If one is wrong, they're both wrong.

And if moderation with one allows you to use it for good and not evil, same goes for the other.
You expected a serious response to your straw man?

Who said I was "preaching hellfire and damnnation against TV" while turning a "deaf ear" to the Internet? Which thumb did you suck that out of?

"If one is wrong...?" Did I use the word wrong? I used the word DANGER, go back, take a deep breath and READ. Furthermore - YOU and others brought the Internet into the discussion, not me. Typical of liberal knee jerk reaction to anyone that points out the danger of anything that appeals to the flesh.

Man, IF Internet was preached against in the UPC, some of you would be burning An effigy of B. Haney outside the WEC.

TV? Go for it - I don't care what you do personally.

My point is all this is just pointing out the inconsistency of all the anti-TV arguments that go on, whether by you, or anybody else. People go on and on about "the dangers" or whatever of TV, but the Internet is not thrown the pot with it. That's the inconsistency of it.

Because of the close relationship between TV and Internet, it's naturally going to be brought into the same conversations. There's all this hullaballoo about the TV resolutions pending and all that and how concerned so many appear to be over it. But the same ones so concerned over TV are the ones writing about it on the Internet.

I'm glad the Internet appeals to your spirit and not your flesh. lol

DIFFERENT~! I MEAN IT IS A LIBRARY!

oh wait a second, Blue Planet is on discovery HD....those fish are PRETTY....Wow, i didnt know there were such vivid colors....

what was i sayin? oh yes! DIFFERENT! INTERNET IS DIFFERENT! man those fish look so cool. INTERNET IS BETTER THAN TV! TV is of the devil! See, there is a devil fish and he sure is ugly. awesome but man is that thing ugly.

I do agree with WWOD on one thing... it is really too late to be doing this because the technologies are already merging... his big point was that it won't even matter in a few years so they might as well keep the rules as they are until television by the current definition is obsolete. Notice that the definition of television (in the manual) stopped after antenna and cable and they never proceeded to add more to it).

SD, the argument has shifted. they now oppose all forms of moving images.

lol, are they afraid their souls will be captured on film like the aborigines? I could have a lot more fun with that argument.

It was a cool, clear day with no wind... I looked out on the beautiful lake, but leaned too far and, WHAM! my soul got sucked into the lake because of my reflection!

Kind of like all the sex that is happening at the movie theater you know?
It's done by the same poltergeist that takes one sock from each pair everytime I do the wash!

It's kinda like telling us we shouldn't read Cosmo because of the scantily clad women on the cover while they are reading Playboy for the articles.

So they say.........
