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.

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.

We have both, but we generally record the shows that we want to watch and do not channel surf much at all. We look through the menu about once a week and set the stuff up to record that looks interesting. With everything recorded, we fast forward through the commercials anyway. I find that it stays off a lot more often unless I am really just trying to unwind and get all the work thoughts out of my head.

That would work too. It would be very similar to watching videos.

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.
