      No, that’s how we’ll look at the drug war and normalizing throwing people in dungeons over drugs (and gambling).

      A free society is a gambling and drug-using society. Your viewpoint is conservative, and an unfortunate side effect of our fundamentalist religious roots.

        I am anti advertisement of gambling. I also think that drugs and alcohol should be legal, and the advertisement should not exist. The tax dollars should be spent on better schools and people who need help with addiction and cessation.

        fuck you

        it can be legal and not normalized, gambling is retarded and exploitative. there is no reason to have gambling ads anywhere, keep it in the casinos and regulate and tax the shit out of them.

        you’re braindead
