I am born and live in Denmark. Well, the world is not perfect here, but watching the american election and the problems you are facing in the states, I'm really happy to live in this little paradise.
Our community can (i think) easily be compared to the one of Canada... a society, where we aim to make sure that nobody is left behind, while everybody have the possibility to move along. It's an aim, and not (yet?) reality. We are working on it, we are working on it:)
We all have addictions. We are addicted to food, air, water and a lot of other things. Some people are addicted to work, drugs, games, sugar, alcohol, relationships, appreciation, admiration, succes and a lot of other things.
The interesting part here is: does my addiction leads to other problems in my experience of life? Does my addiction leads to suffering for me and my surrundings?
If not, then no problem. If so, then you have to decide: will i continue with my addiction and take the consequences - or will I not? Quite simple, but not easy, as we not always know how to get rid of an addiction, we have attached to. Thats the point where we need help.
Summa summarum: If you have an addiction, enjoy it until it makes a problem in your life, or the effect of the addiction makes a problem. Then quit the addiction if you can. If you cannot, seek help or suffer.
To all relatives to the person in question: decide for yourself, do you want to put the time and energy in helping the person or not - thereafter do what you must. Your interesting question is: are YOU addicted to him or her?

I do not hope they will put caps on e.g. youtube?
Damn, it is good to have 10/2 mbit with no other limit for only $53.1 :D
