Agree that the article is crap but at least regarding the internet porn part, it has all the requirements to become destructively addictive. And all stats show that men watch most porn so it's not unjustified sexism.

- zerostar07 14y agoi doubt one of these takes up similar percentages of their time. Now, shopping is addictive, but good luck regulating that.
- cafard 14y agoBeer, cigarettes, and gambling have all the requirements to be destructively addictive. Yet while I've known alcoholics, a couple of smoking-related deaths, and one or two people who have hurt themselves financially by gambling, the generations they are sampled from have lived longer and one the whole more comfortably than the generations before them.
- zerostar07 14y agoThese are all regulated and continuously up for debate, because, in the end, all addictions become a social/economical problem. Plus beer, cigarettes or gambling certainly did not contribute to prolonging their lives. Porn is not regulated in the west. I m not saying it should, but let's keep a watchful eye.
