I agree with you about 3D being a more productive pursuit vs. PC games (a former obsession of mine), or watching too much TV (not one of my vices). Because, as you point out so well -- it forces you to use your brain in an interactive way.
You've stated the positive side of the case very, very precisely. And I agree with you completely.
But 3D does carry with it the possibility of becoming an unhealthy addiction -- just like most anything can.
Isn't discipline in the Freestuff area a violation of site TOS? Or is it merely images of discipline? ;-)
Speaking of watching complete junk on TV......combined with images of discipline........
About a week ago, I saw an old Elvis movie -- Blue Hawaii. It's one of those truly bad Elvis movies: and it's worth watching just for that reason.
In one scene, the (then) 20-something Elvis chases down a misbehaving 17-year-old girl on a beach, catches her, and then proceeds to give her an enthusiastic spanking.
She was a high school girl that was a member of his tour group, you see......so naturally, a vital part of his job as the tour guide involved correcting the young lady's bad behavior.
That sort of "personal discipline" worked in 1961, I suppose........but if any 20-something man did such a thing to a 17-year-old girl nowadays: he'd be the one in trouble, I think..........
.......for violating the TOS.
The old movies aren't politically correct. That fact alone makes them worth seeing.
