CrypticVillain Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Willpower is the ability to exert one's will over one's action We do things all the time that we say we can live without. For example, watching the television. There are over 300 million people in the United States. Together we watch 250 BILLION hours of television per year. If you break that down that is like each American sitting in front of the TV for 35 days straight doing nothing except watching TV. Now what does this have to do with WILLPOWER? I want to know if you can go one week with out watching NOT A SINGLE SECOND OF TV!!!! Next week (March 30th - April 6th) Is National TV Turnoff Week. I want to know if you all have the willpower, no I want to know if we have the willpower to turnoff that TV for a week. Here are the rules: - No TV - No Movies on the TV or Computer - No Video Games - No Moving images at all. Exceptions - If you work around TV try not to look at it no longer then 7 seconds - If you are a producer do your job, Producing a TV show/program is different from watching it. Thats it, Thats all. Feel free to pass it along to other people. Now lets see who can exert their will over their action Good Day, MLSKINS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ComebackKing Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Meh I just got through Lent, now you're asking me to give up more? Forget that! I don't watch much TV anyway. Mainly only sporting events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd be willing to try...what happens if we cheat?..lol Nothing except the knowledge of you knowing that you cheated. Yeah it does suck but I am doing this for school and I don't need an A but I like challenging myself. Now if this was in September we would have a problem.

My first thought as well. I have to miss part of the Elite 8, as well as the 2 National Semifinal games? It's not possible. Schedule this for the summer, I would actually do it then....
