Television Conspiracy

[Rayder]

Is it just me, or did every single television station in the nation change it's lineup on some shows on Monday?

[TekDragon]

TV sucks anyway. Only good thing on is History Channel, CSPAN(1+2), and sometimes Fox News.

To be honest, other than history channel - i don't think i've watched TV for close to a year. You should try it.

[firecrackerNC]

I totally disagree with you.I always watch TV,only thing to do in this boring ass town.Even when I go to hang out with friends we get so bored we end up watching TV.The only thing to do in this lil boring town is at night goto parties and/or cosmo bowling.During the day theres nothing BUT TV.

[Hamma]

There are only a couple shows I like, and they are drama's.

I fucking hate sitcoms, they all have the same storylines.

1. News
2. Political Debate
3. Take summer classes/work
4. Sex
5. Get a good RTS game, game that requires thought and skill.
6. Drugs
7. Build stuff (go-kart, potato guns, etc) or rebuild stuff (motorcycles, cars)
8. READ A FUCKING BOOK!

Plenty of stuff to do, you just need to find it. TV rots your mind. Anything is better than TV for your mind, even suggestion #6.

[Infernus]

I let my moniter fry my brain cells... only shows I watch on TV are Stargate: SG1, Star Trek (TNG and Enterprise), and a few shows on history channel. Will probably watch Stargate: Atlantis as well when that starts...

[Triggar]

TV is good when you've had a brain-frying day of class, work, flight, more work and you're bored with the intarweb and just want to zone out for a bit.

Like last night, I zombied out in front of the television. I was watching the Discovery Channel - that show Mythbusters is God's apology for war and strife - and there was this show where they constructed a robot of a grizzly bear, with jaws and claws that recreated the pressure exerted by a real bear. It was awesome.

So yeah, I don't watch television very much at all - probably just one/two hours a week, and it's only when my brain can't handle any more reading or learning or working.

[Hamma]

TV is also good for porn.

[Infernus]

TV is also good for porn.

But not Hamma porn...

[JetRaiden]

TV is also good for porn.

:lol: ....I discovered that last summer while coming across the curiously titled "Planet of the Playmates"

the only thing that matters in the TV industry to me is that Family Guy is coming back next spring, and Im gonna have 22 more episodes to memorize.

[Indecisive]

Bah, tv pron costs too much.

I pretty much just watch adult swim on cartoon network right before I head to sleep. I rarely watch it. Maybe the news on occassion, but thats about it.

10. pick up a hobby, skateboarding, rollerblading and such

[Angel_of_Death]

#11. Get outside and play a sport. Or just go outside and chill with your friends. It's summer, wtf you shouldn't be debating what there is to do inside.

Oh, TV does not rot your mind, not if you watch anything worth watching.

[Dharkbayne]

12. Eat more cake and masturbate. It works for EVERY problem.

[Rayder]

You guys suck. Answer my topic.

[TekDragon]

We did. It's all in your head. TV has warped you into a mindless zombie. Turn it off and go read a book.

[Rayder]

I bet I read more books than anyone here.

[TekDragon]

I bet you don't. The fact that you spend so much time watching TV proves it.

Regardless, this isn't a penis competition.

[Triggar]

I spend time watching television, and yet I read on average of 3 books a week.

Oh, and I go to class, and work, and fly, and have studying and homework that needs doing.

Time management's a lovely thing, eh.

[Rayder]

I bet I do, and how the fuck do you know how much T.V. I watch? You have cameras installed in my house? Fucking electricity thief, I'll see you in court. Also, assumptions are bad. Don't make them.

[Triggar]

Let's all be the bigger person and instead of replying to the hate being spewed (we've all experienced this before), let's ignore it.

Boycott the hate! Save the empire!

Indeed :D I hate reading unless it's a good book .. then i get into it but i can say i have never read 3 books in one week :p

yes. they are out to get you.

[ChewyLSB]

The only books I read are Historical Fiction (mostly World War II, sometimes Civil War) and science fiction...

[Onizuka]

I love programs on space... and other educational programs. I don't know why. News just aggrevates me. Most of the time i leave the TV on all the time and never watch it..like now.

[TekDragon]

Ok, i'll drop the "I read more than all of you!" bait and continue with the discussion. Don't need Triggar and Oni starting a cry fest on me just for responding to an idiotic post.

Best advice you can get is to find ONE author you enjoy reading, then go on the internet and type in his name. You'll find fan club websites that contain other authors that are good. I've found at least half a dozen good authors this way.

Spending a half a day at a bookstore browsing through back covers is another good way, but i'm sure your too busy watching TV for that. ;)

[Hezzy]

I don't really watch much TV. The only programs I really watch are Stargate and The Simpsons.

Sky only shows re-runs of both atm, so that sucks abit.

[TekDragon]

Stargate is ok, if your dieing of boredom. I just wish they'd bring back Sliders.

[Triggar]

MythBusters on the Discovery Channel (I think) is kick-ass. They tested out the idea of using a bullet as a fuse in your car, and shot up their dummy. They also shot a hole through a pressurized aircraft cabin to see if it would rapidly decompress and suck everything out - it didn't - but then they blew a hole in the airplane to MAKE it rapidly decompress.

That show pwns.

[Sputty]

There's a left wing jewish conspiracy
HBO really stands for hebrew box office

:rofl: Those guys are NOT right .. I enjoy watching that show. I liked the one they did on pulling the axle out from under the police car. These guys enjoy their work .. perhaps a little too much. :p
