]I'm not a gambler, but that's mainly because I'm not very good at it. [/B] But that doesn't mean others shouldn't have that right. I know people who have lost a lot of money gambling. I know of cases where one person's gambling habits have led to the destruction of their marriages, and the suffering of their families. I even know people who are involved with certain "organizations" that host and benefit from the gambling activities of others.
Like other personal activities though, it's not something that I think the gov't should interfere with, or make illegal.
I am not a gambler either. Mostly cause I hate pissing my money away. First thing any gambler should learn is that the house always wins.
Second, I bet many of you gambler supporters are really glad when the guy with the gambling addiction causes his wife and kids to apply for food stamps and welfare.
Or better yet, when those on welfare line up to play what few meager dollars they have, they play on the lotto. Why some times when I am standing in line while this person plays all their numbers, why it's just like they have a job or something.
Bet you all like the poverty and misery that gambling brings to way to many families.
Don't believe me? Google "gambling addiction".
