I honestly believe that gambling should be legalized. Limits include (but are not limited to)


Once with no money, the dealer can and WILL cut you off.

Must be twenty one years of age to enter casinoes.

50% of casino profits must be given to the government. This 50% will be used to house the homeless, feed the hungry, and help the helpless.


I WOULD appreciate helpful comments, REASONABLE constrictions, and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism.

I would DEPRECIATE comments about the disproven fact that I am a troll, a nog, or snippy.

If you have a problem, you don't have to post it, send me a telegram, and let me deal with it rather than try to insult me because I disagree with your beliefs.

Why is this an international matter?

What kind of crazy casinos do you go to which let you bet without money?!

Must be twenty one years of age to enter casinoes.


Why 21? Why not 18? Why not 87?

Why is this an international matter?

Why indeed.

Why is this an international matter?

You can...umm...well...take the money from casinos of certain nations and move it to other nations to give it to their poor people. That makes good sense, right? :cool:

Once with no money, the dealer can and WILL cut you off.No... you become homeless and get part of the 50% that is taken from what they won from you and then you come back and bet again.. so they can take 50% of what you lose so you can go get more. and the cycle goes on and on until... What?
Must be twenty one years of age to enter casinoes.Our young become citizens at age ten and some even own casinoes from family titles.
50% of casino profits must be given to the government. This 50% will be used to house the homeless, feed the hungry, and help the helpless.Think we covered the problem with this in the first part. Also why 50% why not more? Also the gambling industry is like any other industry in a nation so why should it be treated differently from them by having to pay this 50%... Why not take from all an equal amount for this purpose as all in some way contribute to the problems of a nation. Also; why just use it to form welfare programs that do nothing to change people to more educated so they can avoid the problems of such evils as say gambling may bring on them. Thus more productive in a stable problem free society that may not need gambling..

That makes good sense, right? :cool:As for taking funds from one nation and giving them to another we would rather see you stop them from making weapons or building an army and using those funds to help their needy citizens than take it from us. If now you want to give to some nations welfare programs then by all means do so.. just don't ask me to. As we believe in spending at home first thus we don't have to depend on outside help to solve our problems...

I believe the HotRodian delegate was making a tongue-in-cheek suggestion.

Or was just throwing something into the air as he drives past in one of his cars.

That's fine, you believe that. Not everyone else does. Moreover, others will have different limits. Why are yours better than everyone elses?

Hirota has legislation which limits maximum winnings and maximum size of bets, in exchange for an increased probability of winning. This tends to mitigate the problem of bankruptcy.

Moreover, all gambling establishments are members only, to limit access further.

First, setting an age limit is not a good idea, because every nation has a different view on what the age of majority should be.

Second, mandating that 50% of all funds be given to the government to pay for homeless, ect. seems like you're telling other nations how they have to spend their money which won't get much support at voting time.

Third, when have you known a casino that actually cuts people off when they run out of money? They give loans to the people so that they can make more money off them. And if you don't pay it back the cops find you in a shallow grave in the desert a few years later.

Feel free to institute this in your nation but I highly doubt that you can get any kind of resolution with this to go through, good luck though.

Peace and Long Life
