There must be something wrong with me – I usually ignore advertising, and can’t think of a single time I was influenced to do something because of it.
An ad that claims “everyone’s a winner” in a casino has to be seen for what it is.

This is gonna get interesting. Is all gambling attacked by lawsuits or just casinos? The horse-racing industry is being undermined by casinos and video-slots. Is horse-racing a "victim" in this, or included as part of the gambling problem? Hmmm.

Yep, everyone's a victim...losers....

That's what the tobacco advertisers thought. It doesn't work that way in government land. The casinos need to play by the rules.

No, you sir are a twit. If you had 10 lifetimes I doubt you could do a 10th as much good for this world as Dr. Dobson has done with his life. You insult not only him but me and every person who appreciates his work.

Thank Heavens for men like Dr. James Dobson.........because gambling is an evil, insidious industry.
To ignore its problems is folly.

What other people choose to do with their own money is absolutely no concern to me.

Didn't his version of trusted Ed McMahon-like co-host get fired because of some sex scandal? A cheap shot perhaps to bring this up but it seems entirely just in this case.

[Austin Willard Wright]

If gambling is so evil, then don't do it. The dice doesn't jump into people's hands through its own volition. Do you also have the same view of guns?

Ban Free Will!

Your are absolutely right on !! Thank God for Dr. Dobson. I wish we had more people of his character and common sense.

Yup. That's what a lot of people are saying about the stock market these days.....

I thought you would side with the trial lawyers on this one.:)

No matter what happens in the casino, at least you get some free drinks and free cigarettes.
