Who really gambles? Not well off people. Poor miserable people hoping for a miracle would be the biggest gamblers.

But serious gamblers are low class people looking for an easy way out.

So clearly it's a class thing.
What about the poker championships on ESPN? If anything I think serious gamblers have money. You gotta have money to gamble, amirite? I think completely opposite of you.

Do you think the casinos in Monte Carlo and Vegas are filled with low class people looking for a way out?

Gambling has nothing to do with social class or status. The casinos of the world are filled with very rich high rollers who are flown in and out and comped on everything because they blow so much money on their addiction.

Gambling is an addiction that recognizes no racial or class lines,just like alcoholism.

Of course they can, but guess what, this wasn't one of them. BTW, the St Pattys video was nothing compared to this one. You need to get gentrified back to Jersey, jump off the welfare ride, vote republican, and be a father to your children.
ROFLMAO!!! Thank you for the comedy and the insight into your intellect & character. That was beautiful!

You can't have it both ways without being hypocritical.
So many rep points I could give to you, Relaxxx, SeventhFloor, and bluedog2 if I were able to.

Oh son, you are really trying it LOL! Don't worry about my party affiliation, keep proving your "point" about how gentrification is needed, how certain people are savages, etc.

Interesting how I simply repeat what you post yet you still find it funny. Your a simpleton. Why come to the defense of these savages? Did you take part in the brawl or something? Do you personally know the guy they are searching for? Oh daughter.

If calling me a simpleton makes you feel better about yourself, go ahead. You're not doing me anything but showing your ignorance. However, I would like for you to point where I defended the people that took part of the brawl. I'm waiting...

BTW it's you're, not your.

Okay, done. You agree they are savages too. The ones from the St Pattys day parade turned themselves in already. Maybe the casino ones will as well.
