There are a lot of movies that make junkies seem as something funny. I would have to say I have watched several of these movies and find them humorous, however as a mom this humor is scary. I would hate for my son to find it funny and okay.

The porn industry does not care about anything except money. The thing is if Bob is not supplying easy porn to the internet then Fred down the road would be the one. It will never go away. Besides, I do not mind porn what bothers me is the illegal (minors/children, animals, snuff, rapes, etc) or just plain gross (body waste, extremely large items, etc) porn.

Actors like Drew shows there is no excuse to wreck your life with drugs other than the individual actor’s own weakness. I think that when one of these “role models” gets sick off into drugs we cut them out of the media. Why should they stop the way the system works now? Most people who do drugs do so to feel good about themselves. I would have to say if millions of people around the world wanted to know all about me every second that would just heighten the excitement of the drug.

This weekend I went on a casino cruse. The closest I had ever come to gambling before this is one of those places that pop out tickets and you trade them in for toys or shot glasses. It was fun, but in no way addictive at all for me. Every time I would start to lose I would think, man I could be using this money for something so much more important. When I won it was exciting, but not enough to remember the money that I wasted.

Those are simple yet inspirational. Sometimes inspirational messages are so long winded I lost track of the inspiring meaning. These are short in length by long in meaning.

I am right there with you fairytale. Sometimes the sales are just too good to pass up. I only bought 3 items this year; however I spent close to a $1,000. That $1,000 was very well spent: 42” HDTV, 1000 watt surround, and a trampoline.

I have never heard of someone being addicted to ketchup. I have heard of people enjoying ketchup on odd foods, but that is more of a personal preference rather than an addiction. I do not believe these individual have “compulsive physiological and psychological….(dictionary.com)” need for ketchup or a “condition of being habitually or compulsively occupied (dictionary.com)” with ketchup. I actually do not know of any food that “requires” ketchup. There are several foods that people find ketchup a normal additive, but nothing that requires ketchup.

I do not believe these individuals who eat dog meat are addicted. They do it out of personal taste and from what you said necessity, “They believed that dog meat help keep your body heat in cold climates…” I mean, I eat cow or chicken meat probably once a day and I have no addiction to cow or chicken. I eat these meats due to personal preference and to sustain a balance diet. I think you might be confusing the word addiction with personal preference.

I have noticed a few posts where people have been curious if people enjoying a certain item a lot, if it’s an addiction. What is an addiction and what is just a person’s personal preference?
