Should gambling be allowed for legal adults 18-20?

No, thats pretty much it most of the time. There are exceptions, but poor people in a successful country, who remain poor all their lives, are almost always lazy, or have mental problems. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Amazing. What an asshole attitude. Aside from being completely wrong, the callousness of that statement is truly breathtaking. There's no such thing as bad luck? No such thing as bad health? No such thing as being fired, laid off, having your business fail?

I realize that this attitude is part of the conservative mythology, but I've never seen it stated quite this baldly. In a karmic world, you would need help some day and people would gather in a circle and watch you bleed to death without lifting a finger to help you, because your injuries/illness are obviously the result of your laziness and/or stupidity.
