Whether its your weight, problems in your job, your marriage, alcohol,
run-ins with the law, money problems, whatever, if you're suffering from
the problem, its you're fault 99.9% of the time.

I call it an addictive personality. I've never been drunk, but if I have
one drink I wake up the next morning and think "Wouldn't a drink be nice
about now?" I've done it with caffiene, food, TV, books, all manner of
things that are bad for you in excess.

I hate dealing with words like "addicted". Its a simple word, it means "a
person can't/doesn't/won't stop doing something". But then there's the
victems and the underprivledged and the angry people who are mad because
they're addicts and don't want to deal with it, and then there are the
recovering addicts who get ****ed off because people use the word addict but
really mean victem, and then there are all those people who make the excuse,
"I'm addicted".

When I pick up a good book at night to read before I go to bed, I can't set
it down. I'm not a victem. Nobodys fault but mine. I'm not a book-a-holoc. I
don't need welfare, free counseling or amnisty. What I need to do, and I do
quite well, is to not pick up a book late at night.

Now, cigarettes, there's another one. Fact is: my fault. When I was TWELVE I
knew smoking was stupid but I started anyway. At every age since then, I've
known that its stupid and I need to quit. Yes, I'm addicted. But I'll be
damned if I'm going to argue that out with anyone, so f-it, I'm not
addicted. Whatever. Just send me my gov't cheese in the mail, pay
$500/tablet for my welbutrin through medi-cal, I'll buy cigarettes with my
welfare cheks whilst pumping out more babies just for the money, and let the
liberals eat all the totsie rolls while they put a "fat tax" on fatty meat.

E-gads, democrats. Lol. Don't vote for 'em, aye? Please?

No, It doesn't mean that. YOU MEAN THAT.

The word doesn't mean that.

Can you tell the difference between a real meaning of a word and the
meaning you wish to attach to it?

PLONK!
