Default Re: Homework assignment on poker legalization

1) "many families" - where are these many families, i dont see them anywhere. Of course there are a few horror stories out there. But there are a few horror stories for everything: Amway, daytrading, commodities, precious metals, your own shoe store, your own restaurant, your own B&B, the list is endless. Should everything be banned because a few people have bad experiences from it?

2) People who do have bad experiences need to educated and helped to stand on their own 2 feet again. You impair this recovery process if you blame the activity instead of the persons approach to the activity: if someone gets bad knees from jogging in ill-fitting shoes, does it help to blame the jogging or the shoes? No, it helps to explain to the person how important good fitting shoes are to jogging.

3) Your teacher is a nanny state fascist propaganda machine.

OK, maybe you shouldnt include #3.
