sisters.... m'am.... tai-tais...
please don't turn this into another RCs vs Protestants debate
again.
note that while some Christians (including RCs) argued against the
issue of casinos, some of such arguments are based on personal
conviction and others may be a sense of duty to their
churches.
and when some Christians do not argue against casino, it does not
mean that they are pro-gambling. It may mean that such Christians
have another take to the issue and may view "casino" as only ONE
factor in the entire process.
I am not pro-gambling, never gambled, never will. I enjoyed Vegas
for all the lights and the buffets, walked through all the one-arm
bandit and the blackjack tables, I still do not gamble. I will also
NOT voice against the issue of building the Casino(s). To me an
addiction and control is a personal issue. No amount of government
legislation is going to help the individual in this. Of course,
herein, one argument is that NOW the government may be facilitating
an environment to "increase the chances" of "social disorder". This
at best is only an assumption. Those who gamble big time, will
continue to gamble big time, the others may place small bets once
in a while. Still it is a matter of personal accounting to oneself
and one's family.
Would and should a teetotaller start a website that petitions the
closure of pubs and bars?
I, and my family, will be looking forward to the theme parks and
restaurants that will sprout in such resorts. Would anyone wish to
accuse me of being hedonistic and indulge in glutonny?
