World of Warcraft is a Killer

World of Warcraft is the largest online role playing game available. It has over 10 million players across te globe with about 40% officially addicted (I'm going to throw out stats and information that I have previously researched if you give a shit about it, then research it yourself, ass). Along with internet addiction, the FCC says WoW is the number one reason for college drop out. I might add, and one of the highest reason low performance with highschool students.
WoW is a plague, it is the new drug of choice for young people. It is a growing problem because it inhabits addictive triggers in the human brain, much like any addictive drug or any addicive behavior.
Analysis: So what, why is this bad, much like my social darwinism plea, the ones who are stupid enough to get addicted to a game and stop the progress and success in their life, should be left to do it, rght? Social darwinism says the ones who are in the gutter deserve it and the ones who are successful or what have you, deserve it, because they made the necessary consious decisons to do so. Who is better, someone who live on the streets addicte to herion, or the guy who makes a buisness, or becomes a teacher, or writes a book, etc. The universe and nature have a way of balance and hormony. The people who get it, get it, the people who don't simply don't.
