[Tfug] Politics, Religion, trolls and Linux

[Steve]

We have a TV in the living room and one in the bedroom.  They are never on except for the occasional movie, maybe once a month, and the mother-in-law has to have it blaring when she visits once a year.  Most of our time in front of a screen is due to Internet use.  My wife and I do all our news online, we bank and pay the bills, email, I do homework and read blogs, so we are on the computer as much as most people are in front of the television.  Except for Daily Show videos it is all reading, so it may be slightly better than the tube, but I sometimes think I still spend too much time here....

That funny!  We gave our TV and home theater to Goodwill about 6 weeks ago.  I missed it at first.I do not know how I got along spending 3 hours a day either watching or looking for something to watch.  My wife feels the same way.We used to sit in front of the TV stuffing our faces with junk we did not need.As a result of no TV, I am accomplishing more, reading more, loosing weight, and my mind is becoming clearer and my retention is higher.Go Figure ..... I now know why they call it the boob tube! Ronald Sutherland <rsutherland at epccs.com> wrote: We are people with points of view, and thats a simple fact. I do not try to offend but sometimes do for that I would like to apologize.I have not watched TV in a few years, except the random trip to see my brother, or parents. I am sensing a lot of hate both in list, at work and almost every place. I'm guessing its emanating from the TV programing everyone is getting feed, I suggest turning it off and putting the TV in the landfill. 
Nothing you see on TV will help you deal with the world, just turn it off, and spend a few years doing things to reset all the programing. The bad news is if we all stop watching TV there will be 6.5 billion channels to tune into, rather than the few we now have. On the other hand it may be the heat, so again I'm sorry for yet another off topic post._______________________________________________Tucson Free Unix Group - tfug at tfug.orgSubscription Options:http://www.tfug.org/mailman/listinfo/tfug_tfug.org------------------------Keith Smith(480) 584-4772PHP Programming       ---------------------------------Fussy?
