Let us Know what do you think a bout banning the Gambling .

Yes

Side Score: 2
VS.

No

Side Score: 7

I'm not voting yes, but I'm not voting no either.

What I am against is parents who vaste all their money at the casino, and the children must find a way to survive without money, because every penny earned will be gambled when dealing with a compulsive gambler.

I'm not saying gambling should be banned, but I wish that someone could come up with some sort if the gambler has a family. Maybe a limit or something.

Might sound stupid I know but .. it's just really sad for the people who have to suffer for other's entertainment.

The resolution says banned, not restricted. You should be posting on the 'no' side.

Gambling is a symptom, not a problem. Waste your time treating symptoms and you neglect the disease.

While the debt and addiction that can accompany gambling are undeniably unfortunate, I fail to see that either offer adequate ground to ban gambling and restrict the freedoms of both individuals and businesses.

Business. I think that may be one of the biggest arguments against the banning of gambling. Gambling is a business in itself especially when conducted by a large organization. If one voluntarily chooses to gamble and suffers harsh consequences then that is the fault of the individual. Penalizing the gambling industry seems illogical.

Side: No

Largely, I agree. I would point out, however, that the gambling industry is not an entirely innocent party. Gambling addictions are a well-established phenomenon, and the industry goes out of its way to make sure those addictions develop and persist. I do not think this warrants their being banned, but I do find it worthy of mention.

As stupid as it is, it's not necessary to ban it. Let people waste their money.

If they want to waste their money, they can waste it in a good side. Like if you have a lot of money and you want to waste it why don't you give it to poor people to use it in a good way at least they will use it to the precious target, to live their own live !!!

Side: Yes

I like going to Las Vegas. Slot machines are fun. I don't believe in gambling over your head.

Side: No
