OK, I see. Uropeen TV good. U.S. TV bad. Talk about prejudice. That isn't what I said, although its generally accepted to be true. What I did say is that due to my geographical location I can watch a lot of national television direct, which is simply not available in the US. During the almost six years I lived in Germany, I enjoyed watching not just US and German movies, but movies from all over the world dubbed in German. I do miss that at times here in the states, but one thing I did notice was how much American TV was all over the German TV networks. In fact, many of my German friends were as addicted to shows like 90210, Melrose Place, The A-Team (believe it or not!), Knight Rider, etc. as some folks in the US. I had to sometimes explain, that life wasn't really like that back home. Dave -- You can talk about us, but you can't talk without us! US Army Signal Corps!! www.geocities.com/davidcasey98 |

I had to sometimes explain, that life wasn't really like that back home. The A-team are still going strong on RTL. there are a lot of German channels free-to-air. Just wish I could understand more of the Arabic channels to know what they really think. The ability to acquire exceeds the ability to extract meaning. DW provides an interesting European perspective on world news as does Morocco who broadcast news in faultless Spanish and French. Its interesting when there is a live news conference shown by a number of stations what time delay is involved, and who shows the most. BBC Parliament is also very interesting as one can watch the political debates live, in full and without any spin added by journalists. Particularly useful when they showed a repeat of Dr Kelly giving evidence, which contrasted to the parts out of context the news channels showed. -- Jim Watt http://www.gibnet.com |

Do you think I use tin cans and a piece of string? I'm sure I don't know, nor do I care. Also do not confuse the access to television you have tightly controlled by cable companies to what I have from an array of dishes. OK, I see. Uropeen TV good. U.S. TV bad. Talk about prejudice. That isn't what I said, although its generally accepted to be true. I see. You just didn't want to appear to be saying it. What I did say is that due to my geographical location I can watch a lot of national television direct, which is simply not available in the US. You, also, said "generally accepted". See what I mean about appearing? You also asserted all television was rubbish although you are not able to see it. No, I didn't. Read it again. Go for comprehension this time. I didn't even imply it. If you're going to paraphrase, try to get it right. I said it was entertainment and it is, even the news and proported documentaries. FWIW, I'm not a hermit living in a cave. I had TV till 10 years ago and decided it was entertainment, poor entertainment at that. I'm also aware those who choose to do so may obtain inexpensive satellite service providing 500+ channels of programming, including numerous Canadian, Mexican and other Latin American stations. I don't find it surprising you might receive Iraqi programming as it is no farther from Seville-Baghdad than it is Miami-Seattle and I can drive there without being subject to the whims of half dozen or so tinpot dictators who's ideas of justice include the traumatic removal of body parts for minor indiscretions and the stoning of women for adultry. And you say you're offended we execute murderers. Uropeeans appear quite happy to do business with these folks without a wimper and yet question U.S. justice and motivation. How cheesy. No wonder Congress rejected the IKK. Pot... Kettle... Black. Sorta like being a television elitist, eh? Or maybe you think yourself above yorkshireman? Those who live in a paper bag for sure.. Ah, let's see... The Uropeean family gathered round the telly for an evening of cultural awareness, intellectual stimulation and refined viewing presented in the best traditions of the Benny Hill Show. Guess there's no accounting for the tastes of the cultural elitists. I see the error of my ways. |
