It may go something like this:

First of all, most people on earth don’t have access to even 1% of the world’s media. That includes spoken word media, besides the tv shows and disks.

As such, we have a special opportunity to learn much more than some of the dark-age people did.

Besides that, our body has less than 1% of the energy that exists. Less than 0.01% of the knowledge and power.

The main mass media, is it truly better than other sources of media?

It’s more plausable that we are eating junk food like we are consuming junk media.

Spend time searching out important media, if you want to upgrade your mind and life.

I agree, we are consuming ‘junk media’.

My boys inform me that many in their generation don’t watch TV, some never [but get the odd show on the net etc].

If the media moguls don’t watch out, they will have no more customers in a generation or two [hopefully].

They killed rock and roll, and now it’s gonna come back and bite them in the ass.

3

I’m not as optimistic as you but a change in the media seems good at this point.

4

I do not think the people behind Miley Cyrus and Family Guy are eager to give up control of their puppets just yet.

5

They are using all forms of media and so catch both groups [watcher and non- watchers of TV]. If they loose TV they have nothing to refer fame too.

their perpetuation trick is of course with breeding. once people have children they tend to watch TV.

I suppose the most we can hope for is that the media becomes increasingly irrelevant.

Better chance of success asking them to change their ways, than convincing a member of the mindless masses to stop watching.

Do you want men to ware panties and bring a assault rifle with them to the donut shop?

Some things are SO much important.

I think it is harder and harder to control this kind of thing.
Good behavior and bad behavior, each is becoming “free” and realized.

I believe that men should wear panties, I believe boxers are a tool of the Illuminati to cause chaffing and sexual disfunction in males. Many men switch to panties because of the uncomfortable feeling boxers give them on their penis parts.

I believe Men should have the right to bear arms, as was written down in the United States Constitution by our founding fathers. I see no reason to deny the ability of self-defense whilst at a donut shop, as long as they aren’t pointing it at people, cops at the donut shop will think twice before murdering honest citizens around them.

Gobbo might have said that, but then he would have gone on to spend that valuable time learning about how aliens built the pyramids and how some people on 4chan mastered travelling through the astral plane.

So clearly, stepping off the beaten path is not enough in and of itself.

10

I don’t know about pyramids but I’m quite sure we each have some kind of soul.

11

I’ve found that even panties are too restrictive. I haven’t worn underwear of any kind is over twenty years.

As an ecofascist, I believe the opposite should be a constitutional right.
