We do have a television in my house. It's in the living room in fact, has been since I can remember. And I do watch TV, mostly educational television and DVDs. I don't own any pornos because I can get that stuff for free from the Internet when I need it. I prefer the more esoteric stuff anyway. I guess I could probably get all my TV from the Internet, actually, but I haven't moved that far into the 21st Century yet.
But my family doesn't sit around the television to eat, or bond, or what have you. Frankly, we've never felt like passive entertainment was all that good for family togetherness anyway. The living room is for guests and rare movie nights. So's the television. In my family, when we want to socialize, we strip down and head for a more comfortable location. There's the bedrooms, but we also have a rumpus room downstairs just crying out for sex. Lots of pillows, a nice sound system, just a good place to lounge around naked even if you're not doing anything more exciting. When I was a kid I used to do my homework down there, among other things.
I guess I just don't see how getting exercise and expressing love is less healthy than sitting on your ass and watching TV. I credit my continued health and fitness to all the aerobics I've done as part of family bonding.
