The last pita I ate and dearly paid for, was rotten, that was the last pita of my life so far

Simple answer is no. People gamble rich or poor.

I am from a union family and hate what happened in Detroit. I think that was criminal. I wonder if they do it in other states, raid the pension funds.

But I am for raising the minimum wage. I think its about time. They're not asking for $15 or $30, just a little above the current rate. I also think it will end the free money from the Feds. It will hike inflation which the Feds are waiting to see. We cannot live on 0% interests forever. Its crushing the savers. Finally, it will force Washingto... [ More ]

If raising their wages to $15 an hour is a good thing...

Then raising their wages to $30 an hour would have to be a great thing!

Unions always have such great ideas.

I mean, just look at how they've helped Detroit.

Unions have organized a one day strike for fast food workers this week across the country to have the minimum wage raised to $15 an hour. What do you think? Would you cross the picket lines at Mcdonald's, Taco bell, ect

That would be fitting, Mike, but it might overshadow the Official Junior Police Force! signature he has now, LOL.

veganlife125,

I worked in Vegas from 1977 to 1993, caught the very tail end of 'the old days', then worked on river boat casinos from 1993 to 1998.

Yeah, it's true about the old codgers and others that bet big but are stiffs.

I bet you got some great Vegas stories to tell. How long ago did you work at the casino's? Ive been to Vegas several times and love it. I can understand how Tiger Woods got into trouble.

I dont see why it would.

I see people collect carts full of redeemable bottles (presumabley unemployed, possibly homeless)

They then get a couple of 10 dollar scratch-offs. I don't see them complaining about minimum wage and the effect it has on their lottery purchases.

SergeM — Fri, 29 Nov 2013 23:02:54 GMT

How about maximum wage laws for not rich people?

The question is, are vegans good? I don't know, I never ate any

Naw, not stewing about anything. But it would have been a good item for News of The Weird's 'Not quite clear on the concept' category.

As for the passengers in the prescription windshield cars, the good citizens of the Zeta Riticuli system have that covered.

As for lottery play, as Slick Nick said gamblers will always find action. Ask any bookie during hockey season!

What about those that don't take into consideration the view of the passengers when they go into the prescription windshield business hmm

Only for those who think the difference between odds of 175 million to 1 and 258 million to 1 are negligible.

Australia's minimum wage is $16.37 per hour and lottery ticket sales are very healthy there, as well as a whole lot of other gambling. Aussies bet on anything that moves: athletes, horses, dogs, cane toads, etc. All legal. I read somewhere that Australia has the highest rate of gambling in the world.

It is normal that effect is used as a nown and affect is used as a verb but sometimes this varies depending on usage.

No, that's incorrect.

And it's noun, not nown.

You got pretty heated on one of our discussions not long ago and threatened to KICK MY TEETH DOWN MY THROAT . I know the moderator took it down quickly but i hope your still not carrying a grudge. You could have said sorry and that would have been enough. We all make mistakes.

I doubt it..people always find money for liquor and drugs and really snazzy cellphones/computers.I suspect sustaining a lottery habit wouldn't be much different

Yes, however, the effect on lottery sales might be noticable due to lowering the minimum wage. lol

Affect, not effect.

Would eliminating minimum wage laws effect lottery ticket sales?
