Default Re: Online gambling ban saves morals, money

Hey,

I dont think we should be forcing morals down peoples throats. It is just stupid. When we ban gambling, then insurance companies are [censored]. They are online gambling too. They take money and payoff on chance. They have a nice HA. The stock market is like that too. There are chances of different future values....Etrade is screwed. The difference between investing, insuring, poker, blackjack, and other chance games is very small. All use business, finance, math, and stats to profit or lose.

This is typical leftist bull.

So deciding what is and is not "moral" and imposing those values on others is leftist now?

Like all those leftists who disapprove of homosexuality and single mothers and abortion. Those leftist bastards.>>>>>>>>>>& gt;>


Well... I dont know if abortion is really a moral issue,,,but i agree with the rest. It is really a question of whether that fetus is human or not. Which seems to be up to debate.

The rest is someone telling you what they think is wrong. If you arent hurting someone in some way then it is none of people's business.

This does seem to be were the right is wrong. I am to the right fiscal, but I guess I am social left (save two which I dont consider moral issues).

Government run games with payouts of 70% = GOOD MORAL VALUE

Anyone else game with a 98% payout= BAD MORAL VALUE

Insurance is thought to be moral as well.

What is the HA on Life Insurance, Car Insurance and so on?

I think it is up there around 30% too.

stupid gamblers...they should buy insurance for fun----that will cost them more...yet be moral.

It's actually a curious combination of the worst aspects of both the right and left.

She wants to legislate morality (which is a right-issue) and yet is anti-capitalist (which is a left-issue). That the answer is in legislation and more laws is a left-issue, whereas what she wants to control is morality, a right issue.

She's just a confused young'un who sees something that SHE thinks must be a bad thing, for whatever reason (probably anecdotal evidence she's heard about her friends going broke or something), and doesn't think through the actual ramifications of what she's saying.

So should the gov. open a chain of federal card rooms with a 30% rake?

Who in God's name is losing thousands of dollars gambling online?

And can I add him to my buddylist?

I'm not giving up the better part of my buddy list. But I am fairly sure that the biggest fish on my list lose about half a grand per week at the Party 3/6 games.

Having sex will cost your maybe 100K a head so we should ban that? God drinking will shorten your life. Religious puritans want to ban everything but taxes and working........... [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
