I couldn't resist responding to this topic.
Firstly: Please do not personally attack anyone. We have ZERO TOLERANCE for that over here.
Now, Ndtvideas, I will respond to your original post:
[quote=]I am one of those few intellegient person , who does not waste time watching stupid televison serials on the idiot box.[/quote]
Since you are new to the forum, kindly get acquainted with the Forum Code of Conduct.
By calling yourself intelligent and implying that others (who watch TV serials) are stupid, you are attacking them personally. This is a debatable topic, but you must frame your arguments appropriately without insulting other members (most of whom watch TV serials on this forum) .
[quote=]All the soaps on all the channels (be it Sony ,Zee ,Star Plus , Sahara,etc ; not necessarily in that order) are meant to brainwash gullible viewers .They corrupt the minds of the people.
They have only one intention ; to increase their TRPs ,
So , while the viewer desparately waits for something to happen , the channel drags the soaps for years on end , sometimes with stories so mundane & stupid , but the viewer still continues to watch the soap .The fact is that these serials are dragged for so long , that a story(or rather no-story) , which could be shown within 30 minutes is showed over a period of 30 weeks (if not more ) , with silly idiotic stuff .[/quote]
Agree completely. I do not watch soaps either due to the same reason. However, I do not try to enforce my "intellegient" views on other people!
[quote=]I have one simple question to whover watches these soaps ; What do you get by watching these soaps ?
I know some people if asked will give silly answers like they entertain us or help us relax , ...,but the fact is they serve no purpose .
It's sad to see that even educated people don't understand the logic behind running these serials , let alone illiterate people from rural areas.
The only gainer out of these trash serials are the people associated with it ; producres , directors , actors ,etc ; while the comman man watching this stands to gain nothing .
So , my intention is to get people to understand the reality & not get addicted to these rubbish stuff.
I hope , you will stop watching these soaps after reading this

I disagree that soaps serve no purpose whatsoever. Human beings are selfish by nature (its Economics!). We never do anything which does not give us satisfaction or happiness.
Just because your definition of "purpose" does not meet someone else's, it does not mean that you should set out to "educate" them and preach about what one could be doing instead of watching TV.
We are all different. There is beauty in diversity! If everyone did the same thing, life would be a bore and we would be robots!
Lets "live and let live", shall we?
