Fatal Attraction!!!

So we learn that on line game playing in China has become a fatal attraction to some addicts. While I dislike any form of "censorship" as I am a firm believer of an individual accepting responsibility for control of his or her own actions, it is a sad fact that there are many in this world who are incapable of so doing.
For the benefit of them and the society in which they live it is an unfortunate necessity that their addiction must be controlled until they are able to do so voluntarily.
As it would be impossible to prevent the addict accessing the internet then the only response is to block, either permanently or for specified daily time periods, such web sites at ISP level.
Would that we could do the same with gambling web sites!!
