Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

Addiction ruins lives, like practically everything that triggers dopamine, gambling can be very addictive.
Addicts are going to find an addiction, it’s part of their wiring. You can change your addiction to another less harmful addiction, or rewire yourself with a lot of work.
That’s not really true. Anyone can become addicted to something. There’s not some “addict wiring” that some people are born with and some aren’t. Obviously some things increase your risk factor for addiction, like having ADHD or a traumatic childhood, but even those are correlations, not causation.
