Since people keep asking why the ad for the Muslim dating service is showing up here, I'll answer it again (5th time now):
Google Adsense advertisements are driven by keywords contained within the content of the pages on which the ads appear. The dating service didn't specifically choose to have their ads on LGF; they tell Google which keywords will cause their ads to appear, and the rest is completely automatic. Since there are usually posts at LGF that mention Islam or Muslims, this triggers the ads to appear.
That's the same reason you'll see ads for creationist nonsense -- because there are posts dealing with creationism, and the creationist groups are obviously pouring money into promoting their beliefs.
The Ann Coulter ads probably show up because LGF is somehow being classified as right wing due to Google's content analysis.
If an ad is outright offensive, I can block it through my Google account, but I don't see any reason to block these particular ads, because I'm happy to accept their money while criticizing them when they deserve it.

The workings of the primitive blame-placer mind are a wonder to behold. When I was in college, a landlord refused to rent to me because I happened to work for the same international corporation as a previous tenant who had stiffed her on the rent.
And let us not forget those pious liberals who blamed (and in some cases still do blame) the city of Dallas or Texas in general for the JFK assassination. There is a (presumably) female poster at Free Republic who bitterly denounces the space program, NASA, and all "space cadets" at every opportunity. Her stated reason, if pressed, is that she was romantically involved with an astronaut 40 years ago, it went very badly, and she has despised them and all their works ever since.
I received an e-mail just after the Boxing Day tsunami denouncing me personally and all other geologists for failing to provide adequate warning. It suggested we were all drunk on the job and should be prosecuted for criminal negligence.

In fact, a reliable barometer of how pointless a discussion will be is to see whether the other guy starts talking about hemp. 98% of the time, you're dealing with a burn-out, and so you can save a lot of time by bringing the topic up first. If he seems enthusiastic, you know you can leave him without having missed out on any intelligent conversation.

Spenser (with an S) Sun, May 3, 2009 1:33:58pm |
The first passage below is mine, the 2nd is from a "social justice" jackass. My email is blue if anyone has any other suggestions...
Yes, because of 1,000 years of being kicked from one part of the globe to another, Israel set up a guaranteed right to citizenship for any Jew from anywhere in the world to give them a safe haven. If you want to be right technically, there you are. However, this is very misleading. My points about their tolerance were speaking to my connotations of the term "racist state" and all that would mean.
More than 20% of Israel's citizens are Arabs, both Christian and Muslim. Speaking of race, how do you explain why the Ethiopian Jews are welcomed with open arms with their obvious difference in heritage? Wouldn't a racist state treat them differently than the others?
Israel happens to be surrounded by a race, the Arabs, which is determined to kill Jews for no other reason than their continued existence is deemed unacceptable. If you could wave your arms and create a stable and fair two-state entity, you would have some very happy Israelis and many very angry Arabs (and Persians). When you read translated Arab media writings you understand that to them, Israel can never occupy a square mile of land in the ME. Time and again, various Arab leaders have called for genocide of the Jews & destruction of Israel. Surely, that is the very definition of racism. Defending oneself against such enemies is not racism, it's survival.
------------------------------------
So, you do agree that Israel is a racist state?
If you do agree with that, then it is doubtful whether you would disagree with anything that Ahmadenejad actually said in the Durban II conference including the statements that prompted the walkout.
Your only problem with the conference would relate to the fact that the conference did not produce anything relating to other forms of racism (namely the anti-Jewish sentiments) in the rest of the Middle Easts.I don't deny that Israel has a better human rights record than many of its neighbors. I think that I have made that clear in previous posts. That does not mean that Israel is above criticism.
Regarding some other things that you wrote, you said, "Israel happens to be surrounded by a race, the Arabs, which is determined to kill Jews for no other reason than their continued existence is deemed unacceptable."
If you had written "Some Arabs want to kill Zionists because they took away their land" then I would have been able to agree with what you said. But, what you actually wrote is much different. You claim that Arabs (as a race) simply want to kill Jews (as a race) simply because they ARE. This is not the truth. In fact, it does not even show any attempt at seeking truth.

I doubt few here would have gotten the connection if I had gone with the Mickey Mouse Club, specifically Jimmie Dodd, which had been my first choice. That left either Barney or Mr. Rogers.

Hi callahan23! I don't down ding either. Maybe twice.
I don't think I've ever down-dinged anybody either.
I wasn't even aware of the Karma thing until a month or so ago.
Did Karma appear at the same time the up/down ding began?

I am doing fine today, hope the same with you.
So how was Gran Torino?
Gran Torino. Well, all in all a very fine film. It had those moments of unicornness as to the conversion of the racist. I would have wanted a more realistic depiction of the resistance of his former beliefs.
Overall pretty good and not too politically correct.
Elicited a lot of ohhs, ahhs and embarrassed laughter from the German audience when those old men were ranting, raving and throwing insults.

I've been driving all day. Arrived save and sound and tired, so this is my only post on this, but I had to observe how insidious simple ignorance can be, as the Discovery Institute knows better than most.
On the other hand, I also have to think that Melanie Phillips doesn't read LGF (and many other things) a fraction of the time that Charles (or I) does, let alone the time Charles reads Melanie Phillips (which I don't).
This is piss poor of someone that has been lauded here in the past.
I will be interested to see if a response is forthcoming.
