Ads are powered by your search history and cookies on your computer sometimes. So if you have been reading a lot of articles about zimmerman etc... it will show you "anything" related even though it may not seem related to you.

So, if I clear out my history and cookies this ad may not appear?

Firefox with Ad Blocker... problem solved... no ads
I actually don't have to worry about any ads at home because I use Untangle as a firewall and have it blocking them all.
I did notice that ad when I was playing on a wifi and I clicked on it, filled it out and got the results. (disposable email address of course). Funny how democrat is 7% and that's about where the anti-gun votes are as well...
http://personalliberty.com/poll-results-should-stand-your-ground-law-be-repealed/
1) In the wake of the Zimmerman not guilty verdict, do you think “Stand Your Ground” laws need to be repealed?
6% voted: Yes, it is a dangerous law that needs to be repealed.
93% voted: No, a citizen that feels threatened should have a legal right to defend himself without fear of prosecution.
0% voted: Not Sure.
2) Do you think “Stand Your Ground” laws make an armed citizen more likely to use deadly force to diffuse a situation?
7% voted: Yes, I believe the laws are turning law abiding citizens into outlaws by making it legal to shoot first and ask questions later.
93% voted: No, I believe most gun owners are responsible enough to know when a situation deems the use of deadly force.
1% voted: Not Sure.
3) In the wake of an increase in “self-defense” claims as a result of “Stand Your Ground” laws, do you think it’s time for stricter gun laws?
92% voted: No, no change to gun laws is needed.

Yup, that's it.
Under most circumstances I would agree, but in this particular case since I pay the bills I don't, the ad revenue covers site costs and if they are blocked then they aren't

If I had, do you honestly think it would be purses??? :whistle:
Mine has been showing a lot of GM truck ads. I think Ian is trying to push them on us now that he has a new truck.
I don't know... you tell me...
You will join me, resistance is futile!

So you say... My family has had better luck with Ford's over the years. My dad generally gets a new truck every two years. He got a GM a couple years ago and it didn't even make it a year before he traded it back in for a Ford. It didn't even have 30K miles on it and started burning oil like crazy.
Plus Ford's have air conditioned seats :first:
We run some fords and some GM vehicles in our fleet, and honestly it seems about 6 to one and half dozen to the other in terms of how they run and longevity. We get a whole lotta mileage out of GM 4.3 V6's, the two Ford 3.0 V6's we had (maybe 3.3, I can't remember) didn't do so well. We have also had a couple of the 4.0/ 5 speed manual F150's that have 250k plus miles on them without too much hassle with the exception of a rusting coolant pipe on the intake manifolds on them and a couple of things here and there.
And GM vehicles have heated / cooled seats too :usa:
The oil burning truck had to have been an LS motor... they tend to do that... haha. A friend of mine had an '00 Camaro with an LS1 that was called 'ole smokey, looked like he was James Bond laying down the smoke screen when he'd race it.
