What's your opinion of these vices: gambling and prostitution?


Gambling: I'm okay with it, although there should be measures to control problem gambling if it occurs.

Prostitution: I'm okay with it if both parties consent and are of the appropriate age.

Gambling is like alcohol, unobjectionable in moderation, but stupid and destructive when taken to excess.

Prostitution isn't a "vice", it's a shitty, unpleasant, dangerous job.

I am for gambling and legalization of prostitution.

reply

Prostitution: Hard no.
Gambling: Yes with a bunch of caveats.

Legalize ALL of the vices…Allow adults to engage in their vices, the rest of us can work and earn like we always do, week to week we EARN.

You want to bed down with a diseased whore, gamble away the mortgage money, shoot poison into your bloodstream..?
Have fun stupid, I’m sure it’ll be a hell of a party.

Within a year the addicts, whore-chasers and gambling dopes will be gone…prison, care ward or six feet under, whatever does this bunch in, to hell with them

Legalize all of that behavior, free up the Cops to do important work like busting rapists, killers and bums that beat their wives and children

Some guys just don’t get it, let’s legalize all of this behavior so they can destroy themselves, the sooner the better

As long as the gambler pays all their bills, and doesn't expect hand-outs from others when they lose, fine.
Also, as long as the games or whatever are not rigged for people to lose, or for certain people to win.

Prostitution is a little more tricky. On the one hand, as long as it's consenting adults, I don't really see a problem. Until a man goes to one then brings one of their diseases home to his wife, girlfriend, partner, whatever.

i support both of them. in that i believe in freedom, even if it's freedom to do something i think is a bit silly or destructive.

i think the world works best when everyone gets to live the life they wanna live.

I'm OK with both and other vices.
