    Yeah? Well guess what baptists. I may be childfree, but at least I’m not a child rapist.

    Yeah, don’t try to force others to have kids,just to enhance your sex life! How bout that?

    i agree with going after sports betting, it’s a scourge on society.

    semi-unrelated but i think we should also go back to making event ticket scapling illegal.

      No no. I think scalping should be legal. But you can only sell physical tickets as a 3rd party on the site of the venue on event day.

      That makes it way too risky to do it as a business, but if you as an individual need to offload an extra ticket for someone who couldn’t make it, you can.

        you can offload without scalping, you just have to re-sell at face value. as a consumer i want the ability to sell/buy face value tickets without having to physically go to the venue on that day.

          You just described scalping…except with a fixed pricepoint.

          Scalping just is slang for reselling tickets. I’ve gone to baseball games, $48 dollar seats, from scalpers, paid $22.

            ok, whatever you call it, reselling tickets for a profit should be illegal. face value or less is fine.

        No that’s bullshit, because I couldn’t go once and was out $600 on tickets. Just let me sell that shit. We did it in the 90s and things were less fucked. Scalpers don’t get all the good shit. Corps do.

          How are you argueing against what I’m saying, by agreeing with me?

          I literally said scalping should be legal for individuals, but not feasible for businesses.

          And you replied with “No, you should let people scalp, but not businesses.”

          Which was the whole point of what I said.

    That will be next? Really? It will be a crime to not have children?

    Remember, America. YOU CHOSE THIS.
