Don't act like someone's being a smug pratt Bono campaigner for advocating for their sense of morality over a specific issue. This is a democracy. It's their job.
Especially don't write them off just because they're not necessarily militant about boycotting everything. Wouldn't that make them...
If you're saying that because you haven't succeeded in totally avoiding the consumption of any ultimately exploitative products then you have no business attempting to advocate for your sense of morality, then I have a deep philosophical problem with that.
But that's not what you've saying is it?
Fair enough. Missed most of the year to tapatalk failure, so I wouldn't know.
Just out of curiosity though, what percentage of the other contenders are Injectiondon related?
I dunno. Given the thread thus far, how important is the finish to the result of toty, really?
How big would Mofra's choke have to be to drop this one?
The problem certainly exists for some people. But the unaffected body is not equipt to distinguish those people from the rest, and nor should it be empowered to impose is will upon the rest for the sake of the afflicted. It's role should be to provide help for those who seek it, and to educate...
We don't. Unions do. An unaffected body swooping down to save pokie patrons/victims from themselves is not going to perform the same function. There is support for problem gamblers already out there, the problem is that they have to identify themselves.
You can't help them do that.
They are proven human nature. That's capitalism. Nobody is supposed to be guaranteed protection from themselves. I don't really think that would be ideal anyway, in the big picture.
Pokies create temptation for people. That is their only discernable product. Try your luck. Spend a little money to see if you can be the one to beat the odds. It is sad that this temptation becomes a problem for some people, but creating the temptation is not the same as creating the...
Yep. And as long as punters are given an accurate idea of the odds and are of age, they can do what they like. The mandate of the machine makers is to be as profitable as possible. That requires attracting customers. Just because the service they provide is unfathomable to most people...
Ffs. Pokies are a dumb way to gamble, but it's not a scam. Everyone knows what the odds are. Nobody is being lied to, much less stolen from. If a pensioner wants to spend their money at the pokies, is not necessarily because they think they're about to strike it rich. Stop being so patronizing.
