In surveys 60% of Americans insist they want their government and mass media to lie to them "for their own good", one five insists the sun revolves around the earth and Jesus will return in their lifetime, while the rest complain about the public education system. In decades of asking online the simple distinction between a lynch mob and a democracy I have yet to hear the correct answer and half of them tell me they are suspicious of dictionaries despite being totally clueless that dictionaries merely contain the most popular definitions of words. My TV cost me $20.oo at an SPCA sale and I think I wasted my money.
Nice to see so much people that doesn't like the tv or watch it. In Sweden we call it "dumburk" which means "stupid can". I kind of like that.. the same with what some english-talking ppl call it, idiot box. That is the proper name of a television because what's on it? What does it give us? A false reality, an escape from the world, it alters our true will and is a marketing tool for the society and it's darn culture.
i recently got a part time job, ans had this conversation with a customer... he was ranting about hearing a paticular price on tv that we weren't advertising. he looks to me and goes, didn't you see the commercial?! and i responded, i don't watch tv. he looks incredulous and says, what do you mean you don't watch tv!? i say, i make the decision to not watch tv. i could see his little lemming brain snap, to which he only responds, how do you watch the game!? to which i respond, i don't. his brain explodes.
I get tired of people asking me if I have seen the game..hell no I have not seen the game..what game?
I watch Dr. Who occasionally... I find it helps me keep my creativity up. I play guitar during the commercials. Other than that, my world has no TV And you know, I'm even moving away from that. I only watch the new stuff anymore... which means I won't bother turning on the TV until the middle of the year. No biggie. Soon enough I doubt I'll watch any. It really isn't necessary
Up To About 7 Years Here, Doubt Iv'e Missed Much, And I Couldn't Watch It If I Wanted Because We Went Digital Here About 2 Years Ago And None Of My Sets Including The Plasma Can Receive The Digital Signal... Cheers Glen.
