i have gone without it in the past, for extensive periods... 5 years, the last time around. now that I live in town and have others living in the house, majority rules. truthfully it would bother me more to give up the internet connection than cable.

I have not watched regular TeeVee since before my kid was born... now 15. When he was little he had no interest in it which was great, at his mothers he had nothing else to do but pretty much ignored it anyways. He still has no interest in TeeVee but knows the agenda from when he visits his mothers, says everything revolves around gays. Says most commercials are for drugs too.

We do watch TV but just for movies, never gore, horror or satanic crap.

...right on, Cebu! sounds like you have a good kid there... sounds like the result of positive parenting to me. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/smiley.gif

I think he might be on the weed, not sure how to approach it though. Really not sure what to do.

well, in all fairness, there's a lot worse stuff he could be on than weed...
weed in and of itself is pretty harmless, but obviously there is a time and place for everything. if you have a good rapport with him, then talk to him about it. if you don't want him doing it, then tell him so, but be sure to tell him why.

nothing pisses a kid off more than "because i said so"...

It totally is in every show, I'm sure of it. I was watching family guy last night, and during the "Parental guidance" warning, my big digital flatscreen tv was a pure white screen with a Teletoon logo in black, and it just paused on that logo for about 10 seconds. I felt drawn towards it, staring at it, and remembered this thread and tore my eyes away from it.

I seriously wouldn't be surprised if they were using that slot of opportunity to program a bunch of crap into our minds, just during the transition to and from commercial breaks.


I hate TV now. I only had it on last night because a buddy was over. Every show my wife watches, I can hear brainwashing and seed planting almost in EVERY SENTENCE. It's pretty fucking aggressive man. The programming is really aggressive. It's also very artistically crafty, the way they can write scripts that appear to be a sit-com or whatever, but effectively manipulate the dialogue into a non-stop "Mind programming" battering ram. Fucking Khazars make me sick.

I'm surprised they would use an entire word in one frame and risk getting caught. There are ways to animate it so that any single frame shows just dots but put together in succession they spell out the word. I wouldn't doubt if this lady's story has some people out there pausing their dvr frame by frame to see if its true.

How is it that nobody is recording and exposing this stuff?

imo, the sit-coms are the worst...it seems they wrap immorality in "humor" and by laughing at the scenario, we silently endorse or accept it. if we don't immediately follow that by mentally acknowledging the "wrongness" and immorality of the situation we just laughed at, our subconscious will accept it as "ok", and incorporate the necessary changes to our mindset...

i.e. hear joke about spousal abuse on sit-com, laugh at the shock value, then think "man, that is so wrong, i shouldn't be laughing" instead of the alternative which is basically accepting the spousal abuse as being "ok".

the subconscious doesn't know the difference, and will blindly follow whatever its programmed with.
