Honestly, if I didn't get my cable for free, I wouldn't have it. If I ever wanted to watch anything I'd netflix it.

With 19,316 posts and however much more internet surfing you do, i would guess that you are getting just as much useless/idiotic input as the rest of America that watches too much tv..

I rarely watch tv. I might watch it when our family sits down to eat at the table, but then I get right back up and come back to my room and get on the computer. TV isn't interactive enough nor fast enough to keep up with what I'm doing.
Weekends and stuff, I'm always out making plans or doing stuff, so I never get TV time in.

I must be a weird child

Got paid for a year to do nothing but sit at a computer pretty much so about 10k or so is from that and being stuck in Alabama where I didn't know anyone so I played on here. I also have a lot of downtime at work so I get on here from my phone.

I mainly hop on here when I'm taking a break from homework or when I'm bored in class/waiting for something. My post count has gone up maybe 2k in the last year. If you take out the 10k from my year vacation in Alabama my post average would be barely over 4 per day. You have to remember I've been on here for quite some time.

I don't have cable either. Don't really have time for it. There's enough other junk consuming my time, including school and this damn site lol.

My parents got this big new tv in the living room but we have the basic 5 or 6 channels, ha i dont even know how many there are. Only time i ever watch anything on Tv is if im reloadin and put in a movie. But even then its just for some noise.
And even those are some hunting videos or such like that.
Ive never found anything on TV that would hold my attn for long enough. Most the crap is some made up reality shows that the people suck at life.

I just feel like the world is passing me by while stuck watching tv but then again as a kid I didn't spend hardly any time inside either so I imagine that has a lot to do with it. I guess I enjoyed playing doctor and house a little too much with the neighborhood girls
Kids'll be better off for it too. I have little cousins that can't get picked up from school and driven 20 minutes home without a DVD playing in the headrests. Kinda sickens me. I learned to shoot when I was 7 with an old cut down Cooey single shot .22 and had a mini-bike when I was 9. I'm sorry but that trumps TV anytime. But then again that was my parents doing, not mine.
