Gambling discussion / Re: should gambling be completely banned?
« on: April 17, 2024, 03:44:55 PM »Exactly. And one more thing is that governments earn huge taxes from gambling aside from cigarrettes and liquors. This is I think based on personal choice since we are already old enough for that thing then it's always our decision to take part in gambling and governments don't care how you treat gambling yourself. You jump into it then you should be responsible to jump out from it if something bad is happening like addiction. Though governments should implement a much more strict regulations into it so minors won't be jumping in as well.Actually, based on the level gambling is going these days, on my own opinion, it should be banned. Reason being is, Student in college are no longer focus in studying because of gambling.Gambling cannot be blamed as the only reason why there is a decline in the focus of students on their studies. There are many distractions these days on the Internet and not just gambling. I think the biggest distractions are from social media.It has disintegrate families and relationships in the society, so to me the disadvantage of gambling in the society is more than the advantage it gives to the society,based on that,it should be banned that's my opinion.There are still many positive stories about gambling, and other gamblers who gamble are gambling responsibly and for fun. Gambling should not be banned, but rather the government can invest in promoting responsible gambling and prevention of underaged gambling.
If gambling was a threat like it is really described in media, then it will be banned for a long time ago. People on the government level arent that dumb. I think that problem of gambling addiction exist, but it is not as huge as described. Banning gambling only because 1 our of 10000 gamblers isnt able to control himself? That is just statistical error. Look on how refreshment drinks with its load of sugar harm society. They are much bigger threat but nobody seems to ban it.
