2. Glad I ditched the tv and declined to do Facebook...
I can watch what I want specifically online... If I must watch the pravda news I can stream or listen on XM...

Much healthier...

11. If you must do Facebook, there are lots of liberal-leaning pages I just friended.
And it looks like some of them could use a little love and attention. Like this one:

http://www.facebook.com/rightwingwatch

OR - how about a change of pace? My kid's band's page:

Play music today! Celebrate life! Celebrate how, unlike most of the rest of America and certainly the republiCONS and teabaggers, neither YOU NOR YOUR BEHAVIOR are going to let the terrorists win. Be they foreign OR domestic.

3. Maybe you could do something productive instead of facebook and TV?
Edited on Sat Sep-11-10 12:31 PM by stray cat
after all life is surely or at least should be more than a screen

Go create a job and hire someone. We expect others to do it easily - why not us?

5. I can think of a hundred things to do that are more
worthwhile than TV or Facebook. If you need some suggestions, I'd be happy to provide some ideas.

7. I'm seeing a few too many US-patriotic hatefests and I'm not even American
A few of my friends seem to turn into Texan stereotypes for a few days every September; ugh.

I haven't had the teevee on all day.

And started watching the Little Rascals. TV goes off after that.

12. "Likes".
The jingoism is ramped up to 1,000,000 in all the wrong directions.

"Never forget" WHY? I was unemployed at the time, I got a front row seat to a colossal administrative and MIC FAIL paid for by MY tax dollars, nearly 3,000 people died and (as we learned later on) didn't have to . . . and that's the day the country became the decade-long, corporate-controlled, monitored, wealth-transferred, warmongering, Repuke-loving, indebted and fear-ridden fuckmess that it is today.

"Forget?" Why don't all of these flag-waving fuckwits get their heads out of their assholes and THINK? They're remembering all the wrong things and not questioning why or how this horrible event happened in the first place.

Disaster capitalism at it's apex.

Somehow, if I posted THAT as my Facebook status, I'd get defriended by dozens.

16. You and me both
Next year, we are going to go up to Asheville, and spend the day in the mountains with no TV, no internet, nothing.

Can you freaking imagine? The 10th anniversary of this shit on 2011??? God, the nuts are going to be out in full force. It won't even be fun, like Halloween-

17. TV websites aren't much better sorry to say.
Edited on Sat Sep-11-10 01:32 PM by nc4bo
Cruised WRAL.com's website and every racist, bigoted P.O.S. in North Carolina is crawling out from under the rocks.

Yeah, I think I'll go gut me a bar, stick a Murkin' flag up it's ass while takin' a hunkin' bite outta it's entrails, slap on some Lee Greenwood and salute that bitch before I go piss on the local Mosque!

Fucking buncha nothings. Enjoy the Republican Fear Factory as your means of earning gets taken away from you forever. Oh, but you have your goddamned tax cut, so it's all GOOD!
