  > And self-control is not psychological? The disorder that you dropped from "psychological" is actually semantically important, you know. > Self control is precisely the difference between really linking something and consuming a reasonable/healthy amount of it vs being addicted to it and overconsuming. If you were unable to get the hint from the other examples I gave, I'll be plain: you are terribly mistaken, addiction is a disorder of the brain. What moral failing do you assume people with mood or anxiety disorders have?

    > The disorder that you dropped from "psychological" is actually semantically important, you know. Lack of self control can be described as a 'psychological disorder'. Also you completely avoided the actual question :) - maybe try answering it instead of playing semantics? > I'll be plain: you are terribly mistaken, addiction is a disorder of the brain. So you replaced 'phsycological disorder' with 'disorder of the brain'? That's supposed to make your point less pointless? > What moral failing do you assume people with mood or anxiety disorders have? Again, nowhere did I mention the word 'moral'. Try to address what I actually said instead of imagining strawmen in every comment. > If you were unable to get the hint from the other examples I gave No, I didn't get any 'hint' from your pointless examples. You see, I try to read what you said directly and respond directly, without any imagined 'hints', strawmen, or meaningless semantic games around vague and ambiguous terms.
