I write articles for a prepper website and there are prepper ads for supplies on there. I, however, have enough will power, as apparently you don't, not to click on those websites and buy, however, if I needed a certain supply, I might click on such an ad. That is called individual choice, freedom of choice. If ads “make you buy”, then perhaps you would benefit from “impulsive buying” counseling.
The owner of Free Republic does not allow ads on this website. If he did, he would make a lot more money just for giving them permission to place ads on here.
If ads bother you, just close out the website. There will be an “X” in the upper right, just click that and the ad page will disappear and you didn't buy anything. Let your finger do the clicking and you money is safe from the evil website.
As a postnote, we have a gun club about a quarter mile behind the house. Someone built a housing addition right next to it. Nobody expected many people to move in but they've filled it up but darn if not almost every family, usually the mom, gets mad at having a gun club (shotguns) because it's way too noisy and too dangerous and how will their kids ever survive? Many residents suspected that they could get a petition and get rid of the club. Turns out the club was grandfathered and couldn't be forced to move. They tried to be good neighbors by selling and going further out in the country (they used to be miles from everywhere just 10 years ago) but the cost to clean up the lead would have been over $1,000,000 to the developer. The people who own it are from my church and making a fine income from it.
