It's funny you should bring this up trix as I was only reading an article the other day about internet addiction in a daily paper here in the UK called The Daily Mail. I've dug the online link out to the story.

I don't normally read it myself apart from Melanie Philip's column on a Monday. I liked the way she slagged Professor Richard Dawkwins off a few months back so enjoy reading her stuff now!!. The Mail makes me laugh as well with all their scare mongering tactics. Hilarious sometimes I think. The recent binge drinking campaign was a prime example. Their all as bad as one another I think. If being an internet addict means spending more time on here than watching or reading crap in the news then I'm happy to call myself an addict.............HOLD ON A MINUTE..............Shit! I already am one anyway!!!!lol

I'm successfully moderating my use of the internet (36). If you want to have some fun, re-take the test and instead of the word internet replace it with alcohol and I scored a whopping 80! They were just being nice to me by saying...
You are experiencing occasional or frequent problems because of the "alcohol". You should consider their full impact on your life.Comment

I find I can be just as bad as some of these journalists in a paradoxical way. I'm very cynical of any media hype etc and am always thinking their's a conspiracy or the Media is ruling our lives and brain washing us etc etc. Talk about being paranoid!!!lol Mind due my philosophy is if your not Paranoid you're not paying enough attention!!!lolHovercat;297476 wrote: Argh, you're a DOUBLE ADDICT!Q!!!Q11!!

Right better go off-line for a while before MI6 get a trace on me!!
If I don't post anything in the morning you'll know the Daily Mail has something to do with my disappearance H.P. Hovercraft.!! They'll probably have a big campaign to HELP FIND HIPPIE to throw you all of the scent. Knowing damn well I'm tied up in some disused warehouse getting brainwashed by showing me pictures of Muslim extremists visiting dole offices throughout the country and Prince Harry shoving bottles of alcopops up his nostrils.
