I never did. I don’t even think adults should have them in their homes. The programming is a poisonous influence on society. If you don’t believe me, give it up for a year and you’ll find yourself suffering less anxiety, you’ll have a more positive outlook on life and the future, and your train of thought will naturally gravitate toward more positive ideas. You will be a happier person, less cynical, and less of a defeatist.
On the other hand, I’m a huge proponent of the internet. The difference is, once you turn it on, instead of being spoonfed a bombardment of negative content and paranoia, you can control the content you watch. It makes all the difference in the world.
Left to their own devices, people are positive beings.
