why would they want the competition?

why would they want the competition?

Because they believe in small government and personal responsibility, and believe the government should stay out of our lives and allow us to spend our money as we wish? lol!

lol yeah, wishful thinking. Fact is, if people can't go online to gamble, they will go to the casinos to lose their money. Those casinos seem to be concentrated in Nevada. The more people go to casinos in Nevada, the more money flows in to that state and the more money flows in to the hands of those who equate personal responsibility with paying their bills and actually having money to spend.

Sure we all know that getting government out of the way will encourage online gambling and thus discourage people from putting gas in their tanks to go to the casinos, or flying in to Vegas to gamble. I don't see that as a recipe for convincing people who rely on brick and mortar casinos jumping up and down at the chance to drive a nail in to the coffin of casual gambling at ritzy hotel and casino establishments.

I ain't saying it's right, but I also ain't surprised that removing online prohibition doesn't play well in the physical location gambling mecca of the world.

Yeah, although I guess it depends on the game. I love blackjack. I would never play that online. Plus the atmosphere at the casino is one of the big reasons why I like to go.

I don't disagree, just trying to keep things in perspective. I have been to more than a few casinos in different states. Let me tell you, the smell, sounds, and visuals are the way they are for a reason. It zombifies people lol. Casinos have invested a large amount of their capital in to creating that environment by researching how to mentally trap people.

Also, consider that a good reason to stay home and gamble as well. You control the atmosphere in your home. Anyways, I don't like government prohibition, but in reality, even the most hard core liberty activist has some bias when it comes to what impacts them directly.

One big area I think about is higher education. How many of those college kids at Ron Paul rallies have student loans? If those kids stuck to their principles, then next semester, they'd find a way to fund their own education rather than contribute to the massive debt and fraud that is higher education financing. How many of them will do that?

I also think about the military support. How many of those soldiers supporting Ron Paul will refuse an order to support imperialism based on principle?

It's crazy to consider how deeply entrenched government is in most of our lives. My brother is a Ron Paul supporter. He has a mental handicap and is on permanent disability. One of the few people and examples I know that probably deserves that support. But at the expense of others? At the expense of forcing you to give up part of your income? He, our family and I know that Ron Paul's policies, if fully implemented would cause that permanent disability to be a huge financial burden to our family.

How quickly and I willing to give that up? I think about this constantly. I don't want you to suffer to support my family. I also have no idea how my family would survive in the CURRENT circumstance without that money.

Yup, I hear ya. I got my bachelor's degree with government help. Most of it was free money I didn't even have to pay back. It was before I became a libertarian, but I still don't consider it hypocritical though. They made education expensive. It's pretty much the only way most people can go to college now. Refusing government help might mean not getting a degree at all, and letting other people benefit from money that we are putting into the system.

Look at what the internet has done to retail book shops, video stores etc. Casinos are worried. Much of Las Vegas makes most of its money from China operations.
