    When google news came out, I immediately became a fan . Then it proved to be a total mess echo chamber without any way to find non-major propaganda stories.

    That will lead to women and men to be equally pregnant.

    The insanity of modern world is pushing gender equality.

    Genders are not equal. Period. Not equal physically, hormonally, emotionally, genetically, socially.

    That's all there is to it. It's a pity that someone always has to stand up and tell the crowd pointing to white: "This is, you know, white, bot black"

    Well, first of all I spent a large part of 2004 and 2005 without any TV content. WIth or without cable. That was the best time of my life.

    The crap plastered on video I can skip, I mostly listen to TV programs, not actually watch them.

    In case of real quality program, yes, we have to live with it.

    Fortunately they use it for now for mostly their own station related announcement - upcoming programs, etc.

    When they start to sell it to outside, then I will just stop watching TV programs altogether.

  25. Not prices, ads on Not Even Free TV Can Get People To Stop Pirating Movies and TV Shows (qz.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When I cut the cord in 2004 I did it because of ads, not because I was cheap (I am cheap, no denying that).

    Free TV most definitely will mean infestation with ads.
