Default Re: Online gambling ban saves morals, money

heres an angle to come from perhaps.

draw an analogy to the prohibision (i know i cant spell, dont point it out) of alcohol.

##note, im not american, so do some research, but heres my understanding##

people drunk for centuries. then to 'save' people, it was banned. [censored] alcohol was made than made people blind. mafia style mobs made obscene amounts of money. governemnt saw the error of its ways. legalised alcohol and then taxed it heavily.

currently online gambling is in the mafia getting rich bit. legalising it will allow the major operators to operate in the US. they will do this cos the people would prefer that company rather than some faceless offshore company.

people get to gamble, governemnt gets a cut of $10B and everyone is happy.

or you could just call her an ignorant bitch and tell her to go do some [censored] research before writing an article for a paper.

whatever you feel is more appropriate.
