    I can't stand people who constantly need a tv on to watch or just to have as background noise or whatever. I like peace and quiet. The least you could do is turn it off when you leave a room!!!!!! Geez. So annoying.

    I always keep the television on for the light rather than having a room light on, but I keep the volume on the television at mute.

    I often find myself imagining swinging a hammer toward the television...

    Did television rape you or something?

    I like having it on as a background noise or source of light.
    It depends, sometimimes I like when it is completly quiet.

    you guys are hip hypocrites. Hip forums is tv too its all the same shit.
    85 percent of the time tv is a waste of time for me, i can always be way more productive playing video games or something.

    Television causes brain rot in large doses and/or long term use. Are you sure you wanna risk it for a little bit of low level light?

    So what? Maybe I just feel like wasting some time? What's wrong with wasting time? What's wrong with being not productive? Do we have to be productive 100% of our lives and always do something good, spend every second with so much care? What for?

    Btw, games are also waste of time.

    I love how hypocrites call others hypocrites.

    But this dim light is so nice... :D

    ya i was mostly taking a piss :p
    dont worry i love tv too. Just cant imagine how many years ive wasted watching the extenze commercial. Lol i havent seen that one in forever they go outa business?
    But ya truthfully i feel better when im winning at something rather than staring at shit. Its just an opinion. Depends what kind of drugs im on too of course.
    But ya i for one believe that you dont have to be productive to be happy. It may help. It may hurt it. But it comes down to what our own personal definition of what being productive is to you. For me the happier i feel the more productive ive been. Productive in living how you want to live lol.

    pfft ya rite. I was in rehab then a sober house for a combined 10 months. God damn that was a long time to wait to get high lol.
    Idk its like no matter what people say, in my head drugs are worth doing as long as theres self control and moderation. Drugs are a big motive for me to get a job too so one more reason they help.
    Anyway good to hear from ya glen hope things are goin graciously :)

    Agreed. My mother in law insists on always having the TV on. If you try to turn it off when she's half asleep, she'll instantly wake up and go "ohmygod what are you doing? Don't turn it off!" And yet she's always complaining about wastes of electricity.

    God forbid I can ever sleep without hearing TV shit in the background. I like utter darkness and silence when I go to bed.

    When I have it my way, I only have the TV on if I'm actively watching it, otherwise I turn it off.

    I had a lover who ran the t.v. all night...loudly...I hated that. I started putting in ear plugs. It's supposed to be dark and uneventful when you are sleeping. At his home, there were at least 2 televisions going constantly. We even came into the house when no one was there and the t.v.'s were going.

    My former mother-in-law rented two big console televisions and put them both in the same small living room. She played both of them loudly, on different channels. It used to drive me crazy to visit her. You had to shout over them. I was a nervous wreck by the time I left.
