The expansion of legal gambling brings expansion of problems. In Canada, research by the University of Alberta concluded, "The suicide rate for gambling addicts is 3.4 times higher than the average Canadian." The study also found that "gambling addiction among children over 12 has continually increased since 2002."http://www.post-trib.com/news/opinion/686509,wolfcol.article
In the United States, the National Institute of Mental Health has a $1.8 million grant to study "prevalence of problem gambling across the 14 to 21 age group and its relevance to alcohol abuse."
Much of youth gambling is playing the lottery, sports pools, poker and the Internet. Ours is the first Hoosier generation to grow up in an atmosphere of legalized gambling.
An Atlantic City, N.J., survey reported "two-thirds of high schoolers have gambled in the casinos there. In Nevada, 10 percent of adolescent gamblers under age 21 are at risk."
Daniels recently spoke out against legalizing Internet gambling (HR 2046) because it is "accessible to minors 24 hours a day."
...you are too stupid to know that the law bans under-age people from entering into the IR casinos in Singapore?Originally posted by deathbait:ok we get it
under-aged gambling is bad.
nice strawman.
Of course, this will be a direct reason why the IRs are bad, because secondary school students will gamble their pocket money away on blackjack.
What nonsense, as usual.
But I don't want to discourage you from posting stuff of substance like this one for a change. Just try to find something relevant next time.
...too silly to realise that was my entire argument.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:.... too stupid to know that the casino bans under-age people from entering... ROFLAMO![]()
Hi Bro....Originally posted by deathbait:...too silly to realise that was my entire argument.
And how was that article relevant when you yourself can understand the SG IR will have one of the tightest no entry security around?
God you're thick. You'll laugh at your own mother's funeral if I insisted she were alive.

Hi Bro....
Much as I disagree with Mr Yap and think he is an [b]Egocentric A**.... what you wrote really hits below the belt..... Whatever disagreement we are having, best leave each other's family member out of it..... Cheers

I'll like to point out that I did not insult his mother. It was a simple example of how far Andrew would go to defend his points.Originally posted by hloc:I did said I consider Mr Andrew an Egocentric A**....
But I have yet read any thread from Andrew writing stuff about another person's family member..... Most of our 'insult' is towards each other, never bringing kids, wife, mother, father, brother, sister.... etc, into the pic.
Like I said....... lets keep our disagreement between ourself![]()
... and you probably think that your life started when your mother gave birth to you when your life could have very well started from dog sh!t Mr. Green
Let me explain. The dog sh!ts near a papaya tree... and the papaya tree used the components of the dog sh!t to produce a papaya and your mother ate the papaya and the papaya that has components of dog sh!t in it, got used by your mother's body to produce that egg that became you....
You see? Your life started from dog sh!t, case proven... Mr. Green
You cannot call it hitting below the belt when it is the truth, Mr Chin Eng...Originally posted by Chin Eng:seriously, andrew has hit below the belt many times too..... so what have you got to say about it????

But while we're at it, here's a reminder of when he DID insult my mom.
What an insane liar... saying that your mother ate a papaya is insulting her? hahahaha then I must have insulted everyone that ever ate a papaya...Originally posted by deathbait:I'll like to point out that I did not insult his mother.

Where is APKY ?
To atone for his being a disgrace to the human race he has gone into retreat to become a monk in a temple in the remotest corner of Thailand .... and in his shaven head he is chanting his sutras many times a day for the monkeys to hear as penance and when at last he receives forgiveness by his fellow primates and only then will he begin his slow crawl back to Singapore to be reborn again as a human being.
He may also be on a 'crusade' in his adopted 'motherland' Thailand. Having heard the Prime Minister announced the intention of opening casinos there ..... he has packed his bags and shipped all his books (now in Thai) there to stop this from happening.
