US woman sues casino that 'offered dinner instead of $43m jackpot'

[s0me0nesmind1]

All gambling without equal odds for all players should be punishable by death. Gambling is an addiction and nobody should ever be allowed to profit from other people's mental illness that does not evolve best science understood treatment. Gambling ruins the lives of countless children and nobody who profits from the addiction of gamblers doesn't know this. They deserve death for what they will do to kids and no society should allow this crime to exist.

Yeah, I guess we better outlaw beer, wine, and liquor. Someone might abuse it.

Let's outlaw smoking (Cigars + ciggs + weed) - someone might abuse it.
Let's outlaw driving - ESPECIALLY motorcycles, it has resulted in countless deaths of young and innocent lives.
Let's outlaw all prescription drugs - because someone might abuse them.
Let's outlaw 2-story or higher buildings, bridges, ropes, etc.. - they might be abused for attempted suicide
Let's outlaw porn and prostitution - someone might abuse them!
Let's outlaw the internet - because kids are getting addicted to it with social media!


There is no such thing as "equal odds" gambling, by the way. Well, maybe slot machines I guess - since it's all algorithm based.


Do you understand yet how incompetently stupid you have to be to suggest something so asinine that things should be outlawed or that someone should die because it could ruin someone else's life?

Let's outlaw ANYTHING that is remotely close to fun - because SOME people that can't accomplish basic human thoughts of self-control will abuse it. That's a fucking grand-idea.

Bother is going the wrong direction, I find it hilarious. Someone pops into a thread and says enablers should be killed and then the 80% of the conversation rotates to the new subject. Yet no one except one person, from what I can tell, is saying WTF on Mr. Looney Tunes over here.

I should start a thread on sugar that way he can pop in and say all the enablers in the food industry should be murdered because obesity kills like 300k people each year in the US. Imagine how many families are destroyed by that. I could post 2 Rambos then.

Ever wonder how the Mormon Church got so rich?

Death to sugar salesmen......not a bad idea. You know it’s 300 thousand a year. I didn’t know that. But I can see why you’re pissed. What’s the story? Are you a sugar seller, a carb addict, or lost someone you love?

How is it that you can put your own opinions of protecting your right to do things you call fun above the lives of all those who aren’t able themselves to pursue such fun responsibly? How did your needs become so important to you? Aren’t you really a person who suffers profoundly from guilt? How dare anybody suggest to you that what really motivates you is that you are a selfish pig? You do see, do you not, that you are a pig?

All I had to do is suggest that somebody deserves to die for being a selfish pig, for you to project that it was you being accused. My incompetent stupidity happens because I know who you are by knowing me. What solutions to the ills of the world can you offer if you don’t know that? Nobody can be blamed for anything at all who sleep. But it is in our sleep we do all the damage.

The war between liberals exist in part because liberals are too permissive and conservatives too strict. Where are you with that? Who do you blame? I bet it isn’t yourself, the one responsible for shifting blame. I take blame for a sense that what is important to understand about gambling isn’t what to do about a machine error.

Hey congratulations and good work man.
Don’t be offended if you ever catch me saying addicts have defective thinking. Not meant to be an insult, meant to be an observation in a loving sort of way. Difficult to watch someone important to you continually make the wrong decisions.

Nope don't take that as an insult we do have defective thinking no one elses fault though. Everyones addicted to something, pop, food, sex, tobacco whatever I don't know anyone without a guilty pleasure of some sort. Some of us are just the type to always push things farther, I'm the kinda of person that in high school when my friends are saying im bored what are we gonna do today, I'm like lets try smoking crack, they're like where are we going to find crack, I'm like ain't it sold on street corners downtown. So off we went to score crack off a street corner, that was just my mentality it wasn't just about the drugs but the rush of pulling up on some street corner with 10 thugs standing there.

Thanks for your anecdote, again. But try not to assume you're the rule, and discount others inability to self regulate. For every one of you, there's thousands of others who can't.

Thats some facist thinking right there thinking you know whats best for people, thinking they can't make they're own decisions or provide for themselves. You think your're so special that your so much better than all these people. Your not we're all the same, some people would just rather do drugs and thats ok.

Wowsers, you just assume all sorts of stuff and totally misrepresent what I said to the point it's barely even a strawman, cuz it's more like you can't read.

I'm going off all your posts, you think everyones a delicate flower and they have to be taken care of with free money and hand holding that people can't think for themselves. You think I'm one in a million getting off dope and starting a business like no one else could possibly do it life is just too god damn hard and they aren't capable. From everyone you don't believe in fuck you.

Oh to go back to the time I thought a person couldn't truly believe in 2 things which are completely incompatible with each other at the same time (much less recognize it within themselves). The easier solution is to read @Moonbeam 's signature.

It is called ideological subversion and it is by design and it takes decades to accomplish that is why it is missed by many
,
the liberals and academia were brainwashed first, corrupt the gate keepers first, and like a well set forest fire it becomes self fueling and the original fire starter is no longer needed.

What is ideological subversion you may ask

"What it basically means is: to change the perception of reality of every American to such an extent that despite of the abundance of information no one is able to come to sensible conclusions in the interest of defending themselves, their families, their community, and their country."

"They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You can not change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior."

Thanks for proving what I said. You're making assumptions and jumping to conclusions. At the same time, you use an anecdote to try and say everyone can do what you have. This is a basic logical fallacy type of argument.

And FWIW, even your strawman description of my stance doesn't qualify as fascism

It's the soft bigotry of low expectations. Just the general thought patterns that because they supposedly "care" about people suffering, they clearly insinuate that they need their white knight help in order to get out of it. There is no other way to get them clean without their assistance.


The reality is clearly the opposite. No amount of government provided fresh needles is going to get someone to do the work of coming clean.

Those fresh gub'mint needles may keep that individual from ending up infected with a disease, or infecting someone else with disease.

Also: liberals are the real racists!

Keep on keepin' on, clown.

 

[brycejones]

It’s about harm reduction. Reducing the spread of disease caused by needle sharing. Which has a not insignificant cost to society. Getting clean is something the individual has to decide to do on their own.

Only an abject moron would think needle exchange programs were intended to do the work for people wanting to get clean.

 

[Moonbeam]

Only an abject moron would think needle exchange programs were intended to do the work for people wanting to get clean.

The only reason his thinking is abjectly moronic is that his need to deny reality is desperately vital to maintaining the positive self image he has erected to paper over how worthless he was made to feel. The conservative brain is motivated to deny any reality that threatens their fragile egos. That fragility manifests as a capacity to believe anything that flatters them. It stems from having been conditioned to feel that self worth is had by worldly success, having money, social standing, power, religious worthiness and moral superiority, etc. Conservatives are the worlds biggest phonies and enable denial by an astounding lack of self awareness. Their comic value Is rich, however, so seemingly self assured and so transparent. Their hatred is of humility, because they were humiliated if they showed any sign of it. They see it as weakness.
