The problem is that people have made entertainment among the top priorities in their lives. - ElanorGamgee

I agree a bit with this. I tend not to sterotype a culture and/or an organization. To be honest I consider the Barrowdowns forum and chatroom to be my entertainment.


And advertising, which sticks to every mind - it never shows kids studying. - akhtene

I see college commercials on T.V, billboards, and mail flyers. I understand what you mean akhtene, but its out there, just covered in jibber-jabber.

A marketing research firm just came up with the brilliant idea to take school kids on field trips - not to the zoo, not to a museum - but to the mall! - Birdland

Thats just plain scary. People have their whole life to be a consumer, I think it is a rather easy task to perform. You buy what you need and want.
