    I remember seeing that same ing thing when I was delivering toys for Elf Louise a few years back. Walk into a few houses on the near East Side and I barely have room to walk in the 6x6 living room for these poor kids because the parents have a HUGE ING BIG SCREEN TV THERE.

    ing idiots.

    Okay the video is skipping around for me so maybe I'm not hearing the full story. Is this a story that this family is too poor to heat their home? Cause I never heard that; I just heard that girl say she chooses not to use that propane heater because of safety concerns.

    And what the is the big deal anyway? They're inside and they're not like homeless people who sleep on a bench. So they have to use blankets, big ing deal. Its not THAT cold. I could easily go without the heater (I don't really like it and I bundle the up but i don't go on the news about it) as long as you bundle up. The fact that some assholes who won't buy a heater instead of brand new TV are cold is a news story?

    You might have to read the story on the website to get the whole picture.

    With adults I'd probably agree, but with a young child I wouldn't take any chances. I was telling my wife the other day how the smartest thing to do is wear a sweater inside so you don't have to turn the heat up to high, but she wouldn't have any of that.

    Dude kids in Russia would go swimming in this weather.

    I know I'm probably the last person who should be complaining about another person complaining about the cold because I'm a pretty big pussy when it comes to the cold but going on the news like that is meh.

    If they were good Mexicans they'd just turn on a couple burners on the stove.

    From what I understand the tech was trying to get their CENTRAL heating going, if that's the case he should have told them from the get go that once he fixes it he's taking the tv with him.

    They probably would have their pants and called KSAT or KENS instead of giving up that tv.

    I'm copying and pasting my response from another message board...


    Did y'all listen to how many people live in that house? It sounds like a lot. And who knows, maybe they bought that TV a long time ago (before everyone moved in... before things got rough) ... I feel for anyone who cannot afford a heater or even air conditioning .. no matter what kinds of material goods they have.

    Goodness, I know that some people in your neighborhoods (nice new development neighborhoods) have probably lost their jobs but they have kids in braces, nice TVs, nice cars, etc. because their they had benefits and a great income. But now their unemployment is barely covering the utilities. And then the heater breaks and they cannot afford to fix it.... do you not feel bad for your neighbors because they have all those material goods? Just give everyone a break.

    You're ing stupid, you sell your flat screen tv before you allow your children to live in a home without heating during the winter.

    There's no way you can justify that type of behavior.

    These people weren't willing to make that sacrifice, they would rather beg for handouts.

    Ashbeigh I grew up at times when my mom couldn't afford to to pay utilities and we sat in the dark. I grew up in an apartment at times with no AC in pretty brutal SA summers. My grand parents never had AC up until I was about 14 or 15 and I spent many summers down with them in the valley.

    We were ing poor and we didn't have much.

    That being said.......


    WE NEVER HAD A BIG SCREEN TV IN OUR ING HOME AND IF WE HAD IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE FIRST THING MY MOTHER SOLD TO MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T SIT IN THE ING COLD.

    I understand. And I would be like your mom. Different strokes for different folks. That's just what I'm saying.

    Sure - if you don't mind being cold then I see no problem with having a big screen TV. People are allowed to make up their own priorities.

    But when you consider they went on TV complaining about this problem and that TV says they haven't exhausted everything they could do its ing re ed. Congrats to them for getting over, I guess.

    I still say the tech should have walked out of that home with the TV.

    No, that's not what you said at all.
