I have a TV, several in fact, and I am not a “porn purveyor” or “child abuser” as you put it.
TV’s have a channel changer you know, and an on and off button. Certain things are allowed and disallowed in our house - it’s called good parenting.
In fact we just watched a fascinating show the other night about planet Earth on the History channel. So stop your blanket comments and assumptions already.
I have a t.v., too, but no connection to the sewer pipe. I used it to watch specific recorded items that I choose.
No, television is virtually totally corrupt with unmitigated perversity now. If not the shows, the obscene commercials, which would have been considered criminal only 35 years ago, are every bit as bad, if not worse because they are condensed, concentrated smut. If you can't see this, you are part of the problem.
Would you let your child wander through a field that you knew was a minefield; even if you knew that on 5 acres there were only 3 mines?
