And ultimately, you can't be too harsh on them. "Man is the rationalizing animal..."

Hear, hear ... !

I call bullsh*t on the whole "addiction" to sex thing. And why is it mostly rich male celebrities that have the addiction?

Cuz they got caught and have the money to hire somebody to spin their assholery into a "victim" thing.

Bah!

Gotta stay away from THIS thread.

Yup, lol - if there's one thing my friends know about how to get me crazy, slobbering stupid, it's bringing up this subject.

Let's just say I'm addicted to arguing about the reality of some addictions.

I believe in the reality of physical addictions; others - especially when someone uses their "addiction" to explain away bad behavior - not so much. IMO it's just a good excuse, not a viable reason.
