I have a greater level of ability to comprehend than you do obviously....

I also comprehend that your spirituality has to be legislated and that you have no way to control the works of your own flesh or to gird up your own mind or to think on the right things without a total prohibition and abstinence...

You are projecting some things onto me here unmeritoriously. I am convinced that people are going to do what people want to do. I don't support Pentecostal fascism. I believe that if people can find a conjunction of a moment of personal and spiritual clarity, and be presented with the facts and evidence of the agendas behind most television programming, they will decide that it is not only ungodly, but detracts from the bona fide goals of the overcoming Christian.

I comprehend that you cannot afford to watch those commercials because you have no self control....

I stand by my first statement using the word.

I finally comprehend that you started a sentence about my children but failed to finish it...

I realized what a waste of words the whole thing was, and was about to delete it, but at the last second submitted the reply anyhow.

Oh one more thing, I comprehend that you don't know jack squat about my children so I'd suggest you leave them out of this....

Your children, and mine, being less mature and self-aware, are more susceptible to the visual devices employed by marketers. And it isn't just toys they're selling.


I keep saying that the stuff has a lot of innuendo that is bad for man and boy alike, and some of you keep interpreting it to mean that I'm a TV nazi ready to smash sets and take names.

I keep saying that the internet shows you what you ask it to show you, and broadcast television incessantly pumps what they want to show you, and yet this is either ignored or not comprehended as well, evidenced by all the hollering about hypocrisy.


What is the goal of this thread? Are you hoping to persuade, be persuaded, find justification, or just be antagonistic?
