I can quit any time I want to, I just don’t want to.
LOL - I am neither, and I was left out of the article. Oh, the shame.... LOL
Idiotic.
My dh says I’m addicted because I don’t watch TV with him for 5 hours every night. LOL But I do sit next to him on the couch while I type.
“...grouped with extreme addictive disorders such as gambling, sex addiction and kleptomania,..”
I have to agree. They should all be grouped together, under the heading of modern psychobabble idiocy disorders. The treatment is to stop doing it.
Cancer, diabetes, AIDS, etc, are diagnosable disorders. Gambling and internet overuse are behaviors, not illnesses.
I often wonder if God is laughing at us, or crying over us, when this idiocy becomes the accepted norm.
huh? Where's addition it that diagnosis? So I wash my hand constantly....What's the big deal....my hands are clean.
Do they have a web page?
I was diagnosed with CDO, which is sort of like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but the letters are arranged in the correct order. Neat and orderly, alphabetic, proper.
And I post here all the time.
TV.....YUCK...!
I’m hooked on the internet, and FR is ‘the good stuff’.
Radio addiction should be grouped with extreme addictive disorders such as gambling, sex addiction and kleptomania, a prominent psychiatrist said.
Dr. Elmer Feelgood, Professor of Phrenology at Possum Holler University's East Jesus Springs Campus said 10 percent of listeners to the newfangled "wireless telegraph" are afflicted with "radio addiction disorder," which can lead to anxiety and severe depression.
Radio addiction is classified by mental health professionals as a Humorous Bile Disorder, a mild to severe mental health condition that results in an urge to engage in ritualistic thoughts and behavior, physical self-abuse, and white girls openly dancing with Negroes.
"Radio addiction is not manifesting itself as an urge. Its more than that. Its a deep craving. And if we dont make the change in the way we classify radio addiction, we wont be able to treat it in the proper way," Feelgood said Friday in a release to reporters in snap-brim Fedora hats.
He said the two groups at greatest risk from radio addiction disorder are raccoon-coat-wearing, rumble-seat-riding teenagers and excitable immigrants from the dago countries.
"We must stamp out radio addiction." Feelgood asserted. "I intend to petition President Coolidge and my members of Congress for leadership in legislating the number of hours one may listen to radio daily."
There’s a difference?
This is awful because it true!
hmmm....
SO
a person who focuses on political sites can have the participation declared a disability and petition for Social Security Disability and post even more at taxpayer expense!
Get paid to use FR.
DUmies are beating down the social security doors.
It’s all about control over the Internet and other people’s lives. Internet addiction is just as phony as porn addiction.
Are they suggesting we all go back to reading newspapers?
