The world would colapse, I mean, there is a LOT of information on the internet, most of the world's financial activities are on the internet, can you imagine people printing thousands of pages and sending it to another continent in 21st century?

hmm, well, I think it is his fault, if he has kids at home, why would he sign up for an adult channel? It should be at least password protected, so that it would not accessible for the boy

Yeah, it should be legalized, but not on the streets, there should be legal places for it, and not allowing our kids to see hookers around near a school for example lol

I'm not addicted, I have to say I like to shop, but I'm not an addict, when I'm about to buy something I think "when is it going to break down?", that helps me to choose usefull things only lol

most people start to buy a lot when they are teens or even kids and their parents buy them everything they ask for, parents who do not know how to say no end up influencing their kids...

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

That happens to me too, I always eat more than usual when I need to stay up until very late, and eating at night is a bad thing, as your body will have a hard time processing food while you're sleeping

What do you think about it? I was an addict for a long time, I used to drink like a liter or two per day, I lost my sleep and everything, but I'm very fine now, only drink it sometimes, did it happen to anyone else?

I have seen some people on such a desperate addiction to gamling, when they have no money and they don't want to sell things, that they gamble things itself, like cars or expensive objects, that so sad, things someone took their whole like to buy going away for nothing!

I know it may seem a bit weird, but I still remember from the time I was a little child, that I saw other children eating paper, for nothing, they were not hungry, they just wanted to eat it, can anyone explain it to me?

That's such a sad thing, some people don't want to leave their houses anymore because they prefer to be in front of a screen talking to strangers, I can't see "human evolution" on that

Yes, holidays are such a bad time for addicts, they always feel like buying, but it is a lot more intense when they see promotions from stores everywhere, like % OFF, that can make someone go crazy, really!

I did not know about these numbers but I always knew it was a problem, some people work with the internet of offices and everything, and this sites take their attention off, that's a big trouble, some sites should be blocked at work in my opinion ;)

26 hours per week, that is a bit more than 3 hours a day, well, I can consider myself an addict than lol, but anyway, some people need the internet to work and all, I just think it is an addiction when it gets out of control

It may sound a bit strange to talk about that, but this is something real, peole changing couples to have sex, the famous "swing" thing, what you think that are the pros and cons of it? Is it an addiction to sex? Just a way to change a bit?

For me, all the soap operas have the same story, some sort of love, some good and bad people die, and at the end everything is fine, I really do not like them, what about you? :)

Most people doubt when I say that, but I have a friend who drank it, it is cheap and gets you drunk quickly, he got drunk and went straight to the hospital with an alcoholic coma, that's something bad, as everyone can buy that!
