While I agree that the internet has addictive properties, pretty much anything that can be done to excess has 5-10% of its users doing just that. So freaking what? We can add pizza to that list, too, but no one is really making a big deal about pizza addiction.
Really, though, the DSM is about the stupidest thing ever. As famousringo said, even caffeine addiction is enough to be recognized by a number of psychiatrists. Human beings were simply born to do things to excess, some of them do healthy things and others don't, but everybody has something they are addicted to and have to partake of regularly. Tabloids, music, spending time with family, studying... everybody has something. And we'd all be miserable as all hell if we didn't.
God forbid I'd have to consider the OTHER things the DSM is compltely retarded on.
You do not have the right to never be offended.
