LOL!

Gambling is a legal but unattractive vice. Sounds like Bennett knows this because he's decided his gambling days are over. The left meant to harm him, but in the long run they've done him a favor. He's quitting. That makes NOTHING he's ever said wrong. Truth is truth regardless of the messenger.

Good for Bennett for deciding to quit gambling. I'm proud of him.

Source?

I know his WIFE has declared his gambling days over, but that's NOT the same as his having "decided," as anyone who's married knows.

You might want to wait until he actually does quit - for good - before giving him a pass.

Also, it is really disturbing to learn someone who acts as though they have intellectual prowess can be so mentally feeble as to spend large amounts of money (and therefore time) doing something as foolish as playing slot machines (the worst odds in gambling). There is virtually no skill involved and over time it is inevitable that you will lose - and lose more than at any other "game" in gambling, percentage wise.

"Gambling is a legal but unattractive vice.

I hope there's a back door to at least the kitchen in Heaven for people who do good things for other people all the time; who love completely; who believe and trust in God; who shy away from judgement of others because of their own weaknesses; who care more than most; who laugh as frequently as they cry; and who teach whenever they can. Judge not lest ye be judged....Don't do as I do. Do as I say. I gamble twice a year and love it. When I lived closer to Vegas, I gambled more. Had a ball. I don't know when it becomes excessive to the point of sin. Who sits in judgement on this one?
