How do you feel if you are using a computer in a public place, and you |
|
review the web browser history and see that it's filled with wingnut sites?
This is a common occurence where I am. rushlimbaugh, drudge, etc. etc. Sometimes I click through a few and am amazed by the hate and anger that oozes off the pages.
In a small way, it makes me feel like I'm reading the secret journal of some kind of criminal, their demented musings.

Last time I used a public computer was at the library almost five years ago...but you can be sure I'll be thinking of this next time I use a public computer.

At least wash your hands before touching food or small children...no telling WHERE those freeper fingers were!

6. I'd be half tempted to add a few entries into the hosts file |

7. I'm in a damn dirty liberal haven... |
|
and go to a damn liberal school, so I've never had that experience (since school is the only place I might use a public computer, if I don't have my lappy with me)
But apparently we do have a healthy College Republicans group...in Chicago of all places! I remember during the election they had a table set up in the cafeteria with one lonely guy with a Bush/Cheney '04 sticker on the back of his laptop. No one even looked in his direction! He ended up picking up and walking away. :rofl:
