In the land of the Indian, no pun intended, their are Jdubs who think it okay to support the local Casino whether via the Restaurant or the slots or even bingo. The spin I got from some of them on it, was that they were going out to have a good time and spending $20 to $40 on the slots that they were going to spend any way was not in and of itself gambling. The preponderance of jdubs using the Casino restaurants is spun out in the same way, just an evening out. Now for me i think it be hypocrisy, how about your thoughts. Fred you don't need to apply if i need to read anything of you wit I will go to the local bus station and read the stalls. Buff

Buff, while I agree that the excuse for gambling is hypocritical, I am less certain about the Casino restaurants. After all, using the Casino restaurant is not actually gambling. Also, it is possible that using other restaurants could actually be, unknowingly, aiding someone or something of which we disapprove, maybe criminal activity, for example.

Esther, hi I agree in part, but when supporting something i.e. like gambling by going to Casino restaurants, i'm just parroting words i've heard over time. You can't enter into a raffle because it is gambling. etc. etc. etc. I actually have no problem with either moderate gambling or eating at restaurants, but don't you just love it when others *jdubs* speak ill of those who do, and you know the elders want to get em for gambling. appreciate your post and we will see you next hand.
