		<description>I think it&#039;s just an issue of obsessive personality. Some people will get addicted to anything they start, whether it be video games, school, or onions. You can&#039;t do anything about that.</description>

		<description>I definitely agree with you Nyphx. I spent a couple of years at Job Corps which was 80 percent populated with the dance club kids, and those tended to cause the most drama and problems on campus. As someone with social anxiety issues, I&#039;d have to say gaming helped me become more comfortable and adjusted to being around people.</description>

		<description>Yeah, the ultimate point I&#039;m getting at here is that anything can be bad taken to an extreme, and almost anything can be positive when done in moderation. There are things that tend to be mostly negative influences and things that tend to be most often neutral or positive though, and I think clubbing lies in the former and gaming in the latter category.</description>

		<description>Video games or clubbing?
Both have their downsides, that&#039;s for sure.

Personally, I think it&#039;s all about a predisposition to obsession.  Some people can occasionally game and have a perfectly AOK life, while others become completely sucked in moments after their first bit of Donkey Kong (I&#039;m dating myself, huh?).

I can&#039;t say WHY people have the predisposition toward obsession, but I&#039;m sure they do!</description>

		<description>i think dance clubs can be a destructive force in one&#039;s life. it&#039;s full of fake people and fake friends.  people just like you for your looks and discard you for younger talent.  i know &#039;cause i&#039;m there all the time. plus it costs lots of money.</description>
