Your condescending bac...@ Dirty Herpes Simplex 30 <br /><br />Your condescending backwoods attitude is duly noted - however with a state like ours, where unemployment is hovering at the 7% mark and the rest of nation is @ 4.9%, legalizing hemp would be beneficial to the state as a job creator. With hemp you can produce strong writing paper, there's actually hempcrete that is beneficial to weather resistant building materials for homes and other facilities, as well as producing medical oils for people that have seizures. <br /><br />Lowering the drinking age to 18 should have happened years ago, if you can go off to war, you should be able to drink legally. <br /><br />As far as prostitution, wouldn't you want to make sure providers were protected and didn't have to hide their activities. Its in the best interest of the public health, considering how Mississippi has on of the highest rate of sexually transmitted diseases in the country. By making providers get licensed, maintain regular health checks - you are eliminating the illegal element. <br /><br />But you faux Christians do it in the dark anyway, so nice try. <br /><br />@ Snake Oil - yo' momma is on $2 welfare <br /><br />You named New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Mobile, Birmingham, Mobile (why you named Birmingham and Mobile is beyond me, because Alabama does not have a lottery yet) <br /><br />But you did not name Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Massachusetts - four states that have a state lottery and participate in the powerball and megamillion system - three of the aforementioned states are ranked in the top 5 in the nation and one is in the top 25. Florida school system is ranked #4, Georgia is #21, Connecticut is #2, and Massachusetts is #5. No problems with public education funding, no issues with their roads or infrastructure. <br /><br />Here's another funny tidbit - the top #25 states with good schools, every single one of them have a lottery! <br /><br />Yep, the lottery has done wonders for people in THOSE states. In other states, they are like Mississippi, they let their legislators do whatever and then wonder why they keep coming up short!

And surely they play the lottery while they're at it.<br /><br />Look, we're the bottom state economically, so let's go balls to the wall! We'll legalize a lottery, horse racing, sports bookmaking, and betting on election outcomes. We can lower the drinking age to 17 and legalize marijuana to appeal to the college-aged spring break crowd. Imagine all the money we'll make from plastered college kids!<br /><br />And how about making prostitution legal? You know, there are a lot of people in Tishomingo and Itawamba Counties that travel to Alabama for a quick one. We need to keep those dollars in the state! There's no better way to revitalize the Highway 80 corridor than to allow those motels to do their business legally. Are you so regressive that you don't want the city to flourish?<br /><br />We are our own worst enemy. If those Christians would just loosen up we could get really progressive in this state, but they're the ones who are preventing Mississippi from becoming economically strong. <br /><br />SMHHerpity Derpity DERPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-54332533257807354192017-03-07T11:42:55.757-06:002017-03-07T11:42:55.757-06:00@ Fat-Ass Person

For the record, the only political capacity I have is that of voter.<br /><br />I do not buy this argument that Mississippi is losing significant money to other states on the lottery. Yes, there are some who drive to Louisiana to dump their money down a rat hole, but most people don't. I'd like to see documentation of your 3:1 ratio, or did you just pull it out of your ass?<br /><br />We can institute a lottery and all that will happen is the indigent will become more dependent upon the government teat. A few people will win some cash and will be lauded as proof of the lottery making dreams come true. However, thousands will spend their money on nothing, and the government will be promoting this irresponsible behavior through ad campaigns and slogans like "you can't win if you don't play!"<br /><br />The lottery is a sucker's bet and that tired old argument of our money going out of state is bullsh*t. Let me ask you this, genius. How much out of state money do our casinos bring into the state, especially compared to money from state residents? I'd say your 3:1 ratio holds true, because the few times I visit a Mississippi casino, the car tags in the parking lot are pretty much 3 Mississippi to 1 out of state.<br /><br />The arguments I hear for the lottery amount to 1) we're losing money to other states, 2) we need it to help our schools, and 3) everyone else does it. My responses are 1) that amount is negligible compared to the increase in social services we'll certainly have, 2) how many more times will that same lie be used, and 3) if everyone jumped off the Empire State Building...<br /><br />I have yet to see one solid, respectable argument for instituting a lottery, and the responses in this thread underscore that.<br /><br />And nice to see Ray Ray from the Skybox take a break from selling daiquiris out of the trunk of his Bentley to make a plea for "grown-ass people".

That's a precarious position. Mississippi is losing money $3:$1 <br /><br />"I urge you to visit a Mississippi casino and see who is throwing their money down that rat hole." <br /><br />If you were so concerned about the poor - you would have pushed for Medicaid expansion so more people could have health coverage; you would have pushed for tax free groceries; you would have pushed for elimination of income taxes for Mississippians making under $40,000 a year. <br /><br />We are our own worse enemy in this state.

There are thousands of us stuck in bad marriages because one of tho other spouse will not agree to a divorce. There was a provision in the original bill to introduce a two year separation as an additional ground for divorce. Certainly the physical abuse provision is the more appealing one, however, far more lives are being ruined by not allowing divorce after a lengthy separation. It still has a long way to go for our marriage laws to enter the 21st century.....thanks Andy for a half assed effort!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-77206016680205002092017-03-06T22:14:36.301-06:002017-03-06T22:14:36.301-06:00Hey 4:08 pm,
