| Message | Good point there, APL. We're all for that you need a licence. Besides, if the local bar wanted gambling, they'd become a casino with a bar in it. This way not every Tom, Dick, and Harry can put slot machines in the Chuckie Cheeses they work at. |

| Message | and why not? if the slot machine offends, stop going there. they will take it out when buisness goes elsewhere, not when it is banned. |

| Message | Will someone explain to me why gambling needs to be under a different set of laws than any other form of entertainment? going to an amusement park is just as draining on the wallet as a casino, and you get no more out of a movie theater than you do from a roulette wheel. |
| Date | 01:32:39, July 03, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Gaming Regulatly Bill |
| Message | Because, who KNOWS where money from un-regulated gambling goes? Mobsters, terrorists, thugs, you name it, they will try to suck money from gamblers. You don't see mobsters opening movie theatres(although they DO run bars, yet to make a bar you need a license, because you need one to sell alcohol), but they DO open casinos. Regulate the industry, and more money will go the to the good entrepeneurs and less to Pablo Escobar and Al Capone types. |

| Message | ("Mobsters, terrorists, thugs, you name it, they will try to suck money from gamblers.") how is that different from anyone else? nobody's forcing you to gamble. we're just letting those who want to, do it. |

| Message | Gambling is an addiction. |
| Date | 23:07:14, July 03, 2005 CET | From | National Forwardist Party | To | Debating the Gaming Regulatly Bill |
| Message | and so is smoking and alcohol. don't want to get addicted? don't start. the government is here to protect the people from those who would do them harm, not from themselves. we're politicians, not babysitters. I trust the people enough to do what is best for themselves. apparently, you do not. |

| Message | The difference, NFP, is that normal people use money to feed their children and their wives. Mobsters, terrorists, and thugs use the money to fund their wars of destruction and chaos against the state and the people. While you may live in your peaceful first world country, NFP, I live in the third world, and I SEE what happens. Do you want us to be a third world country, or a first world country? Because the way you're voting, you want us to be a third-world country. |
| Date | 04:39:09, July 04, 2005 CET | From | National Forwardist Party | To | Debating the Gaming Regulatly Bill |
| Message | I don't see any difference between a bar, a movie theater, a casino, a theme park, or any other place that takes money and gives you a day of entertainment. Mobsters use casinos because they make money. if lemming farming made the kind of money casinos did, you can bet mobsters would use that. |
| Date | 03:09:24, July 05, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Gaming Regulatly Bill |
| Message | But do mobsters own bars? No, because they couldn't get a license. Do mobsers own movie theaters? No, because they need a license. Do they own Casinos? Yes, because right now they don't need licenses. |
| Date | 22:41:48, July 05, 2005 CET | From | National Forwardist Party | To | Debating the Gaming Regulatly Bill |
| Message | you don't need a lisence to own a movie theater. |
| Date | 18:40:01, July 06, 2005 CET | From | Social Calvinist Unionist Party | To | Debating the Gaming Regulatly Bill |
| Message | As we have said all along, Gambling should only be allowed in liscended casinos :http://aiglesrv.no-ip.info:8080/particracy/main/viewnews.php?newsid=268. Do what the people want, no? Isn't that your motto? |
| Date | 23:04:13, July 06, 2005 CET | From | National Forwardist Party | To | Debating the Gaming Regulatly Bill |
| Message | no, that isn't our motto. |
