Wouldn't you think places like that would have a separate arcade area set up beside the casino where kids (and adults) can win tickets to turn in for prizes instead? With some games having a 'jackpot' amount of tickets. Give minors and non-gambling adults something to do that at least feels a little fitting in a casino atmosphere, rather than just sitting around waiting.

I never thought about that. Maybe it's because they're so similar? Like a sort of "we don't want little Johnny thinking he's gambling like mommy and daddy and that gambling is cool and he'll grow up to gamble, damn those brainwashing Las Vegas sinners" idk I'm probably seriously stretching it but it's the only thing that really came to mind
In one of those casinos the kid's play place thing was right there when you walked through the door, so that KINDA incidentally lines up with my train of thought here. A kid is going to notice a huge neon sign that says Kids Quest before they notice the slot machines. Most of the kids there probably didn't even give a damn about what their parents were doing.

Same here. The hardware stores keep it in a cage too, so you have to get someone to open it for you. Hobby shops don't seem to give a crap though - probably because the stuff they sell is too expensive for any self respecting paint huffer to buy.
If you buy a knife from a self-service checkout, an employee has to come and verify it too. Pretty lame.

I'm heterosexual and happily single now. Have no desire to get married or have kids and like being alone. I was in a relationship, but it didn't work out because I didn't have time for dating after my father's stroke and while I tried to keep things going via the Internet, he never wanted to give me the time of day so I have just given up on all of it.

Would you be considered heterosexual or asexual if you don't lust after anyone but would have sexual relations with a woman within marriage, just not being attracted to it.

heterosexual. You probably wouldn't desire any sexual activity if you were asexual.

Why not try dating... not on the internet?

While if he's only interested in women, yeah, that'd probably make him straight, asexual people do sometimes need to relieve that particular need as well. The difference is that there's no attraction to people, not the lack of desire for sexual activity [which, you know, includes alone time]

I didn't date him on the Internet. I met him in college. But since my dad had his stroke and I have had to care for him full time, I haven't had time to see him or date him. I meant communicating online via e-mail as a way to stay in touch, but he never answers me when I try to talk to him as he should. So, I'm done with it because I'm not getting anything out of the relationship anyway. it's better for me to be alone for the rest of my life since I don't want to get married or have kids.

^ If you say so. You do you.
So where on the Kinsey scale would I fall on if I find some dudes kinda attractive (like a man crush), but would never want to sexualy engage them, but have dated a trans woman before? Is that like a 1? A 2?

I do say so because I don't want to just live with somebody I'm never going to marry and I have no desire to have sex since I don't want kids either. Being alone is the best solution for me as I'm the type to love solitude anyway.

Maybe for you it isn't, but I feel that since I don't want kids, I see no reason to have sex at all. Better to remain a virgin and have respect for myself and my body than to just give it up to some guy I don't want to marry or have kids with.

I never wanted kids either, but not have sex at all??!! Pfft. Not a chance. Not wanting kids isn't reason enough to deny oneself earthly pleasures. There ARE ways to prevent it, after all! (And I personally feel that virginity is vastly overrated. What's the point of keeping it anyway? Just some outdated notion of "goodness" and "purity" that serves no real purpose.) Trust me, ya don't know what you're missing!

Yeah, it's totally possible to have sex, respect for oneself, and no kids, so by all means I'd recommend at least being open to exciting new experiences. Life is for the living!

Got no issue with folks living an asexual and/or aromantic livestyle.
Consenting adults get to decide how they live. I guess I just don't understand why the backhanded slutshaming.

I don't think anyone was "slutshaming". I know some people equate sex as only for marriage, but I agree with Prophet- one can certainly have eespect for themselves and still be fully sexually active (either in a long term relationship or just casually when the urge arises) without kids being part of it. I have spent most of my adult life quite happy to enjoy it without having kids. (Except that ONE time, but that is another story.....)
