Don't bother me read all these articles
just show me the evidence that it is Chines government,
not their parents who force those young Addicts to boot camp.
American style of bias, really terrible.
BTW, How does USA deal with your Internet Addicts?
let them be?

I didn't say anything about Beijing sending rich kids to boot camp. It's an idiot society as a whole that will subjugate its children to be treated like dogs, where funding by the government condones the torture of children as a cure, when the real cure is making the society more attractive than a computer game.



It' time to do your own footwork towards enlightenment or you can choose the path of ignorance. Don't expect any government to freely grant liberties to those who remain complacent and submissive.

I had a very similar treatment to the one in the photo by an accupuncturist in Toronto a few years back. It was for a sleeping disorder. It helped, actually. percutaneous nerve stimulation or something like that. Apparently people pay big bucks to have it done on their lower backs these days for pain relief. It`s widely accepted.

I`ll admit that "Electric Shock Therapy" looks a lot better as an attention grabbing headline though. Makes those Evil Chinese look so ...Evil, dunnit?

By the way, did anyone ever go to that Jesus Camp movie? Or ever read the stories about those bootcamps where parents send their gay kids to be scared straight?

Heh, somehow i suspect that this won't just be implemented in china.

if not electric shock, medication.....

How many of us on here may be institutionalised?

you mean this?

Don't get me wrong - I am not fan of torture, and I am not an American.

But we all know, that in China torture is widespread, more then anywhere else.

Let me shed a light:

Torture - A Growing Scourge in China
China torture 'still widespread'
Chinese Torture Methods

And also a picture - because I see you like pictures:


At approximately 3:00 p.m. on May 7, 2004, Tang Yubao, the deputy head of the No. 2 Brigade, along with team leader Jiang Zhaohua, called Ms. Gao to the duty office and tortured her with electric batons for seven hours, according to these sources. Those detained with Ms. Gao in the labour camp say she sustained burns on her face, head, and neck, which caused her face to swell and become disfigured. Her face was covered with blisters, and her hair was matted with pus and blood. She could open her eyes only a crack because her face and mouth were severely swollen and deformed.
