| Message | Gambling does not make everyone who CHOOSE to do it - addicts. Unlike ciggarette smoking. Gambling should not be illegal simply because some citizens have a problem with it. |

| Message | So you just don't care about the people who don't have the nerves to withstand the temptation? You don't care about the countless homes which have been wrecked over the years? |

| Message | Listen I used to play cards semi-professionally (not as main source of income) and I never got addicted. I chose to be responsible with my life and my finances. Just because some people are not responsible doesn't mean you change, regulate and revoke freedom from citizens who do. Either you believe in freedom or you don't, it is as simple as that. |
