"the government has built a network of 140 Internet-addiction counseling centers, in addition to treatment programs at almost 100 hospitals and, most recently, the Internet Rescue camp, which started this summer"
They tried to make me go to rehab, I said, "No, no, no"

According to google, that would be ""확실하지 중독, 나는 언제든지 중지할 수있습니다 싶습니다"" Now if I take that and throw it back into google and make it translate it back to english I get ""Unsure of addiction, I would like to feel free to stop whois"" Close enough :D

lol, i really wanna put an english proper noun in there so it looks something like a "언제든지 중지할 verizon 수있습니다 싶습니다"

They have one in the Netherlands too. It's not like it's anything too new.

As long as there are idiots with money, there's always someone there to take it from them.

That won't work because that web-translated sentence doesn't make any sense at all.

I can live without computers, but computers can't live without me. Thats my job, and it has nothing to do about addict. People who made these rehabs are addicted to wasting time on crap because they are nothing but a dumb asses.
