    Do you approve of gambling? I'm not talking about little bets friends make, but gambling on casino type games. Poker, black jack, craps or a various ammount of othee games.

    I think gambling isn't bad as long as it's controled. In fact I love playing poker, for money or not.

    Long as it causes no harm, then yeah sure.

    Don't do it myself, just not interested.

    i love gambling on casino games... blackjack especially..

    i enjoy slots too, as long as you've got self control.

    i love seeing those people in casinos crying because they've lost their life savings. but i'm emotionally sadistic like that..

    I think after two of our band members die and our band's legacy is over I'm going to become a professional poker player.

    You look more like a professional bowler to me.

    Well what are you talking about? The moral issue, or the legality of it?

    If for the moral issue: If you've got a family that needs the money, tis wrong, in my opinion, to gamble.

    Legality: It is a victimless "crime" in some places (in NC it is, except for the Cherokee reservation where there's a casino, and there's no lotto here either), and victimless crimes should not be crimes at all, no matter what.

    That's why I always played free poker.

    Life's a gamble enough itself.
