3) yes playing and reading books are good too. So is good TV programs. Wait..books are bad..comics are violent. Pr0n books are bad. So, should I ban books?

4) TV does not encourage active thinking and learning huh? Well, they should stop making programs like math mansion or dora the exploer. Ah..I must have wasted all my years watching discovery channels and discovery science. All those stuffs I learn about the world, the people and human evolution are all useless. Passive waste of time.

I guess my toddler did not learn ABC or vocabulary from TV. Did not learn how to sing from purple dinosaur barney. I guess learn to sing from books or radio is better. More exciting. ooooohh...

What's the difference between letting your toddler watch a TV program teaching about ABC and giving him/her a book about ABC? I guess they won't pickup anything from TV ABC cause picture flashes too fast?

Well whatever works for you. You don't want your kids to watch any TVs, it is your style. I am totally fine. But condemning something that clearly have it's value as totally useless is just being ignorant. Just like people who does not play games and they blame games are bad. They just played something like solitaire and then think that they know what are games. Maybe you want to say games does not promote active thinking and learning...
