That topic is a stretch. Sure, gambling addiction can cause all sorts of problems in behavior, but so can every other addiction so my first thought when i see violence and anger wouldn't be that they must be gambling.

What you are talking about is an addiction. And there are ways to combat that. Persons who are more susceptible to addictions shouldn't try to gamble without an exit plan. Sadly people with problems rarely admit that they have a problem and usually they need to hear that from someone else before they spend all of their money. I am glad that you have found the negative aspects of it, but i don't see preventing others to gamble being a viable, or any kind of solution. To most of us it's just fun pastime.
