    Yeah? Well guess what baptists. I may be childfree, but at least I’m not a child rapist.

    Yeah, don’t try to force others to have kids,just to enhance your sex life! How bout that?

    i agree with going after sports betting, it’s a scourge on society.

    semi-unrelated but i think we should also go back to making event ticket scapling illegal.

      No no. I think scalping should be legal. But you can only sell physical tickets as a 3rd party on the site of the venue on event day.

      That makes it way too risky to do it as a business, but if you as an individual need to offload an extra ticket for someone who couldn’t make it, you can.

        you can offload without scalping, you just have to re-sell at face value. as a consumer i want the ability to sell/buy face value tickets without having to physically go to the venue on that day.

          You just described scalping…except with a fixed pricepoint.

          Scalping just is slang for reselling tickets. I’ve gone to baseball games, $48 dollar seats, from scalpers, paid $22.
