You have 4000 fucking posts on ONE of most likely MANY forums you post on.Originally Posted by Elcura
GTFO with that "oh I'm addicted as hell to the internet, but I'm fine, but since you smoke pot you're worthless and have problems you must need to fix" shit.
Seriously look at yourself before you talk about other people's problems.
Being addicted to the internet doesn't seem as bad as being addicted to weed/alcohol for some reason
Yeap, and that reason is a combination of 2 things:Originally Posted by Lbelle
1. you've been told all your life that drugs r bad mmmkaay
2. you're personally addicted to the internet, therefore it CAN'T be as bad
a. drugs bring problems up, and have long term detrimental health effects, e.g. theyre badOriginally Posted by Plow
b. being addicted to the internet? what? if someones internet goes out, they dont start having seizures and going crazy over the internet, theyre just bored, and are forced to *gasp* do something irl
stung in the heart with a stingray!?!?Originally Posted by Zalius
but that's how my relationship is with both my parents, lol, but I choose this.
a. so does being on the internet excessivelyOriginally Posted by Zalius
b. If you don't believe people can be addicted to the internet, there's nothing anyone can say to you. But I'll try. Guess what... when I run out of pot, I don't start having seizures and going crazy over pot, I'm just bored, and forced to *gasp* do the same things I'd normally do, cept not be high while I do them.
I've never known anyone who actually did MDMA that noted any aphrodisiacal effects.. myself included. Everything is just more enjoyable for whatever reason.Originally Posted by 6souls
Plow, you're mentally retarded. Seriously. Let's compare, shall we?
I've never heard of a forum whore being arrested for posting on too many forums.
I've never heard of a forum whore being admitted to rehab.
I've never heard of forum whores forming gangs.
I've never heard of a forum whore killing brain cells from prolonged exposure.
afk while I pick at my acne.
rofl, worse evenAffective Disorder
21-year-old Wisconsin man mysteriously kills himself after playing Everquest. Shawn Woolley became addicted to the popular MMORPG, to the point were he could not distinguish the game from reality. Woolley lost his job, and was evicted from his apartment due to his gaming lifestyle. His mother found him relentlessly crying in front of his computer one day. It turns out Woolley was attacked in game by an online friend and had lost all his money and skills he had built up over the past few months. Woolley was submitted into an addiction program, treated for severe depression, and released on his own recognizance. Woolley was later found dead in front of his monitor on Thanksgiving Day, 2001, with a self inflicted gunshot wound to his head. Everquest was still on his screen.
But Totien is right, drugs are alot worse than an internet addiction. I think almost everyone knows someone or a friend of a friend that has fucked up their life because of substance abuse :/ Sadly, we still do them for whatever reason heh.
I'm addicted to myspace, but I make friends faster than I lose them, so it's ok.

That's close to correct, except that many people (myself included) believe that with *MOST* drugs, it's the drug LAWS that screw people's lives, and not the drugs themselves. (Of course there are things, like meth, that can quite literally instantly change a person for the worse regardless of laws.)But Totien is right, drugs are alot worse than an internet addiction. I think almost everyone knows someone or a friend of a friend that has fucked up their life because of substance abuse :/ Sadly, we still do them for whatever reason heh.
And lastly, and most importantly, things being used wrongly, or abused, or instances of addiction, do not make things bad.
All it takes to back up that point is one word.
Sex.
I acually am aginst all kinds stuff like drugs, I do beleave once a year is okay tho. If you get stoned out of your mind [pot onry.] who cares. If you get so drunk off your ass you cant walk, who cares. But once it goes beyond once or twice a year, and happands more then once a month you have a problem and need to go get checked out. I dont even smoke tabaco. I beleave anything of that sort is bad and wrong for you. I had been made fun of all thru my highschool year but you know what? I dont need that kind of shit to have fun, and neather should anyone else. I avoid the stoner types, the drunk types, and anything like that :]
That's one case, and while I'm sure there are more, the number doesn't even come close to drug related deaths.Originally Posted by Plow
I agree that the drug laws are usually the cause of problems instead of the actual influence of the drug, but the person knew what they were getting themselves into when they started. It's not like they didn't know it was illegal or wrong, it was their choice and they fucked up.
Also, many drugs are designed to get you crazily addicted and basically make your life revolve around itself.
lol the last line sums it all up.Originally Posted by Totien
But it is you Totien, who is mentally retarded.
Who are you to judge somethign that has be practiced and used for over 10k years?
You're a fucking retard with a drug addiction. (see, I can make assumptions too, about the drug addiction, not the retardation) I don't see how having 3k+ posts is a problem, otherwise a lotta people on this board got issues.Originally Posted by Plow
Because posting on a forum is the same as taking drugs. Good game. Just as a little lesson, this is the only forum I frequently post on, the next highest post count I have on another forum is 200. Go figure that an internet loving loser like me can't break 3k posts on every forum I frequent.
Also if you actually READ my post mr.jumponmyasslikeadruggy you'd find I said people who need drugs/alcohol to ENJOY or ESCAPE from life are sad, because that's my opinion of it. I never said people who do it occasionally have issues (although some probably do). but if you do it excessively or because you can't enjoy life without it, then fuck you.
I'm of the same mindset. The fact we can drink alcohol in our homes, but cannot smoke marijuana is quite probably the most retarded thing ever.
How many billions of tax dollars in enforcement are wasted on this shit which is weak in comparison to alot of shit we are allowed to do without a problem..
I don't do drugs that have a near instant and long lasting effect on personality or physical health.. I did meth in the past but the depression is fucking retarded, on par with what I've seen from people who chug cough syrup. Never got into opiates because seeing worms crawling out of your spaghetti is creepy.
Weed, x, and acid for going to a bad movie or listening to trippy music is 'bout it, and I try not to do acid often, 'cuz I'd rather not have psycho hallucinations when I'm 60 :x
I know doing it is not healthy, but so is half the other shit we do for enjoyment. I just don't have an opinion on it being bad or not as long as the drug isn't coupled with physical and chemical dependencies on it.
You don't get it at all.Originally Posted by Elcura
If you've posted 4000 times on one forum, that is undeniable evidence that you spend an absurd amount of time online.
YOU are using the internet as an escape from reality-- so are 95% of the people here.
The difference between you and me is that I'm well aware, while you're hopelessly addicted and convinced you're not in the least.
The first step to fixing a problem is admitting you have that problem.
oh and:Because posting on a forum is the same as taking drugs.
Try that argument when the internet has been around thousands of years.That's one case, and while I'm sure there are more, the number doesn't even come close to drug related deaths
Computers, technology, and the internet will be responsible for thousands upon thousands of times more deaths than drugs ever will.
