[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not anti-tv, but if you need a television on to connect with people, you probably need to work on your social skills.[/quote]

That's not what is being said in this thread. Instead, folks are saying they CAN'T connect when the TV is on. Sounds like the deficiency is with the anti-TV folks. [/quote]

I like people with whom I am conversing to give me their uninterrupted attention. Come to think of it, that's why I prefer adults only parties as well, so people aren't distracted by their kids either.[/quote]

Ah, so you're emotionally needy? Got it. [/quote]

It's emotionally needy to want someone's attention during a conversation? Are you one of those who texts while you're out to lunch with a friend? I don't go for that either.[/quote]

Nope, but the idea that you don't want kids around so that someone can fully focus on your hammertoe crisis? Over the top and very needy. [/quote]

Why? I give my friend whose mother is dying of ALS my full attention; she can certainly spend ten minutes of her life asking me how my business is going.[/quote]

OMG, I can't stand tit for tat people like you. Do everyone a favor and stay home![/quote]
