Commented on Before/after tattooed face
I'm pretty heavily tattooed, but even my tattoo artist said he wouldn't tattoo my face because he thinks it's too anti-social (not that I asked him too, it just came up in a conversation). Not that he's the tattoo police...

Ugly Canuck commented on Addicted to exercise?
Perhaps anything which is pleasant, and serves to make one happy, can be addictive? Still, the term implies slavery, it implies imbalance. And it continues to be applied in novel contexts, in novel places. Fresh from today's headlines: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/8219768.stm...
FriendNdeed commented on Addicted to exercise?
When we hear someone claim they're addicted to something, why shouldn't we suspect they're imagining the whole thing? The old AA codgers claim that alcoholics suffer an "allergy", not an addiction. They're not using a metaphor. Some people are indeed allergic to the hops, malts, and other allergens found in alcohol. And allergens trigger floods of endorphins. So the barfly who seems glued to the bar may not be addicted to alcohol. He's probably allergic to the stuff, but it gives him a really good endorphin buzz. The guy on the next barstool can't see why the sot doesn't just...

The old AA codgers claim that alcoholics suffer an "allergy" It's a joke. I'm allergic to alcohol; if I drink it, I break out in handcuffs....
Ugly Canuck commented on Addicted to exercise?
A thought occurs: a "ham-fisted" Cartesianism may clarify this term "addiction". That there are addictions of the mind: and then there OTOH are addictions of the body: sometimes intertwined, but not necessarily so. That the State has a legitimate interest in the prevention and limitation of the one: but not in the other. Marijuana, which does not cause any physical, bio-chemical dependence in the human frame, is at worst but an addiction of the mind; akin to, perhaps, religion, or to the reading of novels, or to the following of any particular mode of life; and that the State ought,...
FriendNdeed commented on Addicted to exercise?
A lot of people scoff about the "allergic to alcohol" thing. It's just wishful thinking, right? Drunks aren't really allergic and their craving is all in their heads, right? Who ever heard of people craving what they're allergic to, anyway? Just for laughs, try Googling the words "allergy" and "craving" and see how many hits pop up. a) 3? b) 300? c) 30K? g) 3,000,000+? Not very scientific, but I'm just sayin'....
