Television....the sin of all sins

I prefer to read...though I do like to take in a movie from time to time.

 

I would get things done and not get distracted or procrastinate if I stop watching tv. it will make me productive for sure because I would be doing things to ease the boredom of doing nothing.

That being said, leave TV alone!

 

BUT WITHOUT TV FLAPJACK IS NO MORE!!!

Slant, if you haven't see this show yet, you HAVE to watch it.

My daughter loves this show...

 

Flapjack is AMAZING! It is pretty much my favorite show!

 

+1

 

I usually watch movies. I avoid most tv shows (with some exceptions) like the plague.

I do like some channels though (discovery, history, etc). I still think that reading is probably better, but it's usually easier to watch something and follow along.

 

Advertising is evil, not TV.

 

It's not evil. Mostly annoying and insulting people's intelligence, I grant that.

I don't watch that much TV. Used to, though, in my teens and quite a lot. I could even say that TV taught me most of the things I know to a certain degree. Now I either lack the time or interest. Whole seasons of shows on DVD's are made exactly for me, so that I could obsess over them for a couple of weeks and not for years.

 

No, it is.

 

I guess I've risen above it. Or I'm already too evil to the core to let it affect me.

 

Admirations.

True.

They should burn. Wait, they already do. Well, most of them should.

Me and TV didn't get along. First, we didn't have a good TV-receiver, so I didn't care and just played outside with the other kids. Second, I could afford good TV already, but didn't care anymore. Problem solved.

 

I would not say that Television is evil, however it does allow for a quick and easy route for the dissemination of propaganda, of course an insurmountable amount of other things we are exposed to can also disseminate propaganda. In the end it is how one uses Television I suppose

 

And I usually consider you a man of good taste...

 

I know the slant, what you are trying to say? And where it points?

Actually, you know what our mind grasps, whatever we see. If you see some good news, discussion related to success, then your mind will talk the language of success. because you had fed data of success in your mind. Now time will pass, you will chant and it will go in your subconscious mind.

Now when you see main stream news, they are mostly full of negativity.See and watch carefully, you will find lot of negative materials. So if you stop watching tv, it is better for your mental health. Because it is real danger to see those negative images and let your mind grasp those horrible scenes.

You can use your tv for entertainment like music or any movie. There is no danger. Most people don't understand this thing.

Use your TV in meaningful manner. Not in time wasting.

 

opiate for the masses

mostly garbage

i decided to stop watching tv over the past year or so...
the longer i do without it, the more i realize how lame it is

i hate to see a glowing box completely consume the minds of a room full of people

i so often see my family sitting in front of the tv in silence, perhaps abandoning countless meaningful conversations and possible interactions with people that actually exist.

so many people choose to submit their lives to this thing

i think the world would be a better place without it

 

We don't watch television--too boring, predictable, annoying and passive. We do have ten computers in the house, though.

 

Yes, it can be somewhat predictable at times



Indeed, to see people obsess over television programmes is disturbing but there are some positive aspects of television as the news and information disseminated, even though by definition it can at times be viewed as propaganda, can be conducive to people developing an intellectual side. In the end, it is the duty of the individual utilising the television to do as such in a moderated manner.
