Do you ever get sick of all of the political adds they run on TV?
It seems like everyone stretches the truth in these adds.
I don't watch TV... very rarely anyway. Not unless there's something on which specifically interests me.
Stretches the truth? Are you serious? They outright lie, unless we're to believe that they are just too stupid to know what they're saying. Either one means we shouldn't be voting for any of them. The first indication to me about who I should vote for is their appearance on TV. If they appear in a political commercial, that means I'm not going to vote for them.
I mean really... Does anyone LIKE political commercials? Well.. besides their entertainment value?
Yes. I get tired of the mud slinging. Even if they say what I want to hear, rarely do they follow through once they get elected.
I don't watch TV; it rots the brain. There's really no reason to watch it, especially the news. Get outside, pick up a sport, and it's amazing how clear your mind becomes. Nobody needs that brainwashing BS.
TV doesn't rot the brain. Only watching the news does. Entertainment is entertainment. Watch what you like. Just don't expect to be getting things like truth and morality from it.

I think I have turned on my TV probably 10 times in the last 4 years. I find that television really dumbs us down. (I believe that is how the expression goes.) Television used to be entertaining in a different way a few years ago. I miss the Cosby Show, Family Ties, Happy Days,...

Do you think it is harmful to eat and watch TV at the same time?It's an old tale that eating while watching TV leads to over-eating and weight gain. Is that true for you? Why would you or wouldn't you watch TV while eating?

When you watch movies, what is it that sticks out in your mind? Have you seen a really bad one? What made it so bad?
