I'm taking a 6 month leave of the Internet...................ASK ME A QUESTION.

Please just go away and shut up. The world will be a better place.

I agree with just about 100% of what you wrote.

The last TV I owned was more than 10 years ago. I went in favor of print and the 'net, cooler mediums in the sense of allowing more thoughtful analysis I thought.

Now IMO the 'net has become ubiquitous, a cash cow, and the mis and dis info put forth has morphed into an art form almost. Plus, it's a huge, engulfing time sink.

One of my dearest old friends, and mentor, was a man who lived in a very remote part of the world. He read no newspapers, had no radio nor TV let alone a computer or net connection. Yet he was the most informed person I've ever met, saw the big picture clearly and was never confused by the daily scuttlebutt or the bread and circuses.

I support your decision OP, I want to move in that direction as well.

The Internet is not heavily controlled like T.V. and newsprint.

Anyone can post virtually anything in cyberspace.

This is good.

You see the difference?


------



The internet is heavily 'influenced.' How about that?


soon to be completely controlled.


I see little difference. If it's influenced properly (which it's pretty much there now), it is the same as being controlled...even if you think 'we' control it. We don't.



The Internet would cease to exist if this happened.

It would simply be TV again, and there is no sign of things regressing like this, save some emergency shutdown protocol.

And even that is an unknown.

You would have to 'control' everyone who would interface with the net.

That won't happen.


------




It's already happening...and it still exists.

In fact, people have fallen in line just like the sheep we are. Aren't you catching on yet? Don't you get their methods yet? They give you the illusion of choice, but the choices they offer all work towards their end. The fact that you think you have some control of media, is proof that their plan is rolling along perfectly.


Do you think that all this 'waking up' isn't planned...by their design?


Sorry, we are being controlled more than ever...we just think we aren't. It's a perfect plan.



If they are the masters of reality, why bother having the Internet in the first place?

If 'they' are all powerfull, why even start a medium where they can be exposed?

Where's the logic?


------



One: they are not "all powerful," or "masters of reality," they just think they are...and want you to believe they are.

Two: You, "waking up," is by their design and not by your 'uncanny ability to find the truth,' as you would like to believe.

The internet is important for this reason, among many other reasons.

Will you still check email? What about bill pay?

Plus, the Internet has a shelf life. It's usefulness will run out, and be supplanted by a communication medium that's much more grander and faster than we could ever imagine. ------

Well, good for you. I have tried to do the same in the past, but without success. It truly is as addictive as television, if not more so. I am in a contract until next spring, but when it ends, I will not renew. I think the Internet is the ultimate distraction.

have you left yet?

Do you shave your balls?



Of Course.

Do you shave your balls?



Of Course.



Why do you guys shave your balls? Doesn't that hurt?

Your brain wii die...

Your brain wii die...



How does a brain die anymore than it does on the internet?

Can you email a friend from time to time?

We are friends, right?

Email in my signature.

I applaud your decision, btw.

Peace & Blessings to you, friend
