China's Internet Addiction Clinic

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the time-for-an-intervention dept.

An anonymous reader writes "China has decided that if you are spending too much time online, you must be an addict. They've just opened a clinic to treat these internet addicts. Scarier is the head gear they have one patient hooked up to, and the fact that they think that this is some sort of epidemic and will shortly be expanding and adding 200 more beds to their clinics. In my opinion, the internet is way better and safer than alcohol and drugs any day. " We also covered this story last july.

    Can we get these for all the religious addicts in this country, too?

    I think it's because most of the writing on the net is for 12 year olds and under.
    There are, of course some exceptions [salon.com].
    Salon is written for 12-year old Democrats.
    My spelling is turning to shit as a result too.

    That's my $0.25 opppinion.
    No argument here.
