PHOENIXZERO: Wonder if Jack ever got the memo that attacking a judge, especially the one who presided over your own hearing will only make him look worse.

PHOENIXZERO: @Krono Yeah, that's probably where it came from. Don't remember if a source was mentioned. Other than it being called a "story" or "study".

Krono: @PHOENIXZERO: Would that be the AP story about how schools should teach 11+ year old how to avoid abusive datings relationships?

PHOENIXZERO: Oh joy, new subject and they bring out Cooper Lawrence who takes a mention about videogames. It's a segment called "Sex Normal for 11-Year-Olds" having to do more so with mental and physical abuse in "relationships" of 11-14 year olds and not sex. >_<

PHOENIXZERO: Certainly a stupid segment with their "adolescent psychologist" and a game is different than a movie. Two callers, underwhelming. >_>

This is true unfortunately. I probably did come off over the top upon re-reading my post. I get his point that a chemical element doesn't have to be present for an addiction to be present, however that fact alone isn't enough to declare something to be an addiction.
Video game obsession is probably a better monicker than video game addiction. They are a time sink like anything else. In the realm of MMORPG's however, which is pretty much what I think of whenever someone mentions this topic, there is a viable case to be made due to the social pressure related to the genre of game and the dependance of others upon you.
I apologize for coming off the wall over this topic, gambling addiction's just a touchy spot for me because it's the reason why people demonize the industry I work in.
