Reality shows bore me to death, I don't get what makes them so popular anyway. If I want to see someone make a spectacle of themselves, I'll set up a soapbox and wait for someone with a crazy opinion to show up.

I never watch them, they make me puke, especially American Idol or whatever it is.

Some people overdo with pets a bit don't they, could this be an addiction. I don't mean overindulging their pets, I mean having more than you can care for. Like crazy cat ladies whose house are overun with hundreds of the furry things.

Some guys think they are too tough or macho for certain drinks. I've heard so many say "That's a girl drink" or something along those lines. I bet thats what the poster was referring to.

There are many religons that can help the addict with overcoming their addiction. One of the steps of the 12 step program is admitting that there is a recognizing a greater power that can give strength. This is pretty much in all religions. It is not a matter of just being a Christian that can help others recover. Getting closer to God (the creator of the world) can help many people overcome drugs. The important aspect is faith no matter if it is in the name of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, or another name.

Adultry has to be one of the most egregious things both men and woman
deal with on a daily basis. Desires of the heart are very hard to just lay aside
especially in emotional people because those feelings are sometimes
quite overwhelming.

I'm not so sure Jesus was speaking only of sexual "lust."

Maybe the prices will stop people going but I doubt it, I love fast food and I am terrible for McDonalds no matter what the price will be I will still eat it, I think its just like smoking if you want to do it then you will pay for it.

How many of us can't make it one day without drinking a Coke, Pepsi, or another carbondated drink? I know that I have been very guilty of this. Even diet sodas are not good for us and still have these addictive principles.

We are in 2007, and there is still prejudice against those who are overweight, I think it is ridiculous, no one is fat because they want to, but people are ignorant enough not to understand it...

It will take a lot more education from parents, friends, family, teachers, states, governments and other organizations to get the word out about just how bad this stuff is for everyone. It will also take stronger penalties and task forces that can stop the distribution of the crap.

Unfortunately I cant see it ever slowing down and I think teen drinking is getting worse, many learn from others experience or what they have been through but for some it doesnt make a difference so I am not too optimistic about the future and teen drinking.

Hi all,



I am new to the forum and not had a great deal of time to read through all of the posts though I will do, but my question is am I addicted to the internet? well I seem to think so and though only recently realised it. I work online and so naturally I am online more hours in the day, when I am not working I am emailing friends, chatting online to my parents as they are in another country, staying in contact with friends etc and basically online all day, so I know everyone is thinking so am I, but what is worrying me is it has got to the point where I will leave the internet to eat my dinner and that is it, so really everyday activities that I would normally do are just no longer happening, I blamed it on the fact that I was in another country now and not my home so naturally I would want to be online more, but its got to the point where my fiance gets totally abandoned and sometimes I dont even acknowledge him, which is now causing arguments between us, if he needs to use the internet for something I get really cheesed off that I have to leave it, when hes on here I sit twiddling my thumbs desperate to get back on it. I have 2 days off in the week and rather than go out for a walk or do something different I get straight onto the internet, my family are saying I am addicted and that I need to just break the routine, but its not so easy. I stay online from the second I wake up, till when I finally go to bed and unfortunately only go to bed when my fiance is moaning at me to get off the internet. I have decided to try and create a 'normal' working schedule to reduce the time on the internet and actually step outside the house even for a little walk.

There are generally underlying issues going on in peoples lives that cause them to become addicted to the internet. This can be lack of interest in knowing how you are in your house, where your friends online might acknowledge you as soon as you sign in. Or other various reasons.
