Thousands, if not millions, of women and men waste a good part of the day
watching these things. They lose so much productivity and gain absolutely
nothing from them except not being bored for the 4 hours they watch them.
Also, it reinforces the romance myth of life. Sets their thinking patterns
into templates that will never be fulfilled. And young people are seeing
all these fucked up relationships where the whole cast is married at one
time or another to the other cast members. That's worse than pot because at
least people understand pot's effects. Soap Operas are worse than pot
because people don't think they are harmful.

If they were smoking pot then they would probably realize just how bad what
they were watching really is. This is Doane, isn't it? Who else could make
the jump from soap to dope?

Doane is a troll, not me. I'm being serious.
Soaps are the opiate of the people.

People who spend large chunks of their time playing videogames probably
shouldn't be pointing the finger of blame at what other people do for
entertainment.

So *you're* the tard at my local video store who can't figure out how to
frigging alphabatize the DVDs. Keep up the great work...

And a lot of women leave soap operas on while working around the house.
Soap operas are designed to be viewed in this way, with a lot of
redundancy so that you can pick up the plot even if doing something
else at the same time. It is very hard to do anything else productive
while playing a videogame.

Yeah ... I wish games that could be played while exercising had caught on.

And, did you misread my post to say that everyone in the world wasn't?

Try playing games such as 'Rollercoaster Tycoon' or 'Sim City' or even
'The Sims'. These games don't require constant attention (well, 'The
Sims' does to an extent) and you can go about other things whilst
playing (i.e. leave the PC and come back 20 minutes later).
Though Sim City 4 is a bit harder!
