OT Turning off the TV in 2009

<n5hsr · 2008-04-20T00:46:26+00:00

On Feb 17, 2009, I'm not converting to Digital TV. As bad as the programs are, commercials are even worse. I would literally have to block EVERY channel in order to have TV that I feel young children could watch. What's bad is commercials for ladies products, birth control and 'get-it-up' pills for the guys. This seems to be OK in every time slot, including what used to be called "prime time".We have become a nation of sheeple. The 'common' people of yore, that used to have some common sense, are mostly gone.The Baby Boom Generation was summed up by the greatest Man who ever lived31And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? 32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. 33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. 34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! 35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.John 7:31-35Charles the Curmudgeon

It is so totally brainless to sit like zombies, glued to the TV..like the majority in the Western world, unfortunately, being fed pap.

I repeat. Those WITH LIVES do NOT sit glued to the TV for hours every week. Surely someone with your education would realize this. And, no, 99% of the drones do NOT sit glued for hours watching educational TV.
