  This is a way out to parents who wants their kids to grow up in a non violent and free of sensual indulgences of our decadent age:but how many of us can pull the plug?
  
  "First, negatively, smash the television set. The Catholic Church is not opposed to violence; only to unjust violence; so smash the television set. And, positively, put the time and money you now spend on such entertainment into a piano so that music is restored to your home, common, ordinary Christian music, much of which is very simple to play."

  Please pick up a book the restoration of christian culture....it's out of print and now sold for more than a hundred bucks in amazon but our library may have it.
  
  If MM Lee seriously wants a cultural renassiance like Italy in our region, we must first deemphasied the pop culture and find our religion and traditions ....it will be a hard and painful journey for both teachers and parents...christians or non christians if we do not want capitalism to destroy us....

  Television can be a source of information. Some of it can be harmful.
  
  As can books and newspapers. As can the internet. Pulling the plug on one is pointless unless you pull the plug on all
  
  Your argument for renaissance is really an argument for censorship in disguise.
  
  I'm disappointed in you.

  I find tat the threadstarter is often starting religious threads in speaker corner Why not pull the plug and go to countryside living but pull the plug and go to christian living ?
  
  U want to go to christian living, why don't u just emigrate and stay in some ulu christian country which is more easier ? U pull the plug in your house and he will find friends outside who r more entertaining
