We live in the here and now and in an extremely physically limited reality. Our modern train of thought, while it can be hindering, has indeed helped humanity grow. You likely wouldn't be philosophizing right now if you were born centuries ago. Unless you were born into a rich family that could give you an education, which is highly unlikely. You more likely would be born into a poor social class and believe anything people told you about how life worked. Our modern reality has allowed the common man to understand some of the things that only the elite knew in ages past, and you are living proof of this. At least show some respect for this fact with regards to how you are living and thinking right now.

YOU choose to watch t.v., YOU choose to eat garbage rather than food, YOU choose to exist of or by your stuff, YOU choose to allow your own sloth to hinder self-development. YOU and YOU alone shape YOUR own being a la free-will.

The word "goddamn" was too much for the subject line? I don't even think TV requires much of a maturity rating for this particular vernacular. But whatever. I'm just spouting off opinion here.

Why do you insist on spouting the same warm fuzzy mind jellifiying crap that they spew out as well? Its a dumbing down technique that brainwashes the cattle into thinking thier lives are under thier control, and they are capable of doing anything they want if they work for it.

Skadi's right. I really couldn't have said it better than that.
