I was floored how obvious the control, hate and fear mongering is. Can't people see it??? Be honest, did you watch FOX News on your computer ;-) for the past 7 years instead??? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 14412047 So since my TV antenna is hooked to my computer and I watch everything on my LCD monitor does this mean I haven't watched TV since ... forever. Wow, does this help define me as a person? am I now what is considered an en-lighted man? I feel so good about me now that I had to stand five feet from the toilet to pee!!! I read the news from the networks on my computer, but no TV connection to the computer. Why would I ever need that crap? |

I was floored how obvious the control, hate and fear mongering is. Can't people see it??? In response to the OP, yes, it does shock how seriously the content that passes for TV entertainment has deteriorated over the past several years. I watch it rarely, with months between viewings and only in the past two years have I seen what can only be called torture soft porn on regular evening programming. Really sick stuff, and like porn, it is obvious that thin plots are put in place to generate insanely stupid excuses for these displays. Sad to see the country has fallen into such extreme depravity. Someone must be watching this junk or who would air it? |

I was floored how obvious the control, hate and fear mongering is. Can't people see it??? I stopped watching TV over 7 years ago out of disgust about what trash was being shown. Since then I surf the web or watch movies on my computer. I was in a motel with no Internet access last night and I turned the TV on for the first time out of boredom. I was just amazed, no actually beyond amazed. The fear, hate and control was almost beyond belief. So called reality shows with burned out actors being made to break down on camera. Sex, crime and hate on all channels. The news was the worst. Quoting: 1123581321 Please understand. I am not a fundamentalist nut or a prude. I grew up with TV like everyone else. I stopped watching because I got sick of the BS, but TV today is simply beyond belief. My point of this thread is that the change to our world comes so slowly, we are tricked into not noticing the changes. This was the best proof that I have had in a long time that the world really is heading toward a cosmic singularity point very soon. I was completely floored by what people are subjected to 12 hours a day, especially children. No wonder people feel so afraid, angry and panicked. I would be in panic myself if I watched that every day! Please, please stop and realize what is being done to you and your family. Peace No you wouldn't be in a panic. You're obviously aware television is a big load of horse shit being shovel fed to the zombies who can't think for themselves. You're obviously one who does think for himself. Once you tune out of television it's really difficult to get back in. It's hard to explain but I've stopped watching T.V. but my fiance sometimes has it on. If I'm in the other room and can even hear it I find myself shaking my head. It's all programming, teaching ridiculous principles and incorrect ideas. +1 |

Honestly, if you're aware of the b.s, and the crap, and the propaganda, then you should easily be able to disregard it and enjoy other aspects of the show. This is coming from someone who is sometimes critical of the filming/video recording aspect and seeing how they run the show, and within that analysis the sheep level crap is found. Only Then, can one think that there are probably a lot of people that fall for the script, which in that case, I can only hope that there are others that are above the influence. The best way to beat their game is to KNOW their game, know what they're trying to inflict upon you, rise above it and enjoy your fucking show. Personally, I prefer comedy and political satire. |

Friedrich Nietzsche if I did not feel so sad as I look at them. Sad because they do not know the truth and I do know it. Oh, how hard it is to be the only one who knows the truth! But they won't understand that. No, they won't understand it." --from The Dream of a Ridiculous Man (1877) |

I was floored how obvious the control, hate and fear mongering is. Can't people see it??? You have channel options. No one is forcing you to watch terrible shows. You have to sift through until you see something worthy. Same thing I tell people who bitch about the radio? Scan through it until you find music you like, or just turn it off and use your own purchased music. People act like everything should be the way they want it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 13676062 You seem to have missed the ENTIRE point! How? Whatever they are doing with television in terms of brainwashing (or whatever) is only effective by the actions of those who willingly choose to watch television. We have choices. We are humans. None of us are being forced to be brainwashed. You have nothing to blame but yourselves. It's time to take full responsibility for your actions. Everyone knows that shitty television isn't good for their mind. People know that fast food and junk food are bad for their health. People still do it anyway! So who cares? Those complaining have a choice. I get the point, but my point overshadows it. You mad? I must say, fast food is bad but it affects people differently. Stupid tv is bad, but it affects people differently. Be stronger. |

Apparently I misunderstood when you mentioned "channel options" - because I see ALL of it as terrible and the only option being don't even turn it on. “If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you." - Job 12:7,8 "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." - Hunter S.

Didn't actually go into how many options we really have. LOL |
