Hilarious.. watching this documentary on internet addiction in China. They consider it a clinical disorder and have hundreds of rehabilitation facilities. So the documentary is all of these young dudes, crying in some awful boot camp.

I think the Village is the one Shylalmanfjdlffsklfjlfj movie I haven't seen. I liked Sixth Sense, but it's been downhill from there.

Well technically anything can be a addiction( smoking, gaming, internet use, exercising, cleaning, coutis) its mainly just a habit taken to a extreme so i can understand why they consider it a disorder

I agree.
I just think it's hilarious because China itself is draconian and absurd.

@Magic
China could be so much worse. Yeah, it's bad, but one just has to look to the Iranian Theocracy to see how bad things can get.

Drugging kids up and moving them to a boot camp, for playing WoW too much? That's pretty absurd.
I could give you a long history lesson in general, i suppose. But I won't. My own family is Thai, so there is some connection to China there, I guess. A lot of Chinese-Thais who are happy not being in China. Personally, i think everything worthwhile about China is in their refugees living in Thailand, Hawaii, etc.. I mean, it's only until recently that they even let Taoists live in peace in China. China would rather follow some bearded German Jew named Karl Marx than anything beautiful about themselves.

I don't like WoW myself. There was a word floating around about people who played MMOs too much. "Catass". Because their houses smelled like catass and they never change the litter box.
That said, I just believe in leaving them alone. I hate communal minded societies....especially on this large, systematic level.
Also, why I hate Qunari

I think China has been struggling with an identity crisis the last one hundred years. Or I'm an idiot, and give them to much credit. It's hard for me to blame China when my homeland( the United States ) has and still does engage in horrific acts like mass incarnation, civil forfeiture, death penalty, drug war, war on terror( unending ).

No, you're right. I think they might be OK eventually.. people can't deal with this much meddling for too long.

The worst thing about this is that treating the "addiction" is hardly what they're tackling in this camp. They're guilting these kids for being introverts, not social enough, making them dress in camoflauge, waking them up early for all kinds of drills, nitpicking at their rooms and making them clean/make beds, etc..
Then their parents visit them and start crying, saying how playing video games made them feel like they lived in a "bottomless pit" and how they were afraid of their kid's future. lol

Never watched those. I didn't know they were that bad.
I understand encouraging a good diet... I don't think boot camp and shame is gonna help though.

Yeah, that's what happens when you privatize your legal system. If people can get rich imprisoning people eventually every crime carries a prison sentence.well yea we do, but that was the first thing that popped into my mind...

Never watched more than snippets while flipping channels myself. but from what I saw they were dumb, like every other reality tv show.

Yeah, I hope that trend stops..
I guess it's cheap to make them. But immensely profitable.. so it probably won't stop.

You know what would make a good show. The Wheel of Time series. either live action, a la A Song of Fire and Ice, or a cartoon/anime.
It might work better as an anime just because of the way the 'magic' (the One Power) works/looks, and Trollocs.
