<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>interesting that asking for verification
of</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"no shred of evidence exists for the brains being
altered in game users"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>gets so much hostilty...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I guess you have no study to cite, and that being
said then I guess </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>THERE IS NO SHRED OF EVIDENCE THAT GAME USERS
BRAINS ARE NOT BEING MODIFIED BY THEIR GAME ADDICTION.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and so I guess your original statement isn't so
useful...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I continue with the noting that your defintion of
addiction is most flawed....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>that addiction can include only psychological
dimensions,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>and therefore it would seem appropriate to note
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>"the addiction of game
users..."</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>which is I believe where we started...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sadly I was hoping for something a bit more
concrete to debate about....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>otherwise why the post?</FONT></DIV>
