This word is used by bureaucratic escapists who don't want to face the realities of Life and the Human Experience!.
People don't become {addicted} to any thing(s)!. They do what they do because they enjoy it!.!.!. because they want to!.

IDK that is a good question because the first time me and my friend got onto yahoo answers, we were like what losers do this, but now this site consumes most of my free time, its even better then myspace to me at this point! But I think it's mental, because its like a game and everyone wants to win, but you have to work for it! And, I think it's because it's anonymous you feel free to express yourself!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
