  Re: TV-B-Gone
 
(...) Is it ok to "force" music in public? Or overhearing people talk to each other, or on cellphones? What about the people in the airport that have a few hours to kill, and you turning off the TV will make their wait feel that much longer? Why do (...)

(...) (URL) I can't wait to get mine. I hate those dang idiot boxes. (...) Yes! If I end up getting one of these, I'll always ask an employee (and thus agent of the owner) for permission before using it... (...) Why, did something significant (...)

  Re: TV-B-Gone
 
(...) I saw it... and yet... Yes, I can understand hating TV. But in your own home, you have your own remote, so you don't need this. In a public place, isn't it the proprietor's privilage to choose what, if anything, is on? Can you imagine the riot (...)

  Re: Personality test vs. Religion
 
(...) I still don't agree that "structure" and "meander" are reasonable opposites except in some interpretive, poetic sense, and in this regard they forfeit their use as scientific tools of assessment. Looking at the Myers-Briggs test, I can't (...) (20 years ago, 28-Oct-04, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
