@Drank_Spear Maybe. Let's say I am not looking for anything new. I work my 2 days a week with the public and then become a recluse for the next 5 days unless I have to go to town. I plan my visits and my work.

@Drank_Spear everything on my roku is cheaper than most activities outside the home. It's cheaper than going out to eat, to a bar, a movie, the gun range, a theme park or a road trip. Unless I'm going on a walk staying at home is cheaper. Nothing you've said on this site goes over my head, your intellect is lacking.

@Drank_Spear so you're telling me to not use a device that gives the world's knowledge at my finger tips? That sounds willfully ignorant to me.

@Drank_Spear you simply lack knowledge about modern technology. There are many things to watch that is independent or you can look up who pays for what your watching. You also seem to be looking over things designed for entertainment. You must only consume news politics and conspiracy sites. That definitely explains why your no fun at a party or in real life at all.

Exactly

@Drank_Spear in what way am I a slave?

@Drank_Spear I use all information in front of me and filter it out in my own mind. It is silly to not use information from others, that's called living in an echo chamber.

@Drank_Spear it's called a brain. Ever heard of it?

@Drank_Spear I’m afraid as a lifelong nonbeliever I consider the concept of either heaven or hell to be meaningless religious nonsense. If heaven equates with happiness then we make our own heaven here on earth by being fulfilled and happy. As for hell, it’s only meaningful as a threat if we believe in such a concept, if we don’t it holds no terror.

@Marionvill you make more sense than this guy for sure

@Drank_Spear There’s nothing new in being a shit-stirrer here on this site. You come last in a long list of stirrers…I’ve seen them all come and go over the years. The trick is not to rise to their shit-stirring bait and they’ll eventually go away to stir up someone else’s pot of shit!

@Drank_Spear True enough…I will give you credit there!

I like the history channel but it does to many shows dealing with antiques rather than history. I also like American hero’s, Smithsonian, discovery, National Geographic and ID.

@Trajan61 Hi Trajan61. The AHC used to be the Military Channel. They changed the name after 9/11. Stupid name. I like the World War11 from the sky. Shows the military maneuvers. Much like chess. There is also now the Story Channel but they do too much entertainment coverage, I prefer serious historical stories. There is hope it will improve. Smithsonian is another go to channel , & National geo.

@Drank_Spear That's about the dumbest response you could have given. That's like telling someone they shouldn't use GPS because they can use a road atlas or a sextant instead. If a TV or YouTube can accomplish the goal better and faster, it's the person that shuns their use that's the idiot. Now run along and calculate all the ways you're a fuckin' idiot on your abacus.

@ChestRockfield Thanks for this valid response..His reply was so Inane I didn’t think it was worth responding to

@Drank_Spear Of course. That line of questioning is stupid, too. You could take it to the logical conclusion of doing everything for yourself, but why? How much of the good things in life are you going to miss out on just so you can boast to an online room full of people that don't give a single fuck about you about how you can do everything. You are online, don't suppose you manufactured your own phone or computer? You must think of yourself as pretty programmed right about now, just buying what they want to sell you and control you with online forum arguments. What a sheep you are.
The fact of the matter is, if I needed to fish, I could, but I still wouldn't. If shit was so bad that there weren't groceries to buy, I'm done with this life. You can have all that survivorman bullshit for yourself... that is if you can stop being a programmed sheep.

@Drank_Spear I'm crying and whining? No, I'm making you look like a fucking fool for trying to pretend you're superior to a bunch of people you don't know because of something as stupid as whether or not they watch anything on a screen.

@Drank_Spear You're just the latest iteration of the same brand of asshole we have here for a short while that tries to preach a very familiar sermon of "I'm the only enlightened person in this room" nonsense until they realize none of us find you intelligent, enlightened, or in any way interesting. You may last a few weeks, a few months, or latch on to the outcast insular groups like the Conservative Atheists and echo chamber your way into some years, but most of your type generally get fed up with all the rational intelligent people on the site thinking they're a fucking idiot and they leave.

@Drank_Spear I'm not special at all. There are a ton of people here that are smarter than me, more interesting than me, more talented, but most of all, classier than me. That's why it's me who's telling you you're a fuckin' idiot that these people are laughing at, and they're politely ignoring your idiocy.

@Drank_Spear So then why would you think any of us give one tiny fuck what you have to say? You're on here preaching total bullshit and expect us to listen to you. What a fuckin' joke you are.
