When people say "you have no life" they're telling the person they spend most, if not all, of their time indoors staring at a screen and prancing their fingers accross the keyboard.

I dont think they're automatically labeled a hipocrit simply because they use the internet.

No life requirements:

1. You are making very little/no progress in your social life(assuming there is one).
2. You spend much/all of your time indoors at your computer.
3. You are not interacting with reality.

I think #3 is the most major.

I personally do not have anything against this insult, as i find it can be very applicable to certain individuals. However, it also depends on your perspective, like the person with "no life" probably sees himself as simply having a different lifestyle from the norm.

The major problem with this is that there isn't really any way to prove the person you are insulting has no life, so it isn't a very valid insult is most cases. If someone told you that you had no life over the internet, you can simply deny it, call them a moron for making the assumption, and move on:

Arch: You have no life.
Jamie: False. You are a moron.

Just for examples sake. Don't let yourself think those names mean anything.
