To the country where gambling is banned: their government uses excuses like gambling promoting crime and overspending by their citizens or because it's against their majority religion beliefs, which shouldn't be so.
Everyone is supposed to be given free will to decide how they want to use their money, and if possible, an agency should be set up to monitor citizens' gambling habits. Rather than banning it, they don't know that the more you try to obstruct things, that's how the citizens will look for possible ways to satisfy themselves.
Exactly, and for me those are excuses, I say something, we all deserve to have fun as we want as long as we don't hurt anyone, if that's the case for me it's healthy to have fun, something that I don't see as necessary for a government to prohibit gambling, because it doesn't cause any kind of impact , on the contrary it creates unemployment, there are no longer work models that companies have , they create an unhappy population in many ways, addicts are another issue, it's not the casinos' fault.
You've a point here but only if a person can balance both emotions and finances possible that it can't harmed anything, though like that excuses from the government they use it as they've seen possibilities that there might be more countrymen that can go deep and become addicted, chances that their officials don't want to see their citizens to suffer as gambling is a risky activities that can ruined a person futures.
