  - I imagine four years ago they weren't as convinced of the Democratic candiate's qualities. -- nm - mara Oct 24, 07:18 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - also they had to hedge their bets, because if they turned in '04 and Bush still won, they're screwed. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 07:20 1

Poll: I've had my car searched every day, and the MPs call me the art teacher because of what's in my trunk. If someone went into your car, what would - loosilu Oct 24, 06:56 16
- Other than the fact that I should wash my car more often, nothing.. - Marlowe Oct 24, 07:12
- That I'm very organized (all the car stuff I carry is in a duffel bag) and I park under a tree shedding leaves -- nm - CovingtonCat Oct 24, 07:11

- attracting gamblers is exactly what NYC needs ... not. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 06:57 26
  - I'd just as soon they got rid of horse racing as well -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 06:57 25
    - booooooooooooooooooooo -- nm - CQ Oct 24, 07:02 16
      - Breeder's Cup today and tomorrow, baby! -- nm - CQ Oct 24, 07:03 15
        
        that level of racing I don't have a problem with, but I don't see the need to prop up a failing industry at the lower levels here. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 07:04 14
        
        But, Aqueduct and Belmont have the best jockeys in the world on a daily basis. -- nm - CQ Oct 24, 07:07 7
        
        while that may be true, I don't think adding ways for lazy people to lose money is the solution for the industry. - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 07:11 6
        
        Oh, who gives a shit? Some people like to gamble without thinking too much. That is a fairly stupid distinction. - TFox Oct 24, 07:15 5
        
        Considering the house edge in horses is like 15% at minimum; its almost smarter to play the 97% payout slot machine :) - Will Hunting Oct 24, 07:17 2
        
        Me at Mohegun Sun: $2 show bet on the favorite. Drinks for free, a race every 30 minutes. Basically, I pay 2 dollars for 30 minutes of drinking :) -- nm - CQ Oct 24, 07:18 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        in my opinion the people who gamble the least intelligently are often the people who can least afford to gamble. - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 07:17 1
        
        And fucking retarded. Don't forget that one. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 07:18
        
        Which tracks are you talking? - Will Hunting Oct 24, 07:05 5
        
        I don't know tracks specifically, but it seems like every year the NY racing commission is trying to get more revenue streams - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 07:08 4
        
        the tracks themselves struggle to make money. No one really goes to the tracks anymore on a consistent basis. - CQ Oct 24, 07:13
        
        They have a big slot parlor at the dog track here too. It is a pretty natural fit. - TFox Oct 24, 07:13 2
        
        jai alai: nothing like betting on humans. I hate to bet on it, but it's exciting to watch -- nm - CQ Oct 24, 07:16 1

      - noway. where else am I going to get a round trip to Boston for $30? -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 07:00
    - horse racing paid for my master's thesis. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 06:58 5
      - but i think horse racing and casinos ruin too many lives - zork Oct 24, 07:01 4
        
        for me it's more that we're propping up an inherently unsustainable local racing/gaming industry rather than letting it consolidate. - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 07:03 3
        
        Saratoga is the best. You can't kill horse racing. It rules too much. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 07:10 1
        
        I wouldn't kill it off entirely, just trim it back. -- nm - znufrii wants pie Oct 24, 07:12
