Has anyone else killed their tel-lie-vision ?

how brainwashed I was until I got rid of the TV 9 years ago

Bought a 'Two out at a time' Movie Pass from Blockbuster so I can watch only what I want to watch. I was at my sister's house last year when she had the TV on. It gave me a headache and made me dizzy. I am so glad I unplugged the tube.

I grew up in a typical American household with a television. But when I went to college 30 years ago (MIT) I was too damn busy to watch any TV. After I got out I saw no reason to pick up the habit again so have never owned a television.

I own a nice stereo, a high end computer, and hundreds and hundreds of books. But no TV. Nobody ever goes to his deathbed wishing he had watched more television.

I still like to check the occasional piece of satire to break the depressive NWO agenda happening around me. Funniest shows are ABCBSNBSFOX news that pretend they are talking about important issues that we all care about. Cracks me up. But then I get all depressed again the next day when people are talking about them like they are real and important. Reminds me of the Colbert WH correspondence dinner where 90% there didn't even seem to realize he was being satirical.

I don't miss TV at all and have become quite sensitive to it ... for example: when at a friends house, if the TV is on, I find it very annoying and unpleasant. The friends are numb to it, however, to them it's just "background noise".

There have only been a half-dozen times I would have watched if I was hooked up.

consists of the same old reruns.

I DO wonder about the penguin though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwTqC2T6q4E

Re-reading 1984, and next will be the Fountainhead. I sometimes listen to radio, exercise regularly and eat healthy food. I feel much better. You Tube is as close as I get to TV.

TV is trash.
Note the alliteration.

Me. It's pure garbage.

Haven't had cable since 2000. And I'm still alive and kicking. Haven't watched tv since the switch. I have a computer that has audio/video capability. And access to an endless stream of national and international information.

Besides if I like the show, I can buy or rent the DVD. Do I miss sports? That's what online subscriptions are for. Do I miss anything else. Nope.

Haven't had one for many years.

but I'm not in a hurry to resuscitate.

Damn straight!

I think you guys will like my book. In it, the television is basically the "main bad-guy" (although it also argues that, if we were to wrestle control of our media back ala DailyPaul and independent news sites, it could be the strongest weapon in OUR arsenal against tyranny).

Anyone having trouble throwing theres out should just listen to the red hot chili peppers song - "Throw away your television" :D

I still have mine but literally never watch it. Maybe if I fix something to eat in the middle of the night I will catch an old episode of Married with Children or something. Occasionally a movie, lately 1984 and demolition man came on which I watched. Besides that all the channels are pure horse manure. It is quite funny hearing the history channel talk about 'conspiracy theories'...after every few sentences they say in this odd voice something like ..."Could it be true.....?" and not to mention the word conspiracy thrown in about 650 times during one show to connect it with the topic for the viewer. Oh and I really enjoy the new age science channel and the GREEN network, it really helps me control my carbon output. Oh and that last sentence was sarcasm folks

We are The Remnant

And wonder how I ever tolerated it.

at the end of the month which means no more TV in the remote area in Colorado for me. :)

I spent the week end in KC, KS with the person I was staying with had a digital TV box and had broadcast TV, at times you could actually hear some feedback through the box.
It makes me wonder.

We had only seen movies on VHS and DVD for 20 years. Over the last two years, since becoming hooked on Ron Paul.... I've watched more "television" via YouTube than I have in 22 years!
