on line gambling (Score 1)

At least you are intelligent enough to realize gambling shouldn't be abolished. I get so tired of these conservative holy rollers trying to run the US like some religious dictatorship from the Middle East. I believe we are all fairly tolerant of religions, but there is no excuse to enforce some gambling morality law on everyone. This country is based on freedom. We should have the freedom to do as we see fit with the money we earn. Its ridicules. I realize some people spend their money gambling when they shouldn't, but lets not limit the things people shouldn't spend money on to gambling alone. There are more ways to financially devastate yourself than I can possibly list. Lets start with church offerings. This latest attempt to shut down online gambling is a waste of our tax dollars and time. The real issue should be why US companies aren't running these sites, employing US citizens and generating tax dollars. Instead, because we are so righteous and moral, we prefer to send the millions of dollars overseas to support who knows what. If you think passing some law is going to stop this, you are sadly mistaken. Online gambling is here to stay. This is just another stupid law that will cost us tax dollars to police instead of earning us tax dollars. Please answer me this, why is it ok to run state gambling lotteries? You can go down to any gas station and gamble your paycheck away with the worst odds known to man. Why do we have dog and horse tracks? You can bet on that remotely. Why is ok for churches to run bingo gambling? Why are all of these things ok and on line gambling wrong? I guess we would be better off letting the criminals run the sport betting tax free and breaking legs. This is just another attempt by conservatives to dictate the way we live.
