I don't think gambling has ever been entirely socially acceptable...
Why are there some people in our society who live for nothing but making peoples lives as miserable as possible? |

Gambling, logically, is the lowest common denominator that in itself has no tangible end product.
Its akin to the absurdity of Sisyphus, but given that the west is nuts deep into the spiv culture of trading ethereal assets how can they ever discredit it? Personally I view it much as Diogenes looked at commerce within the marketplace....he would rather roll his barrel (Jar) around for no reason whatsoever than contribute to a corrupt and greedy society. |

"do some communities ignore human rights law"
^^^^^ no they dont or shouldn't anyway, this is the medias/governments way of normalising the removal of human rights, by saying - "oh its not being used anyway" - it makes people more accepting of its removal And gambling socially? what does that mean? is it bookies/fobts? because they wont remove gambling at the race tracks will they!? they are moving all gambling online Hence the push to lower fobt limits but not online limits, fobts £2? there's online slots out there that can be spun for £100, yet absolutely nothing from the mainstream media outlets on that one Oh I wonder why  The games are afoot it seems |

Why don't people question what they're being told by the media?
Why don't they ask counter questions? and push the media for an answe? The media just move from story to story without ever being hold to task on their previous round of bull s***  |

today the media are not remotely criticising the democrats?
Yet they could have ended the shut down last night with Trumps compromise, yet Trump is still the evil one? I'm no fans of Trump but christ almighty they don't ever get challenged the MSM |
|
By:
they don't even get people on the progs to give alternative opinions or do a critique
investigative journalism has faded - most of the news etc is taken from a 'news' source and simply repeated anything that does not fit an agenda - the editors simply throw it away (particularly on TV) |

 Geez I played that back ten times over in case I heard wrong, hey Nick I can see why the beeb employ you |

By:
he's just so fecking boring and I always get the impression he'll just say what he thinks people want him to say, in other words a totally pointless tv journalist.

This is what I forecast would happen when traditional punters lent their support to the FOBTs crackdown.
They're coming for the rest of us now. |
|
By:
Nah, it's just the parish church and the mosk giving out a few leaflets.
|
|
By:
They're not, screamingfrom...
The media are on a bandwagon they don't understand. Cutting the FOBTs and a bit more control over internet casinos and advertising should help bring things back a little to how they were. |

Who put them in charge of making their own social behavior up ?
The media aren't elected servants? |
|
By:
And elected servants can't go making their own rules up either
So why are the media dictating social norms? Questions Questions thou shall never be asked |

By:
And if such questions arise
Oh look Donald Trump is in trouble in the Russia probe again... |
