People who are on the side of criticism, and using their money for other purposes, still fun but no potential of them to make money from it could be said to be the ones making the financial mistake. What do you think?
That's another story and other problems, you cannot make a comparison between gambling and other perceptions, for me it is a wrong understanding.
Indeed, many people spend their money on vacation, of course they are Spending large amounts of money, hotels, transportation, eating and so on, but it is part of life, life is enjoyed while you have financial, it is part of another pleasure that must be fulfilled by every human being who is financially more.
While what gambling you do is solely a game, where you can lose and win, gambling is not part of human life that must be fulfilled financially, you do gambling means doing a game that you don't know about the results.
Gambling with other activities of two different things, even though the two are required to spend money. If you compare the equality of day and night, destruction for humans.
The thing there is that, life has given each and everyone of us a privilege of making choices and everyone have their choice in life. As long as someone is dependent on their self financially, they have every right to do with their money what ever they deserve and desire. I think there should be no criticism on people who are doing what they like, as long as what they are doing does not harm the next person it's cool to enjoy their life. But, we really can not stop many people from criticizing and all we can do is pay a deaf ear to them.
