> I am glad there are 3 other Rinkworkers out there who enjoy the feeling to have no Tv! I always get made fun of at school, and people always ask, why dont you get a tv? I reply, why dont you get good grades. Because I believe TV is one of the downfalls of society. I am not saying that all the people who have Tv's are bad, but some people abuse the right wayy too much.

I like having a TV, but I don't watch it a lot. For a while recently I had so much homework (mostly as a result of bad planning on my part) that I didn't have any time to watch TV, and even before that I didn't watch much of it. Now that it's summer I watch a bit more now, but I'm on the computer most of the time.

The problem with TV is that for every half hour of good programming, there's three hours of crap. There are a lot of good shows out there that I feel are worth watching, but there are way more that aren't. This phenomenon causes people to think that there's never anything good to watch on TV, when there is: it just doesn't take up much time.

Sigh.
