Ok, about 10 years ago this would be fucking awesome, but in this economy, I'm not sure anyone can afford to lose $800 just to get rid of an "addiction"...

I'd be elated if I one day woke up not needing to smoke a cigarette and then find an $800 dollar bill in my pocket!

Hmmmm Not sure this video made any sense, because 1: You took a video of you trashing your 2002 PC, to upload to YouTube 2: You obviously haven't cured your addiction, because you have bought a new PC to upload the video to YouTube, and have commented on comments. 3: You are profiting from your addiction by generating traffic to your video. The BroBryce2009 Channel, is running a contest to win a Paint Ball Gun and your video is part of that contest! Remember once and addict, always an addict

[Cubsftw]

@V0xyLady Not true on that last sentence. I have friends who had serious cocaine addictions 20 years ago and have been clean for 15+ from every type of illegal drug.

cool video

[SaintIlluminated]

yeah...you probably should have just sold it, dummy.

[Gods0n1]

@SaintIlluminated no way.. if i sold it, then that would just bring me profit from my addiction.destroying my comptuer was like a wake up call... and a nessisary step in showing myself how important it is to get rid of things that keep you from your dreams.

[MsHojat]

@Gods0n1 Then you should have taken it apart and given away the pieces to different people for free. That, or even just give the whole thing to someone else for free.

[Gods0n1]

@MsHojat one mans trash is not another mans treasure.. after taking a different path for 2011, i can see alot of the problems with this country is because we are anti social and look for electronics for more fun then actually going outside and enjoying LIFE.

[MsHojat]

@Gods0n1 One man's trash is not ALWAYS another man's treasure, no. However, the whole point of the phrase is that unwanted things by some people oftentimes ARE desirable to others.

Secondly, you're making very large generalizations and assumptions — many people BALANCE their social and/or physical activity with sedentary activities. Reading books, watching/listening to radio/TV/movies, painting/sculpting, are all sedentary and/or solo activities, does it mean they're all bad?

[MsHojat]

@Gods0n1 Not only did you make huge generalizations and assumptions (or jump-to-conclusions), but you don't even actually answer why you didn't give it away — saying people are physically inactive is one thing, but saying that the way to stop it is by not giving them certain stuff is an entirely different idea. It's ridiculous to say that EVERYONE is anti-social and doesn't go outside and enjoy life.

Your statement is just baffling.

[Gods0n1]

@MsHojat well lets take something in your life that is an addiction... lets say drinking, or smoking is an addiction you have... now, while it is an addiction to you, it isnt for other people.. thats fine.. but because you want to stop drinking and because you understand it isnt good for you health, you take the beer and throw it away, because by doing this you are Proving to YOURSELF that you want to change...( continued)

[Gods0n1]

@MsHojat and i dont think giving your addiction to someone else for profit is actually proving to yourself that you want to change because it has to be an impacting change otherwise a week will go by and you will find yourself back in your addiction again... now you may say that many ppl can control what they drink or watch and use moderation, however i would argue the majority of ppl cant!

[MsHojat]

@Gods0n1 1. What does profit have to do with this? I said give away, not sell.

2. It's not giving the addiction to someone else if that someone else does not have a sensitivity to being addicted to computers. For instance, most computer addiction is INTERNET addiction, and said person could not have any internet access.

Cigarettes are not a comparable example because they are always unhealthy no matter what. However if I was addicted to alcohol, I would certainly give it to someone.

[Gods0n1]

@MsHojat you may be right... i did this for my own personal reasons... and addiction can come in many forms.. mine was to the degree where i couldnt just give it to someone that may not have the problem, but i had to prove to myself i wanted to rid myself of it... you may dissagree which is fine. But i dont think God wants people to be addicted to things in our life.... which may take drastic measure to attain freedom.. God bless.
