HSFBfan Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 SCOTUS knocked down the federal ban when it comes to sports gambling. I know Monmouth Park is all set up and ready to go. Lets get to gambling Great ruling by SCOTUS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have it but we are in the Bible Belt and the Good Ole Christians from the Southern Baptist Convention are like the NRA and the 2nd when it comes to gambling. You guys would be better off allowing gambling and shutting down a lot of your fast food places. Would make a big difference in my opinion. Thoughts?

FolsomPrisonBlues Posted May 14, 2018 Report Share Posted May 14, 2018 Just now, Sportsnut said: Those fat food places are jobs. Laws of economics at work Supply and Demand. Minimum wage. Which is also the lowest in the US in the southern states. Minimum wage jobs don't drive economics. You guys need less fried chicken spots and more middle class jobs. Keep voting red though.

And that 5 Bdr,/3 bath does not cost 400,000.........now that's stupid. For 400,000, you can get an estate. 40 acres with a 2 1/2 acre pond and a 5 Bdr, 3 bath DO THE MATH Of course they do. Ca has 40 million people. CA and GA are nearly equal in poverty per capita. That is extremely alarming considering the cost of living is so much less in GA. The math is simple. Keep voting the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This comment shows you don't know politics. Because a state is labeled a certain way do you think everyone in that state feels the same way? Wake up son or this world is going to swallow you.

A smart man, given the choice I'm sure, will take the house with the amenities. Which makes one wonder why would you pay 400,000 for a house in the desert or on a cliff in a state that shakes and moves all the time. Seems rather stupid to me, in all actuality. But that 400k house is likely in a top notch school district. Don't need to send the kids to private school. Kids go to college. Parks are top notch. Low crime. Beautiful scenery, trails, high quality living. Beautiful weather. City services top notch. It is not just the house you are paying for. A lot comes with that. That is something you southerners don't understand. Sure you can get a 100k house in the south. But what is the true cost. The schools suck, the area sucks, high crime, high obesity and bad health. Hot and humid most of the year. The parks suck, etc........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing on this planet can ever swing me to have a kid. And I also spend money I think it's also ludicrous to spend what they spend near me on per student spending in school.
