I have a disease. I don't like to go to work. When I wake up in the morning I dread going into the shop and dealing with all the crap that goes on there, but I'm too lazy to find another job and it's society's fault. Do I have a disease?

How about getting up to change the channel on the television instead of using the remote? I'm not sure if there are even buttons on the tv to do that. What a difference 20 years makes!
Yes.Quote:

Better be careful and take some pills.
Any pills will do.

I know a lot of fat people in the computer industry. I believe it is because the only exercise most of us get is running off at the mouth and jumping to conclusions. I gained 20 pounds after I quit smoking six years ago, and I am still not overweight.
People who think alcoholism is not a disease have obviously never read this:
http://silkworth.net/silkworth/doctorsopinion.html
and have never watched someone they love suffer from alcoholism.
I am not worried about my anonymity here, since I am naught but an avatar and a bunch of electrons while I am here ;) But I suffer from the disease of alcoholism, and I know beyond any sophistries that indeed it is a disease, and a fatal one at that.
It is most easily diagnosable in my case, since once I take a drink, I am absolutely unable to stop, until stopped by some external factor, such as steel bracelets, straitjackets, etc. My story is not the least bit uncommon. There is a physical craving which is set off by the introduction of alcohol into the body of an alcoholic. This is a well established medical fact, and has nothing to do with opinion.
Read the Bible, particularly the story of Noah. Stuff happens to alcoholics that does not happen to "normal" people. I have been clean and sober for nearly 13 years now. But I have no illusions left about it. I simply cannot control my drinking, just like so many other alcoholics down through the ages. All I can do is not start, since once I start, I cannot/will not stop. Complete abstinence from alcohol is one of my main priorities in life today.
So if even Ya_Know is calling for compassion in this thread, as politically correct as he is <grin>, maybe some of the rest of us can be more informed.
Do I think obesity is a disease? In some cases, it would certainly appear to be. But diet and lifestyle obviously have an effect as well. As does age. I am 54, and I have put on a little around the middle, particularly since I no longer smoke, and my blood cells have an increased ability to carry food to the other cells. Sure are a great deal of factors involved in weight!
I found these little white ones. Only 1 1/2 calories!Quote:

Hi there,
We're bascially overeating. Not only that, it's all the crap what we eat. Chemicals, oils, MSG. Look at the ingedients now, they are words that can't be pronounce or even understandable for the average person.
I don't think there is really any diseases here. It's all man-made and our stupidity. Not to mention the culture that "looks" is important, having the perfect body, etc. Tell you what, it's 100% BS.
Now, just eat right, exercise a bit (even talking 10 minutes walk is good) and enjoy life.
Ju Leon...

Basically it took the word back to it's root as meaning not at ease or ill at ease. Diseases were classified as being natural or man made (no distinguishing characteristics were made) and then broken down further through vectors and symptoms (epidemiology at it's most basic). From there it was classified as endemic, epidemic and pandemic.
Endemic = what would be normally statistically expected within the population.
Epidemic = At least one case more that what would be statistically normal.
Pandemic = Close the borders and lock the doors.
Just a little insight to 26 years ago. :thumbs2:
