The reason these people are accusing you of being wrong... the reason that these people are accusing you of making a grand generalization of this country... is because deep down they know that you're right and they don't want to admit how much TV they actually watch. And yes, television is bad, it's worse than internet, or books for that matter. When you're watching television you're pretty much staring at a blank screen... when you're on the internet you can communicate with other human beings and those that say books are just as bad as television probably don't read them.

See? All these people who are disagreeing with you because they think you're wrong who show no evidence to contradict your statement are just in denial. I am plenty aware of how much influence television has over people in this country. I find it scary. When Americans watch television they are desensitizing themselves to all the violence they see on television and also not to mention those that are heavy television watchers probably think that the world is a more violent place than it actually is.

So many minds here have been conditioned in one way or another by television. They can't do without television. It's like a drug. The population has been drugged by this box sitting in their living rooms.

What?
You don't watch TV?
How exactly can you support your argument then?
If you've never sampled our visual tripe, where is your "wisdom" coming from?

Good 'burn', SD.

But can we just stop for a second?

We are here as brothers and sisters, pretty much a world community and some people would like to deny or destroy or mock this by bringing ethnocentrism and nationalities back into it?

I have "friends" all over the world as a result of the 'Net, from Denmark to NZ to Australia to Japan, to South America. They are good people and my e-buddies, a few of whom I've met.

I don't see the point, except maybe for a little self examination.

Also, who has time to look at the behavior of others that much. Why are we not busy looking in the mirror and at ourselves and our own behavior?

Someone asked me this in another forum and, generally, I'm pretty much busy being me. Call me self-absorbed.

Hear what the OP is saying but after the initial assault, I don't see why we need to be attack-dogs. I'd like to promote the idea of e-brotherhood.

Just sayin'...

Feeding the Troll was the only prupose to the response. And why do I assume he/she is British? Call it a gut feeling developed over many years of watching too much television. Or maybe it was the reference to the arse. You see in America, we keep our televisions in our a$$es.

By calling him a troll you're only proving my point. Seriously all of you are acting like little kids. If you're going to disagree with the OP at least be reasonable. Don't assume the OP is jealous of your life-style of overdosing on television consumption!

Oh, it's a gut feeling, okay
And "Arse" is used by more people than just the British, Australia for example.

Nevertheless, you're probably accurate with your assumption. I was just asking how you think you know.

Because Americans are stupid Rabbits... they can't foresee the inevitable event in a sitcom because they lack the binary wiring in their water logged skulls. It's also because Americans are constantly being poisoned by their own government for population control purposes. Modified Corn, Fluoride in the water, Cemtrails, so on and so forth...

Be honest now, do you think Europeans are any different? The English are allowing cameras to be mounted all over the place, their even allowing their country to be absorbed into a superstate. Meanwhile, Australians, as a whole allow protesters to be attacked with truck mounted water cannons. Stupidity is everywhere.

I think you have it wrong, humans are stupid.
