I would not deny the seriousness of chemical addictions, but any stimuli the brain depends on and becomes too accustomed to is an addiction. The chemicals are not just what we put in, but what are bodies produce in response.

There's no need to be so rude with your reply. Perhaps you are part of the problem of a society that would even dare to joke about this.

Video game addiction is the same as drug addiction or alcoholism. Do the Japanese list those as disabilities? Gaming addicts need help to find a balance, at the very least.

Journalists always slip out of the responsibility bit. Look at the issues in the UK right now. Trying to put in some oversight is really stirring up a lot. Tabloid should only refer to the printing format of the newspaper or magazine, but instead it means "scandal rag mag reporting on the private things of…

That's a fabulous point. He answer is too easily available from me, sadly. News media has changed and has to keep readers and viewers,get clicks to back up the ad rates. So being a bit sensational keeps people consuming the content, and that means proof that there are eyes that might see ads, and that keeps the system…

Since I am trained to be both journalist and media relations person, aka both sides of the camera/note pad, I can well advise anyone and everyone that you never say anything unless it is 100 per cent ready to be released. "We're processing new data at this time and will release the results for this event/date to be…

Well, robots controlled from orbit can pave the way for landings once a suitable reactor has been set up to survive the darker times of the lunar rotation. Optimism reigns, and it decrees that any expedition is progress, robots or otherwise :)

Admitting it is the first step to overcoming the lack of seeing it, and unlike the Tumor, the cure shall be enjoyable!

I agree that Valeria is a great suggestion, of course, I was pleased that Sorcha was included. Both were inspiration for my sword wielding ways later in life. :)

Never seen? NEVER SEEN? well, yes, required viewing, please watch it soon. It's a great film that emphasises we should all be careful what we wish for. ;)

Well anyone can set it up, that much is true. Survival rates may vary.

Ah Ben Franklin and the kite, a common question from the school groups I visit. As always, I tell them that no, he did not launch a kite that was hit by lightning. I explain the experiment, caution that if it is true he collected some static charge on a key, and make sure they never want to try it. By then I've…

Well collecting static from a story day is pretty easy, but supremely risky when you think about ground gradient and step potential. I can see Franklin coming up with the means and letting others take the risk. That's how I prefer to deal with electricity. ;)

Soooo, an Australian actor best known for playing a Scandinavian god is now a marine and the last hope of America? Okay sure I will believe that. Uh huh. I know this was filmed some time ago, China became North Korea, and there was a lot of work to get it here. but come on. If we want Fantasy and things we can barely…

Anyone with finger and thumb can go ahead and shoot a gun. But a weapon held tight within your hand is the one that can save any land.

That it does! I suppose if I actually had to have a gun (I live in Canada I don't think I need any real ones) I'd have something in 9mm and something .40S&W, and a little .38 revolver as a last resort. But that's for another life. I'll stick with various martial arts for my combatitive hobby. :)

And not even .45 as it is modelled after a 9mm pistol. It's all flash and flare. There are sleeker, cooler air pistols out there.

Blah, I breathe air, don't need to eat air. ;) no more snack cakes ever. Well hardly ever. Free things must be sampled but there are better things in life.

Okay, intense items should be handled in smaller doses. Rich, sweet, creamy cookies and tats can have smaller is better. As for the next bit of your story, I'll just hope you have moved somewhere with less chance of a snowstorm so freedom from such awkwardness can be yours.

Cheers to you, kindred spirit. Bakeries have always been the top of the line for deliciousness. Of course, if you're ever in England, pick up what Cadbury is making, and rejoice for it is so much better than what we get here. Bliss.
