So my morals are flawed because you say so when I say the same I'm childish? I doubt you've ever seen the consequences of gambling buddy, you can ask any psych in the world what his stance on gambling is.

You can read up on it, but stop writing your own opinion and acting like it's the law, because mine is actually backed up by facts.

I know what the consequences are. I know what the consequences of drinking or doing drugs can be as do most people. That's why most people enjoy these things in moderation, also like gambling, but that's up to the individual. What facts are you backing up exactly? Show me the facts that prove gambling is immoral. You are either not actually reading anything I'm saying or are incapable of understanding any opinion or argument to your own. None of what you're saying is relevant to the argument I'm making here at all. Nobody has said you can't get addicted to gambling so what exactly are you trying to prove? The argument is that gambling is not immoral nor does everyone get addicted to gambling. Most people do not get addicted to gambling. Most people do not get addicted to alcohol. The fact that some do is completely irrelevant.

In the past, the psychiatric community generally regarded pathological gambling as more of a compulsion than an addictiona behavior primarily motivated by the need to relieve anxiety rather than a craving for intense pleasure.

Even more compelling, neuroscientists have learned that drugs and gambling alter many of the same brain circuits in similar ways.

This one's just by googling, find academic papers and read them and you'll see the truth, stop spreading false information, read a book or something more meaningful than a forum post, maybe then your opinion will be valuable.

I know why people enjoy gambling. It's the same reason why people like drugs, sex and chocolate. That doesn't mean people can't enjoy them responsibly. Again, you're trying to disprove an argument I'm not making.

Anyway, since you are incapable of actually making a valid point based on the arguments I'm making and I've said all I needed to say on the matter, I'll leave you with the answer to your question:

[is] Gambling is okay?

Yes. Yes it is. Get over it.
