20To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win Jews; to those under the law, like one under the law — though I myself am not under the lawt — to win those under the law.u
21To those who are without that law,v like one without the law — not being without God’s law but within Christ’s law — to win those without the law.
22To the weak I became weak, in order to win the weak. I have become all things to all people, so that I may by every possible means save some.

early South Park, Boondocks, Futurama, Rick and Morty, some Drew, 3rd Rock, et al
anything illuminating human nature, foibles, etc

now don't get me wrong i dislike many of these bc they do not speak my language, but that does not matter to those whose language they speak i guess

No not at all, I just don't want this thread to digress into controversy.

Reality TV Show's:

2 Corinthians 12:20 KJV
For I fear, lest, when I come, I shall not find you such as I would, and that I shall be found unto you such as ye would not: lest there be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings, whisperings, swellings, tumults:

You can't really choose what you watch while it's all selected for you, especially the TV advertising thats directed to make you buy buy buy.

An old friend once said this about television.

"Tv is a reflection of societies sickness"
When I have ours in the "on" position I try to be selective but so many of the commercials to my way of thinking should be X rated but the only way to avoid them completely might be by following the example of our friend @Dave L . On the other hand the devices themselves are not inherently evil are they. We are communicating on them now.

Ok you wanted me to point out a post, well this one will do.

I don't understand the concept your trying to present, you abbreviate because which I have to work out to my own effort. Then after that I can't understand the point your making, it's as if you're for and against your own judgment.

I never said TV is evil, what they put on it is.

I'm listing to SoundCloud at this moment and a ad just came on.

The presenter is advertising a new car, he says if I buy it I will feel good about it.

I think bbdr 007 Mr bond will be stewing in his own juices about now, if I could actually understand his posts. But I do like him, he's very original.
