Message: [QUOTE="mick, post: 2178522, member: 1794"] Absolutely. I don't think anyone is arguing the fact that gambling CAN be so destructive, to exactly the same point as alcoholism. My big problem is that people like yourself agree with morons who can't seem to draw a line in the sand between having a flutter and having a problem which could put your whole life at risk. Just like people can be social drinkers who enjoy a beer or three or some wine with friends, people can also have small bets on the footy or horse racing for some enjoyment. The article above was posted in ridiculous rhetoric and dribble... all good when you can use phrases like "many" and "all too often"... things that can't be disproved, as such, but still are obscenely general and vague. Yes, gambling should be heavily regulated. But, like alcohol, the majority of people enjoy it without having it rule or ruin their lives... just like alcohol. So honestly, if you're going to get all preachy about this topic, I really don't want to see you drinking a beer the next time we catch a game at the leagues club. [/QUOTE]
