Google ads ... for the most part

[ashling]

If I could afford to make a donation I would (I happen to be trying to keep the electricity on right now, and its sort of iffy), but the Jeff Sessions ad at the bottom of the page is a little much. :grr:

1. You make a donation to DU

and you can cut out those ads.

3. No offense, but

CAN YOU NOT READ?

I said I dont object to the ads ...

I also said that I can't make a donation right now. I am a graduate student and my position as a grad assistant has been cut for the summer so I am going to have to get an emergency loan from school so that the electricity doesn't get cut off!

The point that I was trying to make was that having an ad vertisement from Jeff Sessions (Dumbfuck, Ala) on this site is sort of disgusting. (on the other hand, it is sort of wasting that shitheads money I guess).

2. The Google ads can easily be blocked

with the Opera browser.

Just right click on the page and click on "Block Content"

Then you just click on all the ads that you want to block.

4. Thanks

I appreciate the tip. I am not concerned about ads per se.

5. I do it different, I edit to the "host" file

I use FF(with plug-ins), Opera & IE. I have to use Internet Explorer for my online bills,
On every P.C. (Linux & Windows) the first thing I do is edit the "host"

At work I added "127.0.0.1 foxnews.com" to the list to play with the morans. It's a geek thing... I had a good laugh!
