I thought they had books in New Orleans.

I didn't see that. If you find out, let us know.

First, you overlooked the Titans/ Oilers.

Yes, I did. Or actually, I didn't. I had them written down, but then forgot to type them.

I can't see any of them breaking through this year. Best chance in the bunch? Probably Philly... and it appears Vegas agrees.

Just like a lot of the rest of the country. Fat cats keep getting fatter

Seriously, no gambling (generally) outside of very specific restricted locations? Howcome?

we are a country built on diversity....

prostitutes in vegas get rich....prostitutes in Ohio go to jail

gambling in some states is good business.....gambling in other states is organized crime...

selling weed in Colorado is medicine distribution......selling weed in NY gets you 10 years.....

walking down the street with a machine gun is completely legal......but reaching for your cell phone might get you shot...

we embrace all diversity ....yet hate everybody who is different...

we are very progressive......yet completely against any type of change....

and you can do all of these things and get away with it....or get arrested, or beaten, or shot ....just kinda depends....

Fear of corruption....it has happened. Religious objections. Protectionism.....state lotteries and casinos don't want competition

Remember, before like 1970 you could only casino gamble in Nevada. Then Atlantic City allowed it starting in the 70s. Then Indian casinos in the 80s....then it starte proliferating til now it is all over the place. It has only been 5-6 years now that Ohio has had Casinos. Sports betting...as noted is still only allowed in a very few places.

As for other vices:

I didn't know that prostitution was legal in the UK, Ireland, much of Europe.....and CANADA?

[gftChris]

Didn't know that but I don't really have a problem with it.

[Mudfly]

I wonder if there are any casinos that'll let you burn a fatty and play Black Jack, whilst polishing your gun and knob at the same time?

You mean you have never made a trip to your local legal whorehouse? Hell, do you even know where your local legal whorehouse is?

If not, you can apparently get help from the service run by this guy:

I doubt it. But you have come up with a very entreprenurial idea.

Ive done the Ripper, Ghost and Gallery walks(amongst others)....but never the whore house walk....

And....always.....look BOTH ways before crossing......

Because it kills communities.

Guessing you would just as soon get rid of state governments?

you'd love germany then. buy hash, get laid and gamble without repercussion. just stop if the cops tell you to or you WILL get shot. no such thing as police brutality there.

are you also guessing I want to debate politics here?....cause that would be wrong.....

[wargograw]

Hey you went on the rant originally!

I went on a rant?....about State government?.....ok, if you say so....?

In my world, I just responded to Chris questioning why we have some things legal in some places and then not have them legal in others...

And offered some insight(and, I believe, complete truths) about how things are very inconsistent here in the US of A....but I certainly dont see where I took a stand(on anything) or mentioned anything about getting rid of state governments....

Y'all can keep your politics and foolish debates for the loony board.....

[wargograw]

But the reason the inconsistencies exist is because state governments have the right to make their own (differing) laws. That's the point.
