Before this goes any further, I better wipe some of the mud away.
Aender, Sorry about the animosity. But being seen as some vicious dictator like mind was offending. You are right on several degree\'s. However I stand on my thoughts that there are better things to do then television. I think it\'s waste of time. Still, I think that it has some good shows. Most of it I don\'t like, and don\'t watch. If you do, hey, that\'s your choice. I don\'t care, because it\'s not my mind. You can\'t have a constant hobby, there\'s nothing wrong with sitting down to something once in a while, but as I see it, someone who sits in front of it from dawn till dusk need to get out and find something to do.
I still need to find something to do to develop a life. I have a bad habit of seeing society as cockroaches, but\'s it hard not to when media portrays society as that. I guess television has swayed opinions of mine, but in the differant direction. Instead of considering that normal and accepting it, I consider it normal and despise it. However, I am working on it. If I actually got out of my comfort zone and met real people instead of despicable money whores that I\'ve misunderstood \"normal\" people to be. God I must seem like an ass right about now.
Anyway, one of my friends in my Visual Basics class might be calling this weekend. I can\'t even remember the last time I expected a call. That sucks. Oh well, things are looking better. Now I just need to find a good hobby and maybe a girlfriend. I think that\'s what my real problem is. Some people don\'t have lives, so they spend it infront of a box. I spent it despising said box.
I think it was the legendary Vincent Price who once said something to the effect of Boredom is the eighth Deadly Sin. I think that\'s true. When you got nothing better to do, you don\'t fill that with anything better for you.
Anyway, television is degraded at times. Yes. It has some good traits. Yes again. Does it matter what crap is being filtered through that screen? Not really, because I got more important things to do than mince at an inanimate object.
The most intelligent show...hmm..can\'t say I know too many. FLCL is confusing, but I don\'t think that really counts as smart. I don\'t watch many crime dramas, where the most intelligent television seems to be. Mystery Science Theater was pretty clever. Funny as Hell too. Crank Yankers & South Park? I guess they\'re OKAY. They can be funny when they\'re not trying to be overbearingly offensive. My favorite South Park was when Cristopher Reaves regained strength from Stem Cells. It was pretty funny. Crank Yankers is funny sometimes, stupid at others (Mostly others).
True. The smart get smarter. The dumb get dumber. Too bad television has to reflect that as well. Shows that mean to have value are getting better at finding interesting subjects while shows centered around genitals (aka Jackass, Real World, Survivor). The people behind Jack Ass must have some gay issues to work out, because some how or the other they end up in something skimpy and/or something about their crotch. Hopefully they\'ll sustain enough damage not to reproduce. Whatever. My backs to the screen anyway. Computer at my house faces away from the television (thankfully).
As for God wiping out the Human race, not really. He gave them a second chance. He almost wiped out the race. Destroyed all those sinful people (those were the days...). Actually, in a strange observation, many cultures have their version of Noah\'s Ark, so I\'m wondering if God saved more than just Noah, to stop inbreeding.
