So there is "ZERO physical evidence" that this is a mental problem, hmmm? Do you have an ulterior motive or are you being deliberately ironic?
Perhaps I should clarify - obviously people have addictions that are observable hence physical evidence, but saying an activity is a disease is not only lacking in scientific authenticity due to the COMPLETE and TOTAL lack of any organic or other physical evidence but is also an affront to logic. Take a PHYSICAL addiction to a hard drug - there are actual chemical reactions occurring organically that create a need for the drug, these are measurable using existing scientific procedures and knowledge. NO SUCH procedure exists for mental disease. There is no bioposy or scientific tests to determine the much touted psychiatric hypothesis of "chemical imbalances" and the only "test" used is PURELY and 100% SUBJECTIVE.--Crokodile (talk) 20:55, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
