Yeah, I'm personally not a huge fan, but it's not nearly as bad as what any gambling destination is. That is nearly pure waste, with the possibility that people are seriously damaging themselves with addiction and alcohol.

There is a force inside us that seeks to convince us to undermine our own selves.
