[Metatron]

The second week in a year that a bunch of fools ready to blame computers and tv for the worlds problems turn them all off.

I find it funny that people need a turnoff week. If I misbehaved and watched too much tv around my parents, they didn't wait unti 'turnoff week' to take my tv. I learned my lesson.

Of course, what I REALLY don't get is why a few freaks are making turnoff week anyway. If you can't tell what too much internet and tv usage is, you don't need a turnoff week, you need a life.

I support this.

You support a turnoff week?

You support manditorily telling people using too much tv and internet to get off internet? Instead of, you know, the person figuring it out themselves?

Anyways, who does this help? A person watching tv 40 hours a week ain't gonna turn it off. A WoW addict ain't gonna stop. The real people who need help won't be helped.

To put it bluntly, no turnoff week is gonna help anybody determined to do this.

you don't need a turnoff week, you need a life.

i am behind that 100%...do we really need someone to tell us to put the remote down? i honestly don't watch that much TV...some shows i am addicted to here and there, and Football of course...but by no means would i say that tv has any sort of impact on my life...people need to realize when they are going to far on their own, it's a part of life, and it's a part of learning...if you are always told what to do, when to do it...how can you possibly develop and sort of personality?

Another turn off week? Has the world really come down to blaming television and the internet for our problems? I'm with you guys in that it should be the individuals own job to know if they're watching too much television. Hopefully if they keep this up they'll realize that its changing nothing, except to the people who support this movement to begin with.

I was kidding. Life revolves around internet and TV.
