(4,407 posts)Turn off your TV. In fact, do yourself a favor and shoot your TV. TVs exist to turn you into a consumer. That's how they make their money. Also, it turns out that if they can make you mad, you'll be more hooked and more likely to continue watching and feeding off of the anger, all while they feed off of you.

(4,452 posts)Just turn off the commercial bullshit and mabey watch some old movies or TV shows. How about giving it to someone who can't afford to buy one that could entertain their kids watching old movies?
You can watch TV without becoming a consumer of commercial BS and it can be a useful tool who don't have the money to provide that access point, and it is much better than planting in it some land fill somewhere.
Since I'm of Scot-Irish heritage, I don't throw anything away. I've got stuff in the basement and garage that my grandfather couldn't throw away!
I'm sure I'll find a use for it some day.

they are likely to spew it -- it's the deliberate Republicon Lie du jour.
Maher FAILed.

(45,319 posts)subscription fees by name. Barf. Hacks, burned out and newly bloomed but hacks the both of them. And PJ, another of those 'always drunk 'cause I think it is cute' types.
And Bill, who will whine and jab at a person for eating a turkey sandwich supports the blood sport loving and promoting Cupp? Unreal.

(7,784 posts)Tom Colicchio did an excellent job with her - he kept saying "That's just silly" and dismissing her talking points rather than engage with her. It seemed to shut her up.
