FYI ,, I heard of one friend who called the cable company and asked about rates and possibly disconnecting their service for good. While the conversation with the rep covered a variety of prices and costs it ended up that “they” offered the same service with a reduced rate for several months just to “keep” the service going on her account. Cable company kept a customer, and a customer was happy with a reduced bill, a true win-win.
I'm nobody's bible thumper, but I swear, a whole lot of garbage on TV. I blame all the dumb ass reality shows for half of it.
U know I am sure I don't thump my Bible as much as I should, but I am beginning to think some of those religious zealots might have a point. Just be cause u have the liberty to live as low as u can doesn't mean u should. WTFreak is going on... The media makes wrong seem like its right& glorious. Funny and acceptable while making it seem strange if u believe in just plain ole human decency. Hard to find entertainment that supports family values. Reality TV scares me. I use to think they must pay people to act like that, but with reality TV has come this acceptance that the sky is the limit for out of control behavior and ur entitled cross every moral boundary without any responsibility to humanity or one's self. I would rather be a Bible Thumper than a reprobate. I wonder if it has come to the point where u got make that kind of choice
That is why we gave up satellite TV and put an antenna up. We get about 40 channels and I don't have to pay a dime.
My tipping point was when they started running infomercials on channels like Food Network etc. Always in the middle of the night turned into starting at 10-11pm which now runs over until 9-10am.
I admire u for that. I think that is exactly what I want to do. U should not have to be morally hijacked in ur own home and pay for the pleasure

Excuse me, but that is not entertaining I don't want to pay for that type of gross movies.
I wonder about the moral decline and the consequences. I could vent more but I will spare yall

I long ago have given up on cable AND TV in general. I no longer have the interest of following celebs and watching trivial shows that lack quality. Don't even get me started on the lack of morality constantly displayed on TV ... It's hilarious that the cable company keeps sending me advertisements in Spanish because I guess they cannot fathom any English-speaking American would not want cable! LOL!

Just don't go all postal like that one guy in the news did. they raised the price of some nasty burrito that TB has, he went postal and started shoot up the joint.......
The TB vs del taco argument is like bragging about who has the biggest cold sore.......
