They should actually have to bend over and then catch a nice (big? possibly enlarged? herbally enhanced?) marathon donging from every guy whose dick they've insulted more than 20 times in email. That's probably, what? 51,000 dicks? Gonna be a long night. That'd be a good deterrent. And the video would sell like mad.
And how much do we as a society end up paying out when some poor kid (whose mom has no insurance) destroys himself because she is not wise enough to prioritize her funds to purchase things to protect him? I oppose "protect you from yourself" legislation as much as you do, but for an entirely different reason--not because of yuppies. I could actually give a damn if someone wants to darwinize their kids out of the gene pool, I can't stop it, I can't be there to help, and they would most likely dislike me anyway. But one thing is for sure--I sure as shit don't want to pay for it.
Seatbelt laws are another example. Yeah, I don't like being told what to do, but there are people out there far dumber than you or I, and with far worse judgement and reflexes. Firemen and paramedics are payed out of our taxes. If someone doesn't have enough sense to enact a little bit of self-preservation and wear a seatbelt, they shouldn't receive the benefit of modern science trying to save their life, at my expense. It's not my fault they're dumb and dead, and I never got a chance to talk any sense into them.
Broadcast entertainment and mass media were not invented by people I know, they are not run by people I know, and the people who DO participate in that subculture could give a shit whether I live or die.
I have to say that it is most certainly in my nature to return that same favor of apathy toward their lives. This is not revolutionary, this is innate. I'm not looking for a life filled with a subliminally seeded, one-way administration of reality at the hands of a few people who have hoarded communications channels and slowly made ubiquitous their own free time standards and folkways...these are all activities which I personally never asked for or agreed to. And yet people act like you're insane when you think this way, as if the act of reducing subversive stranger influence in your life is some sort of blasphemy or coup, instead of something natural and protective of one's own mind, and one's RIGHT.
What fascinates me is that people are born without this "apathetic reciprocity" gene I possess, or else they must suppress it. They lack the ability to overcome their self-subjugation by this pseudo-zeitgeist, or to live as authentically as possible.
Telvision doesn't map into an authentic life.
In the final drill, you will not have an identity.
Who am I? You will say. And you will never know, because you have been stripped of it by those who desired to co-opt the products of your body and mind and add them to their personal wealth.
Sheep. Bleat.
The bottom line is that you are the product, and when you strip away all of the suspicious memories, laughs, and entertainment, the extract which remains consists only of your most emotionally vulnerable moments being devoted to the subliminal impression management of a band of depersonalizing, ruthless "cheshire cat" strangers, and on the whole I think our 21st century world would be better off without this outdated, condescending undirectional TV nemesis. I love to break them with hammers.
I guess the simple explanation for why I don't watch TV (as opposed to my extended 'subversion manifesto') is because I just really don't give a shit what a handful of self centered primadonnas in LA and NYC are doing at any given point in time. I wasn't born for them. For some reason I just plain outgrew that vicariousness when I moved out from under my dad's roof. Just left it behind. No idea why--oh wait, yes I do--because it's unnatural and evil 20th century stupidity.
Remember kids, every week bash televisions with a sledgehammer week.

Seems to me that a massive amount of military potential energy was generated by the victory in WWII and the subsequent creation of a nuclear superpower. Potential energy wants to become kinetic, and it is merely being channeled now by American businessmen. I am neither in favor nor against that, I just see it as something that is.
What annoys me is politicians, globalists like Dumbya who try to pretend they're patriotic leaders. Globalism and patriotism/ tribalism/ nationalism are practically opposite concepts, and politicians who try to play both sides of the fist between nationalism/globalism deprive the general public of the spoils of both outcomes-- we receive no nationalist prosperity, and we receive no globalist unity or sense of humanitarianism. All we receive is the onset of second world living conditions and the annoying persistence of first world guilt trips.
If we're so spoiled, try to go to the ER after being laid off. American wealth is an illusion.
Anything that increases the amount of clumsy yet realistic amateur fighting and fscking on the internet is ok by me. Less hollywood, more neighborhood. THAT is entertainment.
Yeah, but most opt-in mailing lists are deceptive piggyback subscription scams which use concealment of of their "agreement checkboxes" to gain unknowing consent from the user, and they are indistinguishable from spam, in my book. A real opt-in ought to be some service you have to explicitly seek out and join, not something you're deceived into conceding to while distracted.
The vendors who employ spam as an adverstisement method are just as complicit as the spammers, and I don't think it will be impossible to distinguish between authentic vendors and spoofed vendors, although I have to admit, I don't currently know how they will do it...
"Also, privacy concerns around RFID tags are a little like concerns about supermarket scanners years ago. When the laser scanners were coming out, everybody was saying, retailers are going to collect information about what you buy. And none of that happened. I think the situation with RFID is similar."
Is the above why I am now forced to use 641 different "bonus cards" when I want to get a decent price on products?

So what? Altered states are far more spiritual and useful to the soul than a globally transmitted moron-a-thon funded by spam....

Brilliant.
limits from the 1970s into unnecessary civilian side impact deaths. Great idea. Someone needs to be jailed for even implementing this idea.
Wow, what a turd comment by Savant. Definitely an Idiot Savant. Makes me glad I hit TVs with sledgehammers on a biannual basis.
Incorrigibly stupid history repeaters.
chicks will end up sitting on it and pretending they're just "relaxing"
What's a leet speek name?

Soylent Green is *People*!!
Television is for people who can't stand to be alone with their own thoughts. The pace is designed to remove the burden of identity.
