its great television.

Dr. Drew · 09-20-2009, 08:15 PM

oh, in that case, carryon

Waves · 09-20-2009, 08:16 PM

oh and they lump in video game addiction alongside crackheads and baseheads and smackheads.

that shit makes me sick... I have a friend whos sister is bulimic. I was friends with him for a long time and I never once experienced her eating too much or anything while watching, but I do know that food would seriously disapear from his house. Like if I slept the night at his house something that I saw on the counter or in the fridge the night before was gone in the morning. Just insane shit, that shits not good for you.

well you have to think, they aren't saying that in a measure of how much damage you do to yourself, but rather how productive are you to society..

having a dream of being a film actor is not exactly productive, neither is playing video game 8 hours a day. It's more of a matter of how active in society are you than how much weed you can smoke in one day.

i would agree with that, i think its whacky to equate physical health with productivity.

not only that but, another gripe i have with the show is that when it comes to addiction i would say theres a huge difference between a physical addiction to a drug, that would kill you if you were to cut out that drug completely, and being mentally addicted to an activity like video games. stuff like sex addiction and video game addiction are much less of a problem to a person and society as a whole than drug addiction.

to see them being treated by the exact same people and with the exact same methods is laughable. but then again thats why i watch this show.

they're probably even more dangerous, crackheads and what are dependent on a substance, pretty straight forward, but the psychological addicts are just fucking crazy.
