What makes gambling bad? A casino opened up about an hour away from my community- I seen the destruction with my own eyes. I agree its your right to gamble, divorces- businesses lost- families torn apart- suicide- I’m not placing the blame on the casino’s, but I’m also not going to downplay the destructive effects that gambling had on our community.

well, your community might be filled with what we call “donkeys.” you see, donkeys love to gamble. they dont realize gambling is a form of entertainment. they gamble to win money, and this is where they are wrong. you gamble to have fun, not to win money. if you win, thats great, u made some bucks. but donkeys realize it as making money, not entertainment, and thats when they are in trouble. for me, i gamble responsibly. 10 dollar games wont hurt my bankroll.
