Re: Online gambling ban saves morals, money
You might suggest that the the same morals argument can be made about alcohol drinking, parties, sexual contact between students etc. If they pick on gambling as the weak link, the others could be next.
No student body I know of (outside certain religious schools) will want to go down that road.

Re: Online gambling ban saves morals, money
Oh God, think of the children!! College students are not responsible and can't be trusted with their own money!! We need to have morals imposed on our puny brains!!
The only point she makes in defense of internet gambling, that "immoral" internet pornography is allowed so gambling should be allowed as well, is also way off. On another forum I frequent there was a big thread a pornographer started, answering questions about his career and he's convinced that the US porn industry is going to get hit hard any day now.

Why in the world would we introduce and advocate a more accessible method that allows you to easily gamble thousands of dollars away without leaving your house? [/ QUOTE ] See, this is the problem. People who don't understand that the difference between saying that an activity should not be outlawed and advocating that activity. I don't think the government should be passing laws outlawing people eating at McDonald's. That doesn't mean I advocate going to McDonald's. McDonald's sucks.

Who in God's name is losing thousands of dollars gambling online? And can I add him to my buddylist? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [/ QUOTE ] "People" Wonderful spin tactics here. Everybody in America can contribute a $1 loss and we as a nation will have lost "thousands of dollars" Obviously the madness must stop. On an unrelated note, anybody catch the Lotto numbers last night?
