What you posted was unsubstantiated and unverifiable rubbish. To call it 'newsworthy' is an example of uncritical thinking and passive acceptance. We would all be better served if you contrasted that feeble excuse of a 'newsworthy' article with something something like this. The difference between these two articles is immense and reflect just how devoid in facts and analysis the 'item' you referenced is.
To retort with false and feigned claim of antisemitism is a deceptive and misleading tactic. It is designed to terminate all discussion and redirect attention from the irrefutable fact of real and significant Jewish influence in US elections and policy. We would be better served if you attempted to refute this fact instead of parroting a worn out political tactic. For example read this article and then think long and hard before responding again with another feeble cry of antisemitism.

From this point on I will not bother to dignify your rambling postings with a response.

Again, you appear unprepared, unwilling or unable to offer anything in the way of a credible response.
If you post unsubstantiated and unverifiable information, with no attempt on your part to be objectively critical of that information, then you should expect to be challenged on it.
You are blindly willing to accept unsubstantiated news items that, until proven otherwise, really constitute nothing more than propaganda against Russia. You are also blindly willing to ignore the real and pervasive Jewish influence in US policy. Why is this?
I do not make any statements that I am not prepared to support with well researched references. So here is a challenge for you. If you can prove your point that the statements I have made and information I have provided is antisemitic then I will agree to stop posting any and all comments at CodeProject. This is your chance to make certain I never post another comment at CodeProject. Will you have this exchange with me?
[Edit] If we have this exchange then we will let Chris decide if I have violated the terms of agreement at CP. If he decides in your favor then I will stop posting comments at CP.

Since you haven't bothered to even try to substantiate your asinine claims with a link, the onus is upon you to back your statements with verifiable sources, not on Cornelius. He/she at least provided a link to a source; you haven't responded in kind. If you intend to engage in a battle of wits, I would advise you to bring some ammunition; you don't appear to have any.
By the way, in case you missed the memo, the Lounge does not allow political debates; we have a Soapbox forum for that, and I suggest that you spend more time there.

First, I am going to assume you did not read my references and so will not respond to the initial part of your response.
Second, I agree that political discussions should not be tolerated in the Lounge. Why are you reprimanding me when Corelius was the one to broach this exchange?

how many of you block ads?
I am increasingly finding that access to links from the Daily News are denied and the content replaced by "you are using an adblocker". My reaction generally is to leave and not bother with the info so it feels like shooting themselves in the foot
I am actually not using an adblocker but just have an extensive hosts file. Primarily to try and protect from sites that I don't want to end up at even accidentally
Do you agree that if people buy ads that they have a right to make you see them?
and if you do, how many of you skip the ads on your video recorder?

I'm not opposed to the idea, I appreciate that people need money to find their sites, however over time adverts have become so disruptive to the viewing experience, draining on the browser performance, and worse still ad networks have been proven to be bad at keeping bad agents from their services and the point at which I decided to start using an ad blocker was when a particular site I used would 1 time out of 10 direct me to a "THE FBI KNOWS YOU'RE A PAEDO, CLICK HERE TO PROTEST YOUR INNOCENCE" site. Being annoyed is one thing but being exposed to malware is something else.
I disable it for YouTube though as I want to support the people who make the channels I enjoy and if it's a channel I really enjoy who doesn't have millions of subs I usually don't even skip the adverts.

I do not but this topic has been here before and I can tell you a lot of people do. I find it odd that software developers in particular are OK with blocking ads. We, of all people, should understand the need for a website to earn money and blocking their ads is stealing because you get the content without paying for it.
I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority here. Granted, I don't go to sites that have lots of ads. If someone here links to a site with lots of ads that lock up my browser, I just close the site and move on. Most sites, that I go to, do not run enough ads to be a bother.

Yes; but we should also understand the need to keep our computers free of malware. Even if you know in advance which ad network a site is using, which network do you trust to never be tricked into publishing malvertising?

Presumably you watch every second of every ad-break on free-to-air TV channels, then? Or does fast-forwarding through the ads not count as "stealing" their content?

Sure. Don't click bad ads. Have security software.

No, I do not fast-forward. I have netflix. Never had a DVR. But even that is different. When you go to a website, do you leave it for 30 seconds so that the commercials can air and then come back to it when they are done?

Because there have never been bad ads that don't require you to interact with them, right?

A great service, but it's not "free-to-air". It's one of the few examples of "pay for it any we won't show you ads" actually being applied.

No, because the ads are blocked. But presumably you do? After all, it's "stealing" if you don't watch the ads. And click on them. And buy something.
