Arange this list from the most "evil" to the least

Addiction is a disease.  I was saying that you can't cure the disease. 

Disease can be cured, but the virus will always be present if that was the cause of the disease.

and an addiction relies more on a mental aspect and personal desire so it's really not so much as a disease like many claim it is to parade as their excuse

[Samus Aran]

so um why are we talking about viruses and bacteria in relation to addiction when addictive substances actually act as false neurotransmitters and have absolutely nothing to do with viruses or bacteria

Lawlz said that diseases can be cured.  Viruses can't.

so in summation jmv has proven alcoholism is a congenital virus that is uncontrollable like homosexuality thus proving the universe is composed of slices of pie but a pie without delicious cherry filling since gooey goodness contradicts abstract concepts

ask lawlz. he knows how to cure every disease

with a slice of the second dimension which i can't imagine because i'm a third dimensional being but it doesn't exist though saying the second dimension doesn't exist makes you a fool

Lawlz said that diseases can be cured.  Viruses can't.

food poisoning is a disease

herpes is a virus

guess what pops up on your lip every decemeber, and it's not a pizza

[Daddy]

ITT Lawlz is an idiot and tries to put it on other people.


I gave a source from a governmental website saying that addiction is a disease which cannot be cured.  Because Lawlz cannot counter this, he's bringing up an unrelated subject of theoretical physics that he believes to be wrong since he can't comprehend the subject.  


Lawlz, how do you cure mental disease?  

How about depression, mental retardation, MS, cystic fibrosis, and other similar diseases?    Unless you can't cure them, then please tell me the virus that causes them.

[Samus Aran]

Lawlz said that diseases can be cured.  Viruses can't.

Our body eradicates viruses on its own if it is able to recognize the virus beforehand and have a proper "attack strategy," if you will. So no, we cannot cure viruses by any conventional means, but we can try to aid our bodies in doing so. That's why we have vaccines.

Also, antiviral drugs only suppress symptoms, not the viruses themselves.

And herpes can't be cured.

itt everyone uses itt and jmv thinks he'll act smart too

I gave a source from a governmental website saying that addiction is a disease which cannot be cured.

I do recall you whining about the government more than a few times. now u ruv it

Lawlz, how do you cure mental disease? 

How about depression, mental retardation, MS, cystic fibrosis, and other similar diseases?    Unless you can't cure them, then please tell me the virus that causes them.

bacteria inflicted disease are curable as well as some diseases inflicted by virus, though the virus still remains

If depression's a disease, ADD is a terminal illness.

down's syndrome, etc, uncurable

genetic mutations aren't necessarily caused by bacteria, if at all.

a person can prevent and control alcoholism

[ncba93ivyase]

And herpes can't be cured.  

SIR, I KNOW THIS

Food poisoning is caused by bacteria and molds and whatever, and curable. Once you get herpes, you're stuck with it. And that's exactly what I said.

[Daddy]

itt everyone uses itt and jmv thinks he'll act smart too

cool

I do recall you whining about the government more than a few times. now u ruv it

the actions of the government != medical facts posted on a governmental website.

bacteria inflicted disease are curable as well as some diseases inflicted by virus, though the virus still remains

no shit

If depression's a disease, ADD is a terminal illness.

it's a mental disorder.  

down's syndrome, etc, uncurable

i said mental retardation

genetic mutations aren't necessarily caused by bacteria, if at all.

still a disease.

also Multiple sclerosis isn't genetic, but it's not a virus.  

a person can prevent and control alcoholism

Now you are changing what you said.  

Before you said it could be cured, now you're saying it can be controlled, which is what I said a few pages ago.

[Samus Aran]

SIR, I KNOW THIS

Food poisoning is caused by bacteria and molds and whatever, and curable. Once you get herpes, you're stuck with it. And that's exactly what I said.

I'm seeing lots of contradictory nonsense in this thread. It's really hard to tell just what you're trying to say.

Okay. JMV says addiction is a disease. A disease is typically said to be a biological impairment in an organism that impairs its functions. By that definition, addiction is indeed a disease, but only because of the chemical dependancy.

He says it can't be cured, only suppressed. I don't think the data exists that gives us a good reason to say this is true or not. You can't physically observe the presence or lack of a chemical dependancy inside someone's body.

Most signs point toward JMV's conclusion. Relapses are immensely common, as are lasting little tidbits of said addictions that may go unnoticed for the most part. But we can't be sure, because we can't observe a "cured" patient. We don't know what a "cured" patient even looks like.

Quit bringing other diseases into this. They're irrelevant.
