>" there are plenty of people too busy trying to get the next meal than to do anything else."

Incredible that they have on average 6 hours per day to watch television, given how busy you say they are.

What is incredible is that you can't conceive of how an average of six hours of TV watching might allow for many people to watch zero hours of television.

But since you brought it up, maybe you should look into what kind of people watch >6 hours of television per day.

Poor people, which was exactly my point.

Poor people who are poor because they can't find jobs?

[hodwik]

Maybe they shouldn't be watching six hours of TV a day then.

hodwik is calling the entire poor class lazy. If being uncivil is something that's not allowed here, then why isn't he being reprimanded for being uncivil to an entire class of people?
