Paddy,

Welcome to the boards and thank you for the post. I tend to do the same thing. I forget sometimes that both of these crimes have basically the same effects and outcomes on peoples lives. The degenerate gambler winds up just like the drug addict, broke, in jail, and in the cemetery way before their time.[/quote]


It just seems that other buisnesses are less harmful than others. Like extortion and gambling is one thing but prostituion and drug dealing is another. They generally do lead to the same thing where the victim does become a degenerate alchoholic/druggie, broke, in jail or all of the above. All theses types of buisnesses are harmful. Just some are more direct to the end result. Thanks for shedding light on the end result of both buissnesses
