i'm also not referring to gambling eitherOriginally posted by Herzog_Zwei:Stop cropping my postings. I meant about the operations aspect of the gaming industry, not the gambling.

I think that it is better to learn "operations" from less harmful places... but depends on what you want to learn gambling operations for...Originally posted by Herzog_Zwei:Stop cropping my postings. I meant about the operations aspect of the gaming industry, not the gambling. -
I am surprised. It looked like you were, to me also. Maybe you should consider taking up a writing course on how to express yourself better.Originally posted by paperflower:i'm also not referring to gambling either -
only few can really understand me. sorry that i'm not at your level.Originally posted by onceinabluemoon:I am surprised. It looked like you were, to me also. Maybe you should consider taking up a writing course on how to express yourself better.

No need to be sorry... you need to learn how to express yourself better that is all.Originally posted by paperflower:only few can really understand me. sorry that i'm not at your level. -
Tell me how would you learn more about the gaming aspects unless you learn from the best in the gaming industry?Originally posted by onceinabluemoon:I think that it is better to learn "operations" from less harmful places... but depends on what you want to learn gambling operations for... -
I doubt that you can learn anything useful just by observing. A little knowledge is dangerous.Originally posted by Herzog_Zwei:Tell me how would you learn more about the gaming aspects unless you learn from the best in the gaming industry? -

hehe... it's alright for me to have flaws & let others be ahead of me. like fishes hide deep beneath the sea, keep the armour & weapons away. it's no use for me to flaunt myself here. there's no one to show. it's all up there to be put into action. sorry again, that this might not get u to understand what i said.Originally posted by onceinabluemoon:No need to be sorry... you need to learn how to express yourself better that is all. in any ways, hope you can find the most satisfactory answer u looking for. be prepared to face the picture from all angles.

After these few posts, I want to say that compassion is not just about not killing ants and insects or taking care of one's children.
If a great evil (harm to many people and that even try to lure children to their other attractions) exists and you acquiescent, you should be able to safely conclude that you lack compassion. -
No.. it is wrong to shield them from the evils of the world, when u know u can't protect them forever after u r gone, the kids have to learn to fend for themselves... To educate them is a better solution as we are REALISTICALLY living in a world where gambling is prevalent.Originally posted by onceinabluemoon:After these few posts, I want to say that compassion is not just about not killing ants and insects or taking care of one's children.

In the first place, Majority are against gambling but who is the decision-makers, can go on and on around ur own point.. but there is just talking, and u are just talk here... action is more pleasant.
For me, i will still visit to these place and bring my kids. U can disagreed with it, but there is MY life and so are others. I could educate them what is right and wrong.
Wisdom and compassion has to come together. This point u had missed out regarding buddhism. -
Compassion with wisdom means not patronising evil. Compassion with wisdom means seeing through the deceit, that the IR is a tool to promote the casino. Compassion with wisdom is to teach your children that the "fun" activities at the casino is a bait and a lure to promote gambling.Originally posted by Isis:No.. it is wrong to shield them from the evils of the world, when u know u can't protect them forever after u r gone, the kids have to learn to fend for themselves...

Other people are the decision makers. The decision makers decisions will affect their karma. The followers do no need to accept bad decisions. To support it by going to the casino's other facilities is stupid. -

Hey how old is your daughter...Originally posted by paperflower:oh i have something say about the IR thing. i do not really look at it as a main theme of gambling addicts or some unforseen bad consequences. well that is if anyone else can see from my angle.
there are the good & bad sides if a person wants to weigh the scale.
the bad - cos it gambling - lead to addiction, debts, sorry states, influential, other problems, etc.
the good side is - it brings in (money) for the country - in return that the state can use to improve further the livelihood of the nation, etc.
another good side is - (i'm a realtor & investor which is my business) with others in the same position as me, it is a big impact on the real estate industry which benefit both buyers & sellers (trade) & also the economics of the country & the region which it gives job for the other nationality to earn a living.
as bad as it may seem or can happen, it is also beneficial in other ways. to summarise or totalising it all that is bad or good is not an intelligent perspective & just because other "house" has shown bad example, doesn't mean we will follow suit or vice versa. like i mentioned education starts from home / school / commuinity / whatever else, the becoming is just turning into the right direction despite the hidden "dangers". you determine it, not others. say or talk so much also no use.
relax, most important is to have balanced view. i also have a kid, i might as well worried also or maybe not on the gambling side but worried when she'll lose her virginity or lead astray. compassion got many ways to do, doesn't mean you do this or that is called compassion. it comes from within, talk so much also cannot reflect compassion, so must do it without thinking it is for compassion sake.
all things are appreciated - both good & bad. good cos it benefits one & all; bad cos it strengthens you, teach you lesson, make you become a better person.
no worries....
