I stumbled onto your site.

Funny.  I was just wondering, you see I think
Television is poison, may I come over and steal yours?

If I leave my TV in a public place, in a fashion that helps poison you,
make you cough and stink up your clothes.. sure!

I suppose you are correct.  But there used to be time
when television sets where set in public store windows
so that passing customers could view the latest
technology.  In some peoples minds that may have been
poisonous.  After all mental deteriation is just as
dangerous as physical.

So when I run such a store, and put my TV in the window, you MIGHT have an
argument, but i still dont think so.

If there is a TV in the corner of a bar, I can simply turn my back and
problem solved. If there is a smoker in the room, I have to leave the room
or be subjected to their smoke. 

Further, comparing smoke to tv is just lame. One destroys your lungs and
polutes your body. You don't have a choice.. you can't say "oh, i won't
let the smoke hurt me". With TV, if you have a strong enough mind (read:
not a moron) the TV won't adversely affect you.

Come on karry.. with all the stuff on this site, surely you can find
something else better to harass me about!
