Gambling destroys lives. If you guys genuinely disagree with that, you're not right. Go look at the data of gambling related deaths and bankruptcies ... And think about how many are not considered in the data.

Stop being purposefully ignorant just to prove the validity of your attacks against my opinion. That is worse than anything we are discussing in these threads

But if you really believe in your opinions, I dare you to say publicly that you think gambling is good for your overall health. What a stupid opinion that would be, but still, go right ahead

Speaking of misguided thinking, consider this: Is sitting detrimental to an individual's health? No? I dare you to publicly say that you think sitting is good for your overall health! See how stupid that sounds?

Sitting, much like gambling, is an activity, and like many other activities, it can have both negative and positive effects on one's health. You claim that gambling (as an activity) is inherently bad for the individual, but you are being purposefully ignorant and refuse to acknowledge that there is a clearly defined distinction between gambling as an activity and gambling addiction as a psychological disorder.

But we digress here. The main point of this discussion is that YOU believe that gambling is harmful and that it destroys lives, and yet, you have no problem promoting this activity with your personal signature. This means that you are purposefully and directly contributing to the number of gambling victims you speak of, all for your own personal gain. Well, if you dont see anything wrong with that, then you are not right and I cannot help you there.

Gambling is not good for health and mixers have a high rate of eventually becoming a scam, both of these are factual.

But taking money to advertise for both is fine. Wink

Probably the only thing what's really a bit unhealthy is his mental gymnastik...

Gambling, by itself, does not pose a health risk.

Maybe in gambling, it can be dangerous to hit the jackpot? Huh

Sounds a bit dangerous at least...

You have never heard those stories about folks keeling over from heart attacks after they win the jackpot? But you know, it makes me think maybe we should all stop having sex too, because, apparently, thats a gamble that could kill you too! Cheesy
