yep and have never cared for shows that focus on violence and suffering.
Wife has always liked them though.
She dragged me to see pulp fiction with her at the theater.
She will never pay off that debt.
Blow a guys brains out and people laughing in the theater?
Humans...
Sounds like Deadpool, which is funny if you don't consider that kids are thinking what he does is a fine idea.
I have no idea what Deadpool is and glad of it I think.
Many years ago there was a show about home videos (uh, Funniest Home Vidoes?) and I only watched it a few times when I realized that when someone got hurt, that's when the audience laughed loudest. OK, maybe the person who got hurt was an idiot for doing that, but regardless of the stupidity, I have never found that someone getting seriously injured was funny. Yet the audience roared. Why? Are they all closet sadists?
Perhaps because the idiot did something horribly stupid, and shamelessly submitted the video for all the world to watch.
imho all the violence in TV, video games, etc has desensitized the American population to such things. And has made us a less kind society.
yeah Youtube kinda replaced that show....
They have a lot of those idiots making youtube videos with their dump-phones.
I agree wholeheartedly. Hell, that's the only thing on the TV, killing. Children are brought up with people killing one another....and the goberment is worried about flavored ejuice....incredible.
The Jacka$$ movies made things worse. People actually compete to see who can do the dumbest thing they can, regardless of consequences.
Ahh but humans will focus on things that OTHERS must do to fix things but not on something that THEY must do such as regulate what they and their children watch...
Part of our blameless not my fault society.
It seems rather stupid when you think of modern parenting. It's too dangerous for kids to go play outside, so they give them an Xbox and violent shoot-em-up games to keep them occupied.
When I was in high school, many people thought I was a natural comedian (fat boys usually are and they did not know of my scholarly ambitions).
Today, Lannie tells me I have almost no sense of humor left. I suspect that modern society is responsible for that. Things that most people laugh at are not funny --- they are stupid. I have never laughed at stupidity and it seems that is all we have today.
And to many parents school is just a baby sitter...
I classify those more like slapstick because you know the stupidity is scripted, not real.
Yeah but there is plenty of REAL stupidity out there and you don't have to turn on the tube to see it
On the other hand only 1 or 2 US sickcoms that I like any.
Wal Mart?
Careful now stay away from politics please
That's fur-shur....like i said yesterday. You can't drive for a mile in any direction around here without seeing some jackass texting while driving.
You hit the nail on the head there Robert
Wish I had a discreet EMP gun that would fry their phone...
Nope not going thereCareful now stay away from politics please
Definitely thick at wally-world.
Or seeing a tractor-trailer try to make a sharp turn onto a narrow street and get stuck. Once was a Swift truck. Phillip took all of 3 minutes to get it when I said " wow, real swift!"
I must be old I can remember when phones were used for calling people
Heck I even know what 'dialing' a number really means
And when there was only one phone is the house, and it was hard wired and mounted to a wall.Heck I even know what 'dialing' a number really means
Of course even then if it rang and there were teenagers in the house there was a stampede towards the phone...
At least the cord prevented the hand piece from going too far.
yeah a primitive form of social media I suppose?
Part lines could be fun, as long as everything in the house was super quiet so nobody knew someone was list tensing in.
Well folks beddy bye time for me.
Nite all.
Nite all.
Note, Robert
Just for a slight change of subject matter, we had a visitor today.
The bald eagles in South Dakota all live in the Black Hills, which is 75 miles (minimum) from here, yet when we went out for evening chores tonight, there he was, sitting at the top of a Cottonwood tree. We have lots of local hawks, owls, etc., but the eagles are a real rarity out here on the Prairie.

I still have an old dialer in the shop.Heck I even know what 'dialing' a number really means
Nice picture.....there are quite a few in Arizona too.
G'Night Robert see you tomorrow my friend
We see a lot of them here especially along the river, good picture Rich
Last time I've seen bald eagles was in Tahoe. They are magnificent birds.
I remember seeing them in the mountains north of Tucson and sometimes at Grand Canyon. We had them all the time when I lived in central Orygun, so it was no big deal. Same for when I lived in Stevensville, Montana, but out here they are a real treat.
They are making a great comeback...!
Guinness? You have beer in your thoughts tonight?Rich...were the Guinness raising hell about the "Large Bird"......
Yes, the Guineas were on full predator alert, which is how we located the eagle (that tree is at the northern boundary of our property and we seldom even look there when headed for the barns). Had he been flying over the pastures, the Pyrs would have also been on alert (we taught them to chase off hawks), but they didn't see him in the tree. The Guineas rarely ever miss any predator.
Hahha...autocorrect on the dumb-phone.Guinness? You have beer in your thoughts tonight?
