It would be weird if it were casual friends or co-workers.

Winner. Thread over.

We have 6 TVs. If you come to my house I will make sure every single tv is on just to aggravate your ass and hope you never come back.

Then you'll have something to bitch about on here.

TV lovers have such a way with words, don't they?

This whole "I'm so enlightened because I don't watch TV" is so damn laughable and pathetic.

There's a reason why you are often the guest and not the host. Your guests secretly think your parties are dull as hell. I hope you at least offer wine to dull the pain.

Obviously, TV is extremely important to you. Extremely.

Not at all. That's what you anti-TV folks don't get. It's not a big deal, either way. You folks are the ones who make it a big deal, carefully rationing out your 2-3 budgeted hours a week.

I do not ration it out. It's so far off my radar screen, I don't watch it at all or think about it. That is what you pro-TV folks don't get.

Hmmm, so you NEVER watch a television program? Let me guess: you don't own a TV, but watch shows on your computer? I know a lot of hypocrites like you.

Why does it bother you so much that people don't like your TV? Do you have to try to please people all the time? Do you get so upset when hearing people don't care for something you do? Fine. Live your life. Own it. Move on.

We have a TV and DD watches DVDs.

We don't watch anything on our computer b/c I do not have one at home (I am posting from work now) and DH has an Ipad from work, but he tells me he doesn't want to try to watch TV on it since it's from work, and I haven't cared enough or been motivated enough to even try to figure out if that's right or wrong; I've just accepted it. So, yeah, I pretty much don't care. So yeah, I'm not rationing anything out! I don't care!

Elvis and Sammy Davis Jr. had a TV in every room.

I'd give your comment more respect if you'd actually have the balls to say this to a black person. Alas, most racists are weak and cowardly.

PS Our TV doesn't get any tv shows on it b/c we have no cable or anything like that. So, it is just for watching DVDs. We get no reception whatsoever without cable or FIOS or whatever.

Well, at least your DD is not a sacrificial lamb to your more cerebral pursuits.

Not dictating. Just letting you know why we hate going to your house.

Are you that intolerant that you can't suck it up for a few hours? Some folks enjoy a lively get-together; others a more bookstore/cafe experience. Enjoy them each for what they are and then go back home to what you personally enjoy.

Yes. If I wanted TV on, I'd stay home.
