    - The difference is whether it's a compulsive behavior. Yes, people screw up, ignore consequences, etc. and they too have issues to deal with. But it - pmb Jan 20, 08:49
    - yes, it is. but see, where i guess i'm going is, saying "i'm a sex addict" doesn't equate to "now i am not responsible for what i did". - TFox Jan 20, 08:46 4

        my biggest fear of getting married was that I was going to be able to be with only her. - groiny Jan 20, 08:51

  - Oh yeah...a lot of them and I don't include them in the group who 'need' targeted help like this. - Will Hunting Jan 20, 08:44 3
