Question by Seeker Of Painful Truths 2: Do people use the term “addiction” as a way to control people to do as they desire?
I ask because it would seem to me that based on what experts say, “addiction” is bad for you. Yet when ever the word “addiction” pops up, people usually use it like this below:

– PORN addition is bad
– DRUG addiction is bad
– ALCOHOL addiction is bad

None of that make any sense to me because I thought it is “ADDICTION” itself that’s bad. If thats true then why the need to specifically point out what kind of addiction it is? It should matter what the addiction is because the problem is “addiction” itself.

I think that people have clouded the term addiction so much that it’s meaningless. I think when people have a real problem like alcohol addiction or what ever, the core problem isn’t that they are heavily into alcohol, but that they are seriously UNBALANCED.

‘Unbalanced’ (I just made it up but makes sense to me) means you are so heavily into a certain thing in life that the good things in your life are fallen apart. But to say “addiction” is like saying a bad word when in actuality we are all truly addicted to many things in life on a daily basis that doesn’t hinder our lives, but instead, betters it. I’m addicted to reading for instance, hardly a bad thing.
@darkeyes – So then, “love” is an addiction. It can make you miss an important meeting, forget to eat, and fore go fun things you normally would like to do. Depending on the perspective of the viewer, this “love” is non-productive because it’s taking time away from other aspects of your life, and unhealthy because the butterflies in you’re nervous stomach as you miss the one you want is hindering you from eating.

But just because things like “love” fall into the terms of “addiction” doesnt make “love” a bad thing. Again, this is why I think the term “addiction” has been polluted.
@hayley – That is a VERY smart answer! Agreed ot the MAX.

Answer by Milla ^.^‿
Almost every addiction is bad, just some have more negative affects than others.
Drug addiction is the worst obviously. Then some drugs are also worse to be addicted to than others as well.

Addiction is seen as deviance, which is; behavior that is recognized as violating expected rules and norms.

Answer by Iggy
Habituated is another good word, it has that snob value that comes with big, important sounding words that haven’t yet been overused in reality TV, or printed under the face of a “celebrity” on the cover of a magazine sold only in supermarkets.
I aim to get some mileage from it before it becomes as passe as “twerking”.

Question by FAITH: How come people on government assistance are not subject to a drug test before and while receiving benefits?
Our tax dollars are paying for a lot of people’s drug addictions. I know here in California, most people on welfare are also on some type of drug abuse. They will take the General Relief money and Food Stamps and feed their drug habit instead of the kids. I believe they should all be subject to drug testing to receive benefits from our tax money and continue with unannounced drug testing to continue to receive payments. We the tax payers have a right to where the money is going.

Answer by TheOrange Evil
I think it’d be a lot cheaper and easier to 1) get rid of welfare, especially long-term welfare, and 2) make drugs legal.

Answer by Easy, later tonight my rm.
I think WI just got tougher. WI has a good gov. currently, and he’s hated by the socialists. The socialist left think Government is infringing on the rights of the poor if they have to produce an ID or get a drug test. Idiots!

I agree with the first guy as well. Legalize them all for the sake of freedom.
