To think, for centuries, millions of people lived and died without ever knowing TV. You're really telling me that there's NOTHING you enjoy about it? Well, you can call me a simpleton if it makes you feel better, but I don't buy into this "I'm superior to you because I gave up my TV, you're all sheep for not agreeing with me" self-righteousness that you propagate. I watch TV. While there's a lot of crap, I still enjoy it sometimes. |

Quoting: in5d even though they support the divide and conquer principle, they're still entertaining although I'm repulsed by commercials Sports is a safe and harmless way to channel your innate tribalism. It's a tool created to stabilise society by channeling our innate tendencies in a way that causes minimum friction. Society is full of these tools, and we just act out our primal primal instincts in this channeled manner. |
7even User ID: 22010955 United Kingdom 11/20/2012 04:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I dig certain things off the net that are made by TV so I can't complain too much, plus culture however delivered has always had a broad range. What I find most worrying is the fact that people get up on a morning and immediately switch it on to drone incessantly in the background whether they are listening or not. This passive acceptance of everything they put out I find unnerving it's not so much the deteriorating quality, like I said cultures are always uneven in quality, it's just that parts of it are downright dangerous.

Would you offer that the internet is free from this 'mind control' that you seek to avoid from the television? All hail he who renounces the television! |

sssss User ID: 27834832 Australia 11/20/2012 05:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I haven't watched tv in 5 years, And wont look back. Now that i dont watch it, the subliminal messaging is astoundingly obvious. The whole time you are being pushed with fake financial propaganda, along with other mind numbing crap. Now i say that, but that doesnt mean i dont enjoy the occasional series, where a producer actually put effort into creating something worthwhile. But i will view these externally. THE CHANGE IS COMING! Spiritual Guidance, Spirit Guide communication, Shamanism & Kundalini. |

Quoting: Powerslave 18361837 Agree... Plus it helps to have a DVR/PVR so you can record what you wish to view and skip past all the commercials. For me the commercials are the worst element of the TV viewing experience because they are the driving force behind the unnecessary consumerism-based lifestyle and they serve to ingrain unwanted social mores (rules) in the subconscious of the viewer. |

Your mind means nothing in the scheme of things, as it is empty, as you await the universe to fill it. People who have no heart, have no rule over your mind, because they do not have the power to break it. |
