Re: For Me....
No one is forced, in any way, shape or form, to pay for cable service (beyond the strictly regulated, and therefore eminently affordable, local basic service). People don't want to pay for cable service because they would rather have more money to spend on other things -- it is as simple as that.
Practically no one who doesn't "want" to pay for cable service because they actually, honestly, consider it "overpriced" or "worthless", actually does pay for cable service, as you assert. Rather, they pay for cable service because they actually, honestly, consider it worth it despite their (and perhaps, your) excited protestations to the contrary. | |

Except that you seem to ignore the huge drop in cable TV quality with a constant price gouging every year.These two immediately render your argument false, sorry.

Ehh? And you know it exactly how...? Pal, you're pulling sh!t out of thin air, let's face it. Rather, they pay for cable service because they actually, honestly, consider it worth it despite their (and perhaps, your) excited protestations to the contrary.
BS - they are doing it becuase of habits. Ask anyone and nobody will tell you it's a well-priced, decent service - instead they will all whine about being more and more expensive etc but they won't do shit because they are addicted to this crap. --

| As I said, no one is forced, in any way, shape or form, to pay for cable service. No one. You seem to be ignoring that. You also seem to be saying that everyone else is an idiot and you're the only intelligent person, when the reality is that other people don't share your beliefs and values. Indeed, there are so many more of those "other" people that what you think is practically without merit. You're frustrated about that, that's clear. However, that is your problem, not theirs. They're getting what they want. You're not. They win. You lose. And getting frustrated about it doesn't actually improve your situation.
You choose to say that there has been a decrease in quality, ignoring excellent shows like Breaking Bad, Mad Men, In Plain Sight, etc. You refuse to acknowledge the reality that cable networks actually offer more, and better, service than they ever have before.
And your puerile vulgarity doesn't support your perspective either; it just makes it clearer that all we're reading is the rantings of a juvenile, or someone choosing to present themselves as such because they have no desire to engage in a mature discussion. | |
