Shoot the bull thread

["D"]

IMO lotteries set off a vicious cycle that not only exploits low-income individuals’ desires to escape poverty but also directly prevents them from improving upon their financial situations.

So does so many other habits some call bad. Anything people perceive as bad that they do not do themselves, they tend to think it is ruinous of others. I can think of many examples, such as gambling,smoking,drinking,over eating and even to some shopping at walmart. And so many more. However it is great that we have so many differences,agreements and opinions. Makes the world go round and life more interesting. I think not working contributes more to preventing low income people from improving their status, than gambling. These of course are my opinions and I certainly try to not call out people or groups of people every time I disagree with them. I don't have that much time. The second sentence in the first post of this thread says"Keep it civil". Supposed to be fun and random. As being entrusted as a Supermod, I struggle sometimes with things such as the cartoon a few posts back. My opinion is that the cartoon matter is a subject for the way off topic forum. I did not move or delete it, hoping it would just get passed over. Let's get back to sharing fun idea's and topics on here, such as gardening, cooking and family items and put the way off topic and insulting post's where they belong.
