You want to see porn and gambling illegal? I can kinda understand the porn thing, but gambling? Why?
First of all, I stated that there were "a growing number of people who are selfish, self-centered individualists" who want these things to be legal -- that all of the above are "victimless crimes" and that the government has no business in interfering. I think on that we agree.
Second, you're asking about my personal stance on porn and gambling? Not illegal, but reasonably restricted and regulated.
As far as gambling, I am against state lotteries and "riverboat" casino gambling. The increased revenue to the state is just used to expand government giveaways (or do you believe them when they say it goes towards education?). Therefore, there is no benefit, and the people who can least afford it are the ones gambling away their welfare checks. Gambling addiction is horrible, and we all pay for its consequences. Gambling gives false hope and sends the message that one can get something for nothing -- it appeals to the ugly side of man.
True story. Many years ago, I was in Las Vegas (for a convention) and I watched a young man doubling up on his bets spin after spin. He kept losing, and his wife was pulling at his arm to leave. His last bet was around $500., which he lost.
Not a lot of money, I know, but you could tell it was way over what he was willing to lose. It was, I don't know, sad to watch, and I felt sorry for both of them.
That one incident hit me hard, and I guess it shaped my opinion. So maybe I'm not the one to ask about legalized gambling.
