History channel. The learning Channel. There are many that are informative. Do you all preach against getting the newspaper too? Many have very innocuous commercials. I avoid those commercials just like when I go to a website and not look at the commercials. Or just like I listen to the news on the radio and not listen to the commercials...or read a magazine or whatever.

Everything serves a purpose. But if it's wrong at all, why compromise? You've learned to discern between what content on the Internet you will allow and what you won't. Same can be done with TV

That is the funniest typo I have seen in a while. I do them all of the time but they aren't funny usually. Just stupid.

I think you meant "whetting"

There are other channels and yes some would. How much do they pay for the internet to go to the few forums and argue with other people?

Not only that with just an atennae you can get some channels that are very educational. I have seen lessons on painting and other things. What people want to do with their money is their business, be it a cell phone with bells and whistles, TV, Internet...a computer with a DVD player etc etc....what is more important is they be trained to know to resist the bad and choose the good

I saw that later.

I have another question, since you mentioned TV and entertainment...you don't think entertainment is wrong do you? How about computer games?
