i was listening to the news a few minutes ago and i heard this:

thats a link to a topic on video games.
they are trying to pass video games off as an addiction like drugs and alcohal.

what do you think??

I think they hit the point in the second paragraph "which for certain kids can be as powerfully addictive as heroin"

For some people it's addictive, for others it's a way to chill out for a little with friends and have fun.
I say it depends from person to person.

This should be in OTL.

Gaming can adctually become an addiction, you'd be quite surprised how many malnourished gamer nerds are out there
