"Why Asia Will Overtake America" by Dr. Gary North

[Theocrat]

Asians manufacture cheap televisions and sophisticated home theater audio systems. Americans buy them. Then we use them, expensively. The cost in forfeited productivity of watching television is greater than any other single waste factor in the West's economy. The only thing that comes close is Web media. TV consumes on average 4 to 5 hours a day of every American's life. The statistics are really amazing:

Web-based time consumption is catching up, especially among teenagers. Teens spend between 7 and 8 hours a day on media-related leisure.

I watch TV maybe an hour a day. I watch more these days than I did for over 35 years. I bought a big-screen HDTV and cable in 2008. I watch maybe three one-hour dramatic shows -- no ads (fast forward) -- plus "Sunday Morning" (no ads), and maybe one free movie. I try to watch 30 minutes of "Yes, Minister" re-runs on Netflix, plus at least one "Bertie & Jeeves" from Netflix. When "Foyle's War" or the sequel is on, I watch. That's about it. This is the wind-down from my work day, which begins at 4:30 a.m. and ends -- maybe -- at 7:30 or 8 p.m., 6 days a week.

I don't waste a lot of time.

I feel bad, spending to much time on the nets. Time to read a book!

Does this guy consider anything that isn't work to be waste?

OK

All this is true, and its also true that whites have simply stopped doing their job in the bedroom or they are using too much birth control or running after other material things.

Looks like whites will vanish from the face of earth within this century.

Look at the explosive birth rates in Asia, especially, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia.

The birth rates in islamic world and far east such as phillipines, Indo-China and Indonesia are explosive. And they have strong families and they dont put up with marxist agenda of sexual lib.

Demographic suicide will destroy europe and America.

Dont worry. When whites get as poor as the rest the only thing left to do will be to fuck, and fuck we will.

Dr. North is Making Contrasts

Does this guy consider anything that isn't work to be waste?

It does seem like Dr. North is implying that; however, he did mention that he has a big-screen HDTV and cable, so I'm sure he believes in enjoying the luxuries one acquires in life from hard work. After all, he is a capitalist.

I think what Dr. North is getting at is the excess of entertainment in America is equaled to the excess of education and working in Asian nations. Those nations emphasize a "harder" work ethic to produce and be innovative, whereas, we in America emphasize comforts and material wealth (seeing education and working as a means to those better ends).
