Internet and TV

[ILG]

Well, I was going to post a poll with the thread I was going to start AND LOST so here's the poll anyway.

[ILG]

Okay, so after being mad for losing my original and thought out post, I'll put the jist of what I was tyring to say here.

I am not a legalist. I am not against advertising on TV. I don't think having a TV will send you to hell. But I don't have one. When we left the UPC, we got a TV to play videos on. We have never hooked up the TV part.

You almost have to have internet nowadays. But TV is different. If you have videos you pick and choose what you want to watch. With TV you get all that advertising.

I like it this way, personally.

Yes, I am a pants wearing, make-up wearing, jewelry wearing heathen.

But I still have internet but not TV.

There. I'm still MAD that I lost that!!

For the most part, I agree with you, but since videos are so readily available, and TV is so noisy and, in my opinion, offensive because it just throws whatever at you, I like to not have one. I'm not saying I would never get one, just that for now, I like the peace and quiet.

This is the difference between a conservative and a legalistic stance. A true conservative stance knows that the heart is the issue. A legalistic stance thinks that breaking a rule is the issue.

The funny thing is with the cost of cable so high I told my husband we could just get rid of cable and watch all the shows that we usually watch on our computer anyway. Some of them are free but even the ones that are not you can get netflix for 5.00 a month and watch them on your computer.

I rarely watch TV, just not much on there that interests me that's clean enough to watch. I do use the internet for nearly everything. I do all research, travel, communication, etc. on here. It's hard now to imagine what we did before Al Gore invented the web!

I hardly watch TV at all anymore since the little one arrived. I think I could do without except for baseball and football. I'm not ready to give up my sports yet.
