What evidence do I have to support my dark assessment? NCIS as the most popular show on TV. Banal does not encompass how awful it is, maybe saccharine banal is better. Wrestling fans. Reality TV fans. Sit-com fans. What in the heart or brain of a person would find any of these things attractive? Mind blowing lack of thought or a fertile reception for the beauty of life as is. They will always be cogs for any political machine that favors their prejudices and desires. People Of The Lie. Mundane and base. Decent enough if they have popcorn and beer, yet easily induced to gravitate to the same spectacular showcase of h**e and fear: great show!

Enough to make you lose hope for our species.

Relax... 90% of TV has always sucked....

I'm watching Peppa Pig with my daughter... Nice rainy day to spend curled up on the sofa together... We read a dozen other story books... Drew pictures for a while... And built x tower out of blocks... Now is a TV break... Peppa pig is awesome... Great messages for kids...

Not familiar with the shows you listed

Read a book. Listen to Bach. Visit a Museum and look at a Monet painting. Wade in some water (lake or ocean or river or even a creek), go to a ball game. Life is out there, and it is what you make of it. Brush that chip off your shoulder, shake it off and go DO something that feels good, rumitoid. Stop whining....smell the flowers, watch a butterfly, eat a just grilled steak, - it's an amazing thing is life! And it is short.

Fun. Thank you.

That is where I got it wrong, EmilyD, I thought it was smell a butterfly and watch plants grow. Eat a grilled steak is the best thing I have ever heard here.

You are right, EmilyD. Too pessimistic. I do know life is short, unfortunately. Thank you for the wake up call.

Canuckus Deploracus Loc: North of the wall

I'll second the grilled steak idea

rumitoid

That is for certain. Thank you for the reminder.

rumitoid

Yeah, right! Best advice ever here.

Here's a good song to begin with looking at life!

A third of the angels and God's creation followed satan, most likely another third didn't care who was in charge as long as they had enough to eat and a roof over their head. This third has always been swayed with empty promises, (tell them what they want to hear and you can depend on their lemming like support.) It has always been a minority that was concerned with doing what is right. Notice that the concerns are over what people watch as entertainment, or basically our culture. It is the left that has for decades continually debased, debauched, defined deviancy downward and demanded that everyone not only tolerate it, but embrace this degraded culture as the "new normal". To hear l*****ts bemoan the corrupted shape of our culture when THEY have been the ones who corrupted it is the height, or depth I guess of hypocrisy. And they are still demanding more and more debasement everyday. You are right, our Heavenly Father and our Savior have told us there will be a great falling away, (from God's word and righteousness,) and the left has ramped up it's attacks on Christianity. Mankind isn't going to, (and never was going to,) progress without God's guidance. So the more God is mocked, denounced and rejected, there will be not only less progress but backsliding towards barbarity and savagery.

Well stated.

The same assessment was made in a much earlier publication..........the Bible!

Is NCIS still on? I watch NCIS New Orleans it's more interesting. There aren't any sitcoms, politics k**led them off. I watch pro wrestling, the why will k**l you. To shut off my mind? Just the opposite, to remember. I started watching it when I was 9 with my grandfather, he had just come over from Poland and thought it was real. I know it's f**e, in fact, depending on the area and time (date) I can tell you how they c***ted and who is going to win. It used to be the announcer controlled that. Now it's so blatant that everyone kows before the match starts. I think back to the goodtimes with my grandfatherand father. I even surprised them one day by bringing a few wrestlers to the house. They aren't hard to know.
