I rarely turn on my TV, although my choices aren't necessarily the best when it is on, but I prefer to read. Intolerance for different beliefs & opinions seems to be rampant (and rampaging, as seen by your experience).<br />Blessings . . . <br />Connie in San DiegoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440404740544605101.post-56805696814981603432010-11-07T15:27:34.693-05:002010-11-07T15:27:34.693-05:00I always find that those who are the most ignorant...I always find that those who are the most ignorant shout the loudest:-)Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11016058828515830560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440404740544605101.post-35524204391779383262010-11-07T11:24:28.904-05:002010-11-07T11:24:28.904-05:00LOL Wow!

Dont you just love it when people think because you dont have a TV or something else they consider odd that you are some how uninformed about the world around you??<br /> I would LOVE to be with out a TV. We didnt have one when the girls were little. But my husband likes his TV alot..I get disgusted with some of the things on there but the 3 PBS channels are our main channels. Summer time it goes days without being turned on. It sees more time in the cold months.. <br /> We drive a slightly newer paid for Salvage title Van and truck. I cant bring myself to pay more than $2000 for a vehicle. Not when I have a couple of mechanics in the family that can fix them IF/When they have problems.<br /> But when people find out we homeschool And raise goats.. Well some people look at us like we grew 2 heads! Homeschooling is getting more common but I ran into more narrow minds the other day.. I just keep smiling with a msile that says.. Its Our life not yours and I am NOT judging you.. Or at least thats what I hope it says and not what I am thinking when they say but homeschooler have so many problems with socailization!Lol.. I have Met ONE family in 8 years that the kids may have a problem with socialization but not all of the kids were like that so it may have been the individual kid.. I was in public school and was still so shy its was painfully so. But I grew out of it and my girls didnt have Near the problem I did.. <br /> Anyway... I said all this to say this...I understand...LolToniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223141257252367520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440404740544605101.post-52313035454300628672010-11-07T09:43:44.234-05:002010-11-07T09:43:44.234-05:00Stephanie and her hubby do not have TV, either. T...Stephanie and her hubby do not have TV, either. They did purchase a device that lets them get Netflix on demand but otherwise they canceled the cable when their oldest was around three or four... the commercials were getting too bad for kids to watch.<br /><br />I noticed when we were there that they often had music in the background, they get football games on the radio when her hubby wants to hear them, and they have a library of good quality kid's DVDs for those times she needs time to work. Of course, there are lots of books.<br /><br />In this age of the Internet, one can get more information about anything than they desire without TV.<br /><br />I do have Direct TV and admit to enjoying cooking shows but in the long run could do without it. However, with hubby being bipolar, he needs to be able to take mental vacations and Chicago sports does that (for better or worse).<br /><br />It is a sad comment on society when people feel TV is that important and to be without it makes one odd.Brenda@CoffeeTeaBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719695370857675146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5440404740544605101.post-82239358075961535552010-11-07T09:22:24.643-05:002010-11-07T09:22:24.643-05:00Amen, dear friend.
