He thinks television is a waste of time but he plays video games.

[Talmanes]

In my opinion, television is for when you want entertainment, but also want to be lazy.

Video games are when you want slightly more active entertainment, that requires a small effort.

[reyler]

I think there are more than a few parents' groups that would take issue with the notion of video games being "active" entertainment.

[Alexander]

At least video games make you initially think, where as a majority of media on TV is mindless s***.

[Locke]

I think video games are a waste of time too. I think that lots of things I do is a waste of time.

[Locke]

So basically you're judging something you have no experience with to base an opinion on. *sigh*

 

Mildly true. Back in my old house, I remember watching a good amount of TV (we stole our neighbor's connection or whatever). I can't really remember getting anything good out of it. I can't say if that holds true for all of television, but the stuff that I watched because I found entertaining.....can't recall really learning anything. Same thing for movies, even though on average, I watch like one a week give or take a little. Video games for the most part, although I have learned a couple things from Civ, for whatever that's worth.

[Alexander]

Our society is based around the premise of wants not needs, easy to see why a majority of past times are a waste of time. The person who actually modernised this way of thinking, and home propaganda to a degree is sadly all but forgotten now.

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcYBSXgtmKQ I reccomend watching if you want to waste time and learn something interesting in the process, this is in regards to how our society transformed to a degree, from a need to want institution.

[Locke]

Except with my connection, that would take 2 hours.

[Talmanes]

I never said video games were active, just more active than tv.

[reyler]

I don't see the problem with indulging in wants.

[Alexander]

Over-consumption, it just serves to prove the natural curve our social evolution has taken, and that ultimately we will destroy ourselves, we truly are a overgrown virus'.

 

So yeah a want society is suicidal in the long run, but who cares about the short term eh?. By human nature we cant change that sooo.

Oh god, I don't get enough of this at work?

[Alexander]

Only an answer you can yourself answer. What do you do for a living may I ask?

[reyler]

It's not the job itself, it's listening to my boss go on about how human civilization has never before been so full of rottenness and how we're all circling the drain and we'll all destroy ourselves soon enough and for the love of god Tom if you really think it's that bad then just please kill yourself now and let the rest of us get on with it.

 

Anyway. Spam. *creates paper chain ribbons and coats them in a light Balsamic vinaigrette* That said goats before I spotted my typo.

[Alexander]

Haha, I do honestly think the Human race is that bad not inherintly, just by evolution, but then you get the people swallowed whole by society to a degree, they foolishly think they on the "right" side to a degree, I mean people dont evan know what evolution means, one day the world will go to s*** and these lambs will be lost.

 

That sounded so theological the last part especially I am not however.

 

*Dresses my pallet of chips with Reyler's balsamic paper chain*

[bad company]

I would say that humans no matter what almost always chose the selfish option

[reyler]

LESS SERIOUS, MORE RAINBOWS

 

[bad company]

Thinly veiled homophobia or just another case of rediculous batman villian

[reyler]

It don't see why it couldn't have been both. Also the two-dimensional bit could have been a self-swiping.

[bad company]

Either way it's a classic comic book cover

[reyler]

It's a comic book cover, I can agree with that.

[GoodGrief]

The green aura from my laundry basket occasionally turns me into a wheelbarrow full of porcupines.

[reyler]

Ah, so that's where you disappeared to for all those months!

[Locke]

That happens to me too except I get turned into a portrait of two-dimensional stereos.

[reyler]

I believe we've already discussed your flatness in another thread.
