"Illegal internet gambling ruins lives and tears families apart. Study after study has shown that gambling is a scourge on our society that leads to bankruptcy, divorce, crime and moral decline."
I disagree on the basis that I don't think it is illlegal internet gambling itself that ruins lives. I believe the ultimate cause of the problem is inability of those gamblers in a compulsive state who bet more than they have to bet. I do think that almost all gamblers end up on the losing end dollar wise long-term. However, only those who value the action over the life status of themselves and/or their loved ones are the ones with their lives in the poop pipes.
