Does anyone remember candy cigarettes? You would blow on them and this sugary powder would come out, and then you unwrap them and chew the gum inside. Back when I was younger I never thought anything of it, but I am so glad that they were pulled from the shelves. That's just one more thing that make it seem cool for kids to smoke.

Do you spend out of your budget? If you enjoy shopping and can easily afford it, then it doesn't seem , at least to me, that that is a problem. But if you have a compulsion to shop when you are feeling depressed then you may be using shopping to deal with underlying feelings. The reason that could be a problem is because you are using shopping as a means to medicate yourself and ignore your feelings.

The only bad side-effect from constant masturbation is low sperm count in men, and that takes some crazy amounts. Going blind, hairy palms and cancer are all myths, masturbation actually reduces hormonal-based cancers.

Heres the thing, 95% of people do it, 5% lie.

I'm not a big fan of cyber sex, I mean, I do not agree on that, it is kind of sick, looking at porn is a kind of fun if controled, but cyber sex is the same as protitution for free in my opinion

GAAAAAHH!!!!!

Alright, I already did this in a 3 page essay for school, so let me just sum it up here.

There is a huge difference between child molestation and pedophilia. A child molester is someone that has actually sexually abused a child, but they are not necessarily pedophiles. A pedophile is someone who has a sexual attraction to minors, but it doesn't mean they have sex with them.

It's like saying that all gay people have had sex with someone of the same gender.

Pedophilia is a sexual preference. A child molester is someone who has actually sexually abused a child in some way.

Being a child molester is a crime. Being a pedophile isn't. Do your research.

Penchant for paranoia and feels like she's being persecuted? Sounds like schizophrenia if she is paranoid about the silliest things, like if so-and-such is poisoning the water and all that.

This forrum is interesting hehe I never thought shopping addictions were serious. My friends and parents say I have one and my aprents get pretty mad about it but I always took it as a joke. I dont think I have a problem. But I do go to the mall atleast 4 times a week, and usually always buy something if not more. I dont spend way too much though I limit myself to 100 or 200 dollars and never go over it. Do I have an addiction? honestly?

From personal experience, edit buttons are more trouble than they're worth, it's too easy to offend a huge amount of people, and then edit your post to make them sound like the bad guys. I see it all the time.

Although, deleting posts would be a good feature to have.

Yes, deleting posts WOULD be really good, especially when members (like me, for instance) accidentally double-post, like I just did in another thread!

I have seen this happen quite a lot. I will see the same thread over and over like three times. Sometimes I don't know which one to reply to.

Fardreamer wrote at4101 wrote Latifa wrote Yep the prices will increase and it will put off a few of us but for others it will definitely not do anything, I love fast food and only over the last year have changed my eating habits but would always go to McDonalds on my lunch break as it used to be the cheapest thing around to buy and the quickest. I remember a time when a Quarter Pounder combo meal was 2.99. I would suck those things down and not gain a pound back in the day. Now they are almost 5.00 per combo and I don't dare touch them. $2.99? Heck, I remember when a Quarter Pounder with fries and a drink was $1.99. Problem is, the recession we are now in is going to usher in a wave of rising prices, starting with fossil fuels and gasoline and continuing up the chain all the way to food. So if anyone's a fast food addict, don't be surprised if prices go up even farther.

I feel bad for the fast food addicts. It is like smoking: the prices keep going up but people are so hooked that they just keep on paying.

surfboy wrote yeah i do agree because in some country rice is there staple food and they live consuming rice everyday and they need that. I don't think it is an addiction it is mainly a cultural tradition because some country they use bread as main source of carbs.

I agree. I don't think it is an addiction as much as something that is part of your culture. My friends family is Japanese and rice is used daily in their home with every meal.

I read somewhere that she is working hard to get her kids back. I wish her luck with that. Celebrity or not, that has to be extremely tough on her.

Ebay addiction seems to just keep growing and growing. I think there are a few factors involved. First, people like the thrill of out bidding others and the feeling of "winning", even if they ended up paying way too much. Others are addicted to buying things dirt cheap there, and even if they don't need it , they will buy and buy and buy because the price is so good.

I know a lady that used to spend most of her entire days just sitting at her pc and watching the bids on Ebay. She would do this constantly, then bid at the last minute before an auction would end. I am all for saving a bit of money, but some of these people take it to the extremes, and need to have Paypal and credit cards shut off before they E-bay away their bill money.

dartz said: First off, people can't log in unless they get a new password, but I put up a thread about dealing with that.

Secondly, the subscribed threads page on the profile doesn't seem to work right.

Third, is there an option to disable the Subscribe? box from being checked automatically? I'd rather not have my inbox full of replies because I forgot to uncheck it.

Fourth, a small thing but peoples names show up in all lowercase on the thread listing.

Edit:
Fifth, avatars seem to screw up big time, I mean, look at mine!
