Gambling is nothing but a Fancy word for..

gambling is not stealing its borowing money from someone else you get money for a little while then you give it to another person and then he in turn gives it to another  before you know its your turn to hold on to it again it so it should be called borrowing instead of gambling

and damn it its my turn to hold the cash for a while again

it may not be stealing but I certainly think it can lead to greed.  as alluded to in another thread.

Its the books that steal . The gamblers are the  victims

it's more fun to lose it gambling than to give it some phony baloney church who actually believes that some guy came down from the sky and created that fairy tale character in jerusalem.

 That is a pathetic loser's mentality to justify your pathetic existence. 

I think he trying to say is that gambling is one party preying on the weakness of the other

Of course, that is the essense of gambling...yes I know you may have more capital so I sure as fuck want a part and I'm willing to risk my nothingness for your something If I lose well that means little, but if I win then that means a lot....gambling is all about the reward

Gambling is due to the need to feed the greed

The tower of power that comes from money

The joy of excess

You only live once. Make the most of it.

Most importantly, if you gamble - make it count.

I hope you preach this same thing to your kids in front of your family..or would that be too shameful for you?


We all feel that gambling is wrong..even when we win sometimes...why?


Inst gambling the same as risking your money on a roll of a gun barrel.  You just point, pull, and pray the bullet's not in your chamber, but in the poor sucker's chamber who you think is less deserving than you are.

Gambling for money is about the money.  There is a rush when you win or lose, but when you go home to sleep at night, you know the main purpose of your gambling is to win money-- so don't try to lie to me and yourself with "do it for entertainment" shit.

It's wrong because getting any money unearned is money undeserved.  Maybe that's the problem with one of your premises necessary to admit gambling is wrong. or is that you don't think at all?

Getting money unearned leads to it's own destruction. We can't all live satisfying lives in a community where everyone gambles like we have, do, or will do. 


All that said- willpower is an amazing virture that i'm working on mastering.  Knowing the right thing is the first step, doing the right thing is the final step. 

dingles in the house !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
