lately when eva i watch tv it get so boreing all i see when i watch it is people acting and i just cant folow the story i can basicly see them just standin there reading words its shit. could my excess of weed be doin this?
i mostly only watch HD stuff now, and most of the HD stuff is fairly educational, so at least im learning somthing saw a crazy Discovery channel special on Tokyo's Bullet train
how about you just don't watch tv? it's a brainrot tranquilizer, & it's called programming for a reason.
tv in general sucks. but it has its place in our world and i dont think its evil. its not that hard to not watch it. oh except! there is one thing television does thats horrible. whenever there is a group situation and teh tv is turned on, the whole situation becomes drastically less social, as attention is diverted to teh screen. people can still communicate but they are all hooked to the screen. its an interesting phenomenom. its not like music or something. in order to consider tv you have to pay attention to it.
I think TV is harmful for our minds, I think it helps us become lazy and less creative. I don't think little kids should watch TV at all, I wouldn't want my kids to. GO OUTSIDE!
you could say the same about the internet.. but i dont see you stopping... I'm not saying im pro TV.. but like Bill said.. it has its place... some channels are great.. like The Discovery Channel.. TLC use to be great until it became all these reality shows and shit.. TLC is like the MTV of the educational TV network... channels like PBS are great for child programming.. excluding TeleTubbiies.. lets not even go there.. but overall PBS i've seen has had some amazing.. educational children programs... same with Nick.. I think its great that they have programs that are bi-lingual... just gotta filter out the shit.. just don't let your kid sit infront of the tube and watch whatever.. but anywho... the TV can be a great learning tool when used correctly.. just like any other mass media product
This is true but some times fallowing a show with a group of friends can be fun, esspcialy shows that make you think what will happen next, then you can talk about it ans see who wasr right. T.V. is a great tool its jsut not used to its full potential, and is abused. (some people watch it all day.)Same goes for the internet.
If you watch tv when you could be spending that time bettering yourself and the lives of people around you, then congratulations. One step closer to liberation lol
Haha, every one needs sooome time to just veg out, some people seam to do it way to much though IMO. I mean I love to read and study stuff for school and on my own. I'm also love being out side, but some times after a long day/week nothing sound better to me than a cold beer and some TV. Besides if nothing good is on I can always turn n the news and laugh. The shows I usualy watch are Sopranos and The shiled, I recod them so I can watch them when ever I'm not busy. I also like our local Detroit TV they have some crazy Documeneris on there, stuff that puts Discobery and National Geographic to shame. My bigest time waster is Videogames though... Sometimes I can't help my self.
I always enjoy tv/movies more when im not high. Me and a friend smoked tough then went and saw 300. I was bored to death the entire time. Couldnt take it seriously at all. It was just a dumb movie, a few scenes were cool but naaa. What i do when i smoke weed is Listen to MUSIC MUSIC AND LOTS OF MORE MUSIC =D
When I saw 300, it was actually scary... I was like.. halfway laughing, asking myself "wtf", and managing to follow it. When he pushed that guy off the ledge, I was like "oh shit, I'm falling" haha... I just smoked before and then ran into friends that invited me, on my way home. I tire of tv easily... I like to watch shows that are real... not reality shows, but non-fictional things. Documentaries, cooking shows, I don't care. I like to see some acting and I've always enjoyed acting, myself. Depends on my mood. Right now, Scrubs is on... but I'm not really following it. I feel like turning it off, which is what I'm about to do. I'm thinking about going to Virginia Beach or somewhere. Either way, I'm getting out of here today. Shit, maybe I should go fishing. But where?!?!?... too many places to choose from and I don't feel like changing my tackle.
I don't normally watch tv all that often. I'm usually outside or doing something else. If I do watch tv though, it's usually the Food Network, Discovery Channel, Comedy Central, or Travel Channel. The educational stuff mostly lol. I used to watch MTV but it made me bored to death because the shows on there are so ridiculous anymore.
Tv's the bomb, yo. Prison Break, 24, Lost, Carnivale, Deadwood, Heroes. Oh yes, I like the long running TV shows.
