Why are you getting so heated about this? How is me posting my opinion on Kalshi controlling others lives? You are projecting quite a bit here. 

When I was a kid, we had a drug store downtown in my little East Texas townthat still had ice cream and soda.  My grandpa would take me there and let me get a scoop of butter pecan.  

I also remember there was always two old grumpy farmers sitting at a table drinking coffee.  My grandpa told me to stay away from them because they were just bitter old guys who were angry at the world and wanted to argue and complain.    I just remembered tbeir names.  Oldesthorn and MBHornsfan.

So you want to control other adults lives?  Why don't you live yours and leave others alone.  

Be sure not to vote if you feel this way. Every vote  you cast is to influence things to be more like the way you want them to be, at the expense of things not being the way others want them to be.

There is literally not a way to truly “live and let live” without becoming a monk.

And honestly, I do share OP’s sentiment and believe Kalshi and Polymarket should not only not be advertised by OTF, but should be illegal. It’s far beyond sports betting. 
 

Just curious, do you think prostitution, heroin, cocaine, etc should be legal?

Yes.

I actually think DraftKings or something like that is where to draw the line. Being able to place bets on world affairs, anything and everything, is incredibly unethical and problematic imo. 
 

Yes, I get this is done with good intentions of making payroll. But that is an “ends justify the means” approach. Have to ask yourself if the ends justify your means, or if morals and ethics do.

Except unlike most olds I support allowing people to live their lives as they see fit and not how others want them to.

It’s not that deep I promise you that😭 this is a fricking Texas fan club at heart. All those things you listed below OTF hasn’t endorsed in any way shape or form nor does it correlate to anything said in this thread.

The point of this post is OTF has endorsed Kalshi, which OP has stated (and I agree) is as unethical as prostitution.

Tf kind of escalation is that😭, not even close to the same level of crime.

I never compared Kalshi to prostitution lol. I do believe Kalshi is unethical, but it’s hard to compare those 2 subjects. Kalshi is problematic for a whole other set of reasons.

Does the legal penalty determine the level of ethics?

That would be your view. Not mine.

I didn’t claim it was your view. You weren’t the original poster of this post (OP)
