What are your views on gambling?
Some conservative politicians here in the UK are discussing the possibility of further relaxing the gambling laws so that casinos and gambling machines are more easily available in ordinary towns.
While I fully admit it goes against what I normally believe about individual freedom of choice, I find gambling disturbing and would prefer to see it much more heavily restricted. I can't see any positives in gambling (except perhaps for the casino owners) and I see lots of negatives. And in a time when the whole global economy is on the verge of collapse largely because of gambling within the financial world it seem insane to me that we should be encouraging people to gamble more!
