News Forum - Bets off: Phuket residents roll the dice against casino plan
Exactly - some are well meaning ignorants, but most are being 'encouraged' by those with vested interests to protest. We can expect more of this all over Thailand. Look for people with Chinese backgrounds in their appearance - it is the Chinese syndicates/families that largely control the illegal gambling in Thailand. They way I see such protests is this. Multiply the number protesting by 10 - and then compare that to the number of total people - clearly the majority support the casino. That is the thing - people dont protest and march in public for what they support (very often). -

News Forum - Bets off: Phuket residents roll the dice against casino plan
I've always been repulsed by gambling... not out some moral virtue or altruism, rather an intuitive understanding that someone is out to rip me off for a cheap thrill. I understand many are entranced by it... maybe, a deep seeded need to beat the odds? A challenge they are willing to take on? I suppose it's much like drugs and alcohol, you enjoy that dopamine hit? The satisfaction of beating the odds... the financial reward? It is fun to watch the moral juggling act in all of the discussions for or against... I'm an anarchist at heart, I say legalize it all... nature will eventually sort it all out. Maybe the Chinese approach is best... locate them as Floating Casino vessels out off shore... or small islands maybe... sure would add to the exclusivity and mystic of it all?... containing any resulting madness off shore... Lol. -
