Nice Smile

Fringe is back in March Sad

V is also away till the 4th of march, and Flashforward until the 30th of March - although Flashforward is becoming very boring very quickly.

Too much TV, non-reality is the domain of Satan, you know.

Read a book.

Another entirely unjustified opinion forced forward with the self-righteousness we have all come to expect from you Pip.

How i chose to entertain myself is of absolutely no concern of yours, so kindly, fuck off.

I'm not trying to tell you what to do.

Just that we have all heard about how evil cannot be true, and that evil by it's nature is a perversion of the truth. TV is in it's entirety a non-reality, and so by that basis is evil.

I am far less self-righteous than most others, so it's funny for you to call me that.

How you choose to entertain yourself is your business, and what I think of your lifestyle is mine.

Some of us are on this planet with a sense of duty. It is beyond offense to assume that we are here to be entertained. I personally have work to do, keep watching though, you might miss the coercion. you ever wonder why they happen to call it programming? Heh Smile

I like when people say that they consider hypnosis a pseudo-science. I always ask if they watch TV. They never get it though...

There is a difference between "perversion of the truth" and "fiction". Not all television is a perversion of the truth (although I agree, some is). A lot of TV is fiction, and from the outset it makes sure you know that this isn't in any way claiming to be truthful.

Otherwise you could take your argument and apply it to half of a library. Let's burn the books Pippy! Burn them all!!!

There is the ability for non-reality to be positive, so keep the books.

I am just astounded that when someone asks "What are you looking forward to?" almost all of you mentioned some TV show or another. We are complex living beings on a fascinating planet. There is a wealth of learning available, there are other people who need a hand. There are experiences, and important causes, and kind actions, and interesting adventures. Life is miraculous. But you guys are looking forward to the most? Out of all the fantastic possibilities? A tv show.

It is not non-reality that makes it evil, it is is substitution for reality. Go talk to a real human, make a new friend. Tv rots your brain, didn't your momma tell you...
