Protest virus or tear gas addiction?

Riots in Greece are still going on and violent student protests are fast spreading to France. Why? Could it be that tear gas is addictive? Painful at the start but pleasurable in the fast run required in protests? Is it time to pause social analysis on the issue and conduct chemicals research or should we wait until we see police using tear gas without their masks on? Or are the protests a live chemicals research experiment by the government? What?? Shouldn't I say that in public? :)

Green tea Or chocolate addiction?

I love to drink green tea, every day I have two cups of powder-stirred green tea (matcha). When I told my friend who is a coffee-addict himself that I am addicted to green tea, he pointed out to me that I am not addicted to tea but to chocolate. I disagreed but I now realize that I must always have a small bite of chocolate with my tea otherwise matcha is too bitter. In Japan tea is always served with something sweet on the side. Could it be that I am not addicted to tea and addicted to chocolate instead? Is green tea a decoy to cover my chocolate addiction? I'm probably addicted to both I think. Do you have similar experience?

Video game addiction

Do you think we can fight video games addiction by making annoyingly monotonous versions of a video game, then have the game switch from the regular version to the monotonous one when a close friend, girlfriend, boyfriend or family member thinks we're getting too addicted to it? The benefit with extreme, annoying monotony is that the addict gets upset with the game and not with the people around him telling him he's addicted. He loses interest in the game 'naturally'. Any other ideas out there?
