There is no reason sports betting should be illegal.
Everyone knows the spreads, they are in every newspaper, and even discussed on ESPN.
Why have it legal in 1 state but not the rest.
Its silly.

Prostitution should not be illegal either.

Correct. Girlfriends initially are hookers. You pay for everything, buy them shit, and act properly to get sex.
No difference.

Plus there are so many grey areas. The old money for sex no longer holds water.
If I pay a chick $100 to dance for me and I wack off, is that prostitution? I don't believe so.
If I pay her that same $100 and give her a massage while we are both naked. Is that prostitution?
The whole law is obsolete.

Gambling, prostitution, and street drugs should all be legal. It would make society a better place. More people would be working and paying taxes, it would take the fun out of drugs for teenagers because it would no longer be against the law and cool. Use the tax money generated from drugs to warn people about what could happen. The people that want to do these things are going to do them whether they are legal or illegal. Why spend money trying to stop it when it is unstoppable?
Switzerland just made heroin legal in clinics. You walk in and shoot up government heroin.
Here in the states you can be on legal methadone within 5 days if you want. Just take some Vicodin over a few days and piss in the cup at a methadone clinic, test positive, fill out some papers, and get ready for blast off. Much stronger and longer buzz than vicodin.

I'm probably closest to anarchist, so I want the government to f*ck off. People should be able to do whatever they want, as long as it doesn't harm others.
To hand out heroin is government involvement, and lowers thresholds for people to become addicts. That kind of society doesn't care about its people, but just doesn't want to deal with the trouble that addicts bring. Typical Swiss attitude.

Legalizing drugs is the least bad solution to a difficult problem.

Legalizing soft drugs. Sure.
Handing out heroin is a terrible idea. Any kid going through a crisis would be within a hair of becoming a junkie.

They should have places where people could go and buy their drug of choice, get the right amount applied buy a well qualified nurse that can take care of the "customer" making sure he doesn't pass away or go out in the street and do crazy stuff, it'd be controlled.
As far as gambling, I believe it's a lot easier for the Gov to watch on site only, like Vegas, the more places get into it the easier it would be for gambling to get out of control and money start leaking.

Not sure about the drugs, I would just like to bet on sports easily and efficiently, and be able to call up a girl, and have her come over legally to administer a full release for a reasonable fee.

I just don't buy this.
Obtaining drugs isn't the least bit difficult now. You could buy any drug you wanted at my college or high school with no effort whatsoever. Alcohol was far more difficult to obtain (still easy of course).
People are going to do what they do. Many drug deaths are because the low lives that sell drugs cut them with nasty shit that kills people. Legalizing, taxing, and regulating it would at the very least eliminate that aspect.
And I'm not suggesting handing it out. I'm suggesting selling it in limited circumstances.

it shouldn't be called "prostitution", they should call it "wife's for rent", it's all the same principal, you pay for sex, exactly what you do with your wife, except you don't have to deal with the bs, lol
