1. You need to see the infomercial for the Ronco Whine Canceller.

2. Me Too

I keep the remote close at hand so I can mute manually

3. If there was just a 9/11 mute button

that would shut up about 90% of them.

4. Awww,,,,,,, you don't mean that!

The Repubs are the fun ones to listen to! Much more entertaining to listen to crazy rambling lies and disinformation!

5. simple solution:

1. throw your tv in the dumpster

2. don't buy another one

3. go outside and evangelize

4. don't accept another one from friends/family when they seriously cannot comprehend why you choose to live without television. they will ALL want to HELP you by giving you one of theirs.

10. Won't work. Next I'd have to throw my laptop away.

And I'm not doing that.

12. almost every person i meet cannot fathom living their life without television

the prospect of it seems absurd to them, almost like you're talking about living without air.

my bottom line: if you have a tv, they have you.

13. I could pretty easily live without TV, but don't you dare take away my laptop.n/t

6. My experience is that they are always on cable news...

...and always talking. So simply leave the TV on mute all the time. It'll save time and energy.

Alternatively, you could watch something else. Animal Planet is usually Republican-free, though the hyenas are very similar.

7. Republimute!

surely technology exists for it!

8. Mute and show some peaceful scene....how nice would that be?

[spanone]

11. rip out the speakers...same effect

:hi:

14. Kind of extreme. I like to hear Obama once in a while. And I'm liking Pelosi

more every day.

[spanone]

17. lol....

:hi:

[NNN0LHI]

15. Not mute. It should switch to Gnarls Barkley singing Crazy at full volume

16. I am serious. One republican in congress during Bush years was going to (or

introduced) a bill to make mute buttons on remotes against the law. His claim being muting commercials was akin to stealing.

[pnwmom]

18. I never heard that, but I can certainly believe a Rethug would be that dumb. n/t

19. No shit. They add nothing to the process.
