Question by Dear Dogma: Are there any ethical imperatives for society when considering “Secondlife addictions” ?
Is society bound to address this new issue, or is it all just “fun on a computer” and not really that harmful to individuals or society?
@ Ask Real Jesus.com;

Try not to jump to conclusions…”You are just in denial” I’ve never even played the game. I simply saw a program addressing the issue.

Best answer:

Answer by ask real jesus .com
I played Secondlife and was bored to death. My friend plays it 24/7 and has relationships, friends, and sex instead of one in Real Life. I think its bs. Real life is real experience. SL cannot give you that. You are just in denial.

EDIT- Dear Dogma- I wasn’t talking about you. I was saying a person who spends more time in SL instead of in RL is in denial.    Read more...

Question by Dustin: Why does our society respect people who overcome drug and alcohol addictions?
We are basically told from Kindergarten that we should not use drugs or alcohol. They tell us why it is bad for us and what kinds of problems it will cause for us. When people become addicted, everything that they were told would happen, does happen. From a logical standpoint, anyone who becomes addicted to drugs or alcohol is a complete idiot. They were told their throughout their entire life not to do it or bad things would happen. They did it and bad things happened. It deeply bothers me how people who make such directly atrocious decisions are respected and admired basically because they decided to stop acting stupid being a shitty person. I refuse to look up to someone or automatically respect a person who “battled an addiction”. Its their fault they became addicted.    Read more...
