Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
I view it the exact same way. Throw some money in the trash or buy a lotto ticket... don't see a difference between the two, guess I can just give it a bum, it's the same thing too!Originally Posted by sneakerd

With the lotto ticket you get a few minutes of entertainment ... and occasionally you get your money back (which never happens with the trash).
That said I rarely buy them because I rarely have cash on me (and when I do I'd rather buy a soda).
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".

A World Without Guns <- Great Read!
Ya Ronin I hear ya. Hate to ride the Ramsey horse again, but I'm gonna. In our class Ramsey calls the lotto a 'stupid tax' and shows the demographics where the most tickets are bought, shocking, the same demographics that are on welfare, etc.
Feel the same way about Starbucks! What a waste of money, yet people will think nothing about dropping $5 bucks for a cup of coffee!
When you can get a bag of coffee for less than $5 and brew something tasty yourself? People aren't that smart these days....

Never have understood the whole Starbucks thing ?????
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
I play once in a while. I figure my odds are better of winning if I actually buy a ticket. I do put an extra dollar in my savings account for every ticket I buy. I won a grand on Millionaire Raffle ($20) on New Year's Day, so I figure I'm still WAY ahead for the year.
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Some of it is good, but it's really just over priced fancy shit. Like Dennis Leary says "Can I get some fucking coffee flavored coffee please? And what ever happened to large!? What is this venti, tall, grande shit!?"Never have understood the whole Starbucks thing ?????

The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math.
I think it's egregious for the government to issue itself a sole monopoly on gambling.
The people who play are the people who can't afford it.
In Indiana, your license plate renewal statement would always show how much your bill was offset by lottery income, usually around $75 a year in "savings". I told people that I won $75 in the lottery without spending any more at all.

Oh you mean Fivebucks?
