MessageTo the contrary. The aim of this bill is to increase the freedom of everyone.

And as for crimes, if the police don't have to waste resources on casinos they can crack down on real crimes.

ToDebating the Legalize Gambling
MessageGambling should be legalised as the state should not prevent people from engaging in such a past time, but gambling should still be regulated to ensure high standards within the gambling industry.

MessageA country has a duty to protect its citizens from harm, even if they want to harm themselves, why else do we have a police force.

MessageNo it has not. The police force is there to prevent people from wrongly hurting _others_ . The gambling-ban on the other hand is a random infringement on people's freedom and is itself the harm that we should be preventing.

    Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election.

A socialist world would place an enormous priority on alternative energy sources. This is what ecologically-minded socialists have been exploring for quite some time now." - Louis Proyect
