Why are people so naive to believe the government is incapable of gambling corruption?
phantomrider45 asked:
In response to water skipper…anyone who controls anything is capable of abuse. Gambling was prohibited by the government because of problems both socially and individually, now it endorses, sponsors and oversees this practice as a way to enrich their coffers. It is a sorry commentary that they are willing to sacrifice those individuals who can least afford the risk on an implausible chance just to misappropriate more money. As for not playing, I don’t, but have seen it destroy individuals and families. You may call it recreational…I call it irresponsible. Good luck on your education.

I think that people in general are naive when it comes to governmental matters. The government is not incapable of anything. There tends to be a lot of corruption with those whom hold the power. People and companies will find ways to persuade the governmental leaders to overlook things for the almighty dollar.

Casino’s must, at all costs, protect the integrity of the game. Any casino that is even perceived to be shaving, cheating or otherwise involved in activities to influence the outcome, will not last. There is a difference in the two arguments you make. The sceong that people are too stupid to know when to quit is inane. The population that become compulsive have compulsive personalities. These are the same people that will drink, snort or otherwise piss their money away. Without the casino, they would waste it on similarly idiotic things. We cannot bar the enjoymnt of the 9/10 people who don’t have a problem to protect the ones that do. We should prohibit alcohol consumption at all places if this is the road you wish to travel.
