Not just the Olympics... I have rejected popular culture altogether.

It started in bits and pieces in the 70’ when I was offended by the bad language, skin and other smut which was being force fed to me by the media and magazines, music, etc.

Bit by bit I have habituated my self to do without all of it. Where is it written that I must permit these philistines to corrupt me or my consciousness just because they CAN.

Well-to the extent that they CAN'T, I have assured myself that they DON'T... I don't buy their tickets, subscriptions, etc. or permit them access to ME or my consciousness in any way I can control!

Even at the doctor's office I WILL NOT bother with those trash publications ... NOPE!

I'M in charge of the inside of my head and it's NOT A GARBAGE CAN in there-thank you very much!!

By NOW- I consume very little of their slop!

Well said!

Additionally to throw in a dog advocate post..they torture and slaughter hundreds of thousands of dogs in horrifically brutal ways in South Korea.

Hate that country and their brutal sadism.

The torture is deliberate as they believe the meat will taste better. I think of them as the three B's. Beating, Blowtorching, and Boiling.

I am currently attempting to save a puppy from a butcher in South Korea, btw, so please keep your fingers crossed for it.

If it can escape being thrown in a pot of boiling water to make soup I am bringing it here and naming it Soop.

I've been saying that for yrs...

however, I used to like the Olympics, this yr its a turnoff and my schedule just seems to be hit and with the Olympics...but I hate watching things that are not shown completely LIVE..not taped...

pop culture should be called Poop culture, which is what it is..
