chash,
“people rationalize aveiros all the time, and they do it for watching stuff like the super bowl too, in fact…”
“A person i know just came over to me telling me that he was horrified, that although he was aware that they were going to watch the superbowl, he took it for granted that they would shut it for the half time…”
I agree with everything you wrote in your post. It’s quite different in tone and even substance from what Joseph wrote.
