Both your replies seem very light on arguments and refutations and heavy on name calling, so i don't think intellectual honesty is something you're a good judge of.
Absolutely not the case. See, what's happening is you went "will somebody think of the 25 year old children", I said that's a disingenuous argument and you went "will somebody think of the 25 year old children" again. My not engaging with the disingenuous argument isn't "light on arguments and refutations", it's me refusing to argue the issue on the disingenuous terms you are presenting.
Which is an argument I find pointless in the first place because my point wasn't about... 25 year old children being seduced by sweet, sweet sports gambling, it was that the Pew survey results were presented in a surprisingly skewed way that is representative of that exact "think of the children" falacy, regardless of the merits of the argument.
