I too do not have Idiot box!

Peter, there are so many things I can do instead that this post isn't big enough to list them. I can: ride a bike, go running, cook, read a book, help someone, feed an animal, study languages, clean the house, organize my things, work, hang out with friends, go swimming, date a girl, stay with family, play poker, drink something, smoke a cigarette, talk to someone (preferably in person), travel somewhere, learn something new, go for a parachute jump, go trekking, climb a mountain et cetera.

I hate TV and I hardly ever watch it.Now that we have high speed internet,we can read all the news we want or watch all the TV shows and movies,and listen to music,whenever we like and without advertisements.I don't understand why people like TV because I find it slow,boring and like a brain -washing machine. I really don't care if we give away the TV but my husband likes it.So he watches TV news,while I sit on italki and talk to people in all different countries.

I think you did very well to get rid of that piece of sh**

TV is a brain washing machine 

You are a very wise man Alexander.
