If a man killes another with a gun than can be bought cheap without any special requirements...whose fault is it?

[Ashu]

US and some EU legislations say you'r wrong and that its the company...free will to the extent of having temptation in your face so much?

about gambling. It is okay provided you do not be stupid and bet your life away. A small bet is good provided it wont **Filtered** up your life. for example, betting on a soccer match's outcome say £5 a week, it won't kill you and could make you some money to spend on booze. but spendin £5 one week, then £10 the next and increasingly like that is where u become addicted. it is like anything, you get the feel for it and cannot give it up, that's when it is a problem(alot like this game)

I disagree with the opinion that gambing is wrong, I am heavily into medium stakes poker and i make a heathy living at it

Now i have played for many years and have learnrd a few hard lessons through gambling when i was younger so im not saying that gambling is a good thing im saying that if you know how to do it without blowing the rent money it cant be a finacially benefical pastime

Im at the stage where my online earning rival my RL earning in only 2 years because im not silly with my money

As a gambler my opinion has been if you cant afford it then you cant do it

There is a fine line between when and if gambling is 'wrong'.


If it is used for entertainment, and the person can afford it, there is nothing wrong.

Say the example of watching a film. If you rather spend say $50 a week on gambling than watching a film or getting tickets to watch a play or something. I do not see how it is wrong.

However, if it becomes an addiction it can be seen as 'wrong'. If you must gamble or you take away from what you need, i.e. Using food money or money used to pay off a loan or rent, it becomes a serious problem.

As for fault... If we look at it, it is both parties are to blame.

Perhaps the more on the consumer side.

Yes, if such a prospect wasn't provided, the consumer would of not been tempted, however, it is ultimately up to the power of choice. i.e the Consumer can make the choice at the end of the day.
