lol ok last question i think i got a good topic in my head now. If you do have an infectious disease what is the USA doing to keep it from spreading, let say you found out you had SARS and was still healthy enough to go on a dream trip to France, how do they keep you from going there, or keep them from coming here? If ordered to quarantined next week, and the person does not want to go, can the person still buy a plane ticket and fly? Im gonna try to make my topic the policies of the USA on controlling infectious disease.

The US isn't going to do much unless its a major public health concern (such as your example, SARS). ITs really not common as most people take the advice of health care providers who will tell you not to travel or go out in crowded places. So, its usually the person's choice to quarenteen him or herself. But, if said person proves to not take this advise, then law enforcement may intercede. This happened recently with a case of multi-drug resistant TB:The quarantine order was the first since the government quarantined a patient with smallpox in 1963, according to the CDC.

How is gambling a disease? i don't understand?

Isn't a disease something you catch from some infectious bacteria?

It's an addiction, which is a kind of disease of the brain chemicals. You can be born with diseases, or develop them from lifestyle choices (like cancer from smoking). It's not a disease for everyone - some people can manage to gamble without becoming addicted, but some people destroy their lives with it and for them it is a disease.

No, they are comparing it to a disease, yet unreasonable, because it's an addiction, it has nothing to do with your body except wasting your money if you tend to lose a lot..

It's not. It's an addictive behavior. People like to remove the stigma of blame for things like gambling and alcoholism by calling them diseases. It makes the "victim" (addict) feel better, when in reality it allows them to be absolved of any responsibility for their actions.

it's not a disease but it will do some pretty nasty things to you like destroy your whole life so don't gamble my mom knew someone who go around 10 million dollar from her dead husband and she lost it all in 4 years because of gambling

I would not really call it a disease unless you consider any addiction a disease. I believe it's an addiction not unlike alcoholism or drug addiction which I don't consider either to be a disease. They like to use disease because it presumes you don't have any control over the situation. With addiction, you CAN get control.

Gambling isnt a desease, a desease affects your body while gambling does not.. it only hurt your pocket if you dont play right..
