I don't own a TV. It happened by accident, literally. 5 years ago A large heavy shelf came down on top of it, and I never got around to replacing it. I don't say it to sound culturally superior, or because I think I have some sort of a higher calling. In fact I try to avoid the whole issue because general conversation always turns to television. I am pretty unrefined, my Library is where everyone else's is, on the back of the toilet. and my choice of reading material comes in magazine form, typical guy stuff, hunting, guns, 4X4's, football. I'm okay with you having a TV, in fact, I'll watch yours if I'm at your place. Okay,I’m guilty… I don’t own a TV.

I don't know whether this post is a real opinion which you actually believe in or just a random bored ass rant to throw out there and get a discussion going! I'll say this though... go watch Fight Club a few times and take control of your life, not let mass media do it and empty your pockets! Grow some, and go outside your comfort zone! P.S WTB stocks in generators for the upcomming energy blackouts... Oh wait, thats just a bunch of bull on the news and mass media...silly me o_O (Interesting post, I could ramble forever about the subject and make judgements about you and other people who watch alot of tv and reality tv... I won't though, since it's not my problem ;D) …On a serious note….

I gave away my 3 TV's! I only watched the news or Football and I can do that online or on my mobile at any time. I own a few LCD monitors and built a pc and prologic sound to use as a media centre for movies. I am based in the U.K. where we have no choice but to pay for a licence for $400-+ for a channel that I never watch. No licence and a tv at home = $2000 fine. It's like a tax to pay for rubbish programs. I'd rather subscribe and have a choice. I love movies, going out to bars, I work as biochemist researcher reading journals working in labs and I play in a blues band. I also take part in martial arts and gym/riding clubs and yes I have girlfriend too! I don't have time for tv or anything! but the net has the news when I want and I can watch the game by pay on demand etc. Saturday is my day off and I've watched the football and news and some shows online which has cost me $5. I don't need a tv. If I had more time then sure I'd buy a 60 inch screen hooked to pc or PS3! If you have a tv or maybe you don't? then good for you it's your choice. I think it’s personal choice.

I don't go around telling everyone though, unless someone asks. I'm poor, but that's not why I don't have one. I don't have one because I know I'll never/rarely use it, plus the money I would be spending on cable/buying a TV I'd rather use on something else like...food. That's probably because I'm poor...haha. If I ever have kids I'm still not going to buy a TV, but if they really beg I'll probably set up a little home theater (projector pointed at a wall), and we can have a weekly "movie night" or something like that. Right now one of my roommates has a TV right in my living room but I don't ever use it. But reading is definitely not my thing either! I would rather watch TV than read a book. I'd rather not do either. I'm very active and if I'm not working or cleaning I can't stand sitting around at home, I like to spend my time outside. I don't own a computer either.

It is not the fact that they do not own a TV...I sometimes wish I could break my own addiction to the Boob-Tube. It is that they so smugly ANNOUNCE it to the world every chance they get. Before they even finish their pronouncement, I have already started to "turn them off" permanently. If I ever do get rid of all of my TVs (which is highly unlikely), I will be the only one that will know about it. I am SOOOO with you on this one.
