| Message | I'm not so sure,,,,I think that gambling should be legal across the nation, but limited... |

| Message | ...so there's a limit to the amount of money one can put in. To solve the money problem, perhaps casinos should be government-run, so proceeds from it can be used for better things. |

| Message | Which means I'll probably agree with you here. People say that we should stop people throwing money down the drain in gambling, but I wonder how many of them would like to pass a law against burning money. At least this way the law will be consistent across the nation. |
