A third world mentality.

I just wanted to take this opportunity so say something to all you people out there that own lottery companies. Fuck you, okay? What you do, is one of the things I hate most in the entire world. You pray on semi-poor people's inability to believe that hard work actually leads somewhere.

I'm currently staying in Bed-Stuy, which is not exactly a posh area of Brooklyn(even though it's heading in that direction). Every time I go to the deli on the corner, someone walks in with a few lucky numbers, thinking "well, you can't win if you don't play". That's sentence is accurate, but only if you remove "if you don't play". I bet if you did a study on this, you'd find that the ratio of lottery ticket buyers is way higher in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, in relation to Manhattan purchasers.

I always feel sorry for ticket purchasers, since they are clearly being duped, and are also a part of the generation that have worked hard for 50 years, and still haven't gotten ahead in life. And so, since hard work hasn't ever paid off, they have no option but to put their trust in luck. People who own lotteries know this very well. That's why they are absolutely terrible people, and should go to hell.

Another detail that makes the whole scenario even more fucked up, is that most states have made gambling illegal. In fact, the only states where you are allowed to gamble, are Nevada and New Jersey. Otherwise, you have to own a patch of native-american land, or own a riverboat to start a casino. You tell me, what's the difference between gambling and playing the lottery? I'll tell you what the difference is: The state owns the lottery, and therefore have a monopoly on all gambling that goes on within the state. Now, isn't that something a socialist, or even communist, country would do? It certainly doesn't feel very "USA-ALL THE WAY".

Max once told me that playing the lottery is simply a third world mentality. I mean, I've been lucky. Whenever I've worked, it's always lead somewhere. I've always felt that I gained something. Hence, I'm a still a firm believer in myself, and therefore feel no need to waste my money on something that is not very likely happen. In fact, there's probably a bigger chance of you being offered an immensely good blow-job from a virgin unicorn outside the deli, than you winning the lottery. Most of these people probably spend about 2-5 dollars a day on tickets. Multiply that by 365, and you know what will happen? Your kids will get better christmas presents.

So let me tell you this, for the first and very last time: You are not going to fucking win. Stop wasting your money. But then again, that's easy for me to say. My dreams are still pretty much intact.
