TV watching as a lifestyle. What do you think of the affects?

The last one year I watched so many movies, I totally lost count. Average 5-10 a week.


My flatmate watches movies and series (friends, x-files, that70s show, south park, black adder......... a lot more) AVERAGE 4-6 HOURS A DAY. I also joined him 2-3 days a week, since I really coudn't do else in winter.


I know several people that live the same and even, when they come to our place, the only thing they want to do is watch a movie.





Do you know people, that watch TV this much?


What affect you think it has on their (our) lives?

TV watching as a lifestyle. What do you think of the affects?
Television is not cool...no...Those who create television shows the majority of the time have some kind of psychology degree and they're more interested in manipulating you in some manner rather than educate you or give you pleasurable viewing...Control-control...that's all that television is here on this planet...It's an invention of basically less than 75 years...for the greater part of that most stations being government owned or controlled...Television, most of the time is very bad for an individual...People wasting living years and hours of days in front of the television being constantly manipulated be people...That's the problem, the greater majority of the population never had access to one and then all of a sudden there was a boom...especially in post war years...people should be out there living and communicating...they entice you with they're can you relate to this and that ...when in fact you're being manipulated by government psychologists who want a mind-frame for their region...Television is terrible and I don't like it much.

There's a huge effect! Actually last night i was watching Dr. Phil and one mother have this addiction on Reality TV's and what she's doing is she cannot prepare food for her family, sometimes she can, but she's always in a hurry 'coz her show will start. Her family complains esp. the husband as they cannot spend quality time together.





I think, its not bad to watch TV as long as you can maintain Balance. Do your tasks, like homeworks, chores, etc. before watching TV. Sometimes we didn't know that we are affecting some lives of our loved ones. Some people was stucked watching movies and they don't exercise, They get BIG.





As of me, I have time from 7:00-11:00, and that's it...
