    You know you can make gambling against the law by going after the brokers and not the betters, right? Gambling destroys lives and pretending that legalization is the only thing stopping black market gambling is brain dead.

    Thinking you can stop black market gambling is brain dead. Get mad, it’s cute, you greasy sausage

      Please point out where I said it would stop black market gambling. Please do. I have unlimited time, and you have unlimited disappointment to give me.

      I said that black market gambling is STILL A THING, so your point that making it legal is somehow stopping it is wrong, and obviously so because that’s how words work, pal. So, anyway, please feel free to revive my brain with your refutation because I so carelessly didn’t say the thing you said I said.

        Calm down, buddy! Point out where I said “making it legal is somehow stopping it”? You have unlimited time, so I’ll wait.

        You see, if you just make up points in your head and pretend other people said them, you get everything all confuzzled, and that’s why you’re so grumpy.

          You either have an illegal but very popular activity run by “the black market”, or a legal but very popular activity run by the government and capitalists.

          Right there.

          Still didn’t answer mine yet, though. I apologize for being inconvenient and remembering things you don’t.
