> [@JayS](#): > > Why aren’t they smart? Because they don’t agree with you? Last time I checked democracy was about the majority, and the process of law. Just because some people think gambling should be legal does not mean that the government should look the other way while it’s citizens use a loophole to break the law. > > The funniest part about this whole debate is I’m one of those people who think gambling should be legal. But I understand the difference between making something legal, and allowing people to exploit a loophole. Is this really democracy we’re dealing with now? i can’t sit in my home (taxed) and spend my income (taxed) playing a game of poker or some blackjack online? So the majority should have direct negative influence on something I want to do? The majority of people don’t smoke in this country, does that mean all cigarettes should be illegal? That law will never pass, so why can anti-gambling, anti-gambling funder, anti-offshore, and anti-non-receiving-taxes laws get passed? I know you know the law and the rules yadda yadda… I’m just saying that the process is retarded, the people are robots and crooked, and the laws DON’T MAKE SENSE. It’s not like a personal session gambling in one’s household is affecting anyone else. The funniest part about the debate is that you like to argue for the sake of arguing, instead of representing your own opinion of what should be done. It’s like… well, I know I’m for legalized gambling, but apparently the majority doesn’t so I don’t care. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/online-gamblers-fyi/17473)._
