if gambling do influence the life of one family,I think it's a sin..and legally,it's not defined as the crimial behavior now
Azazel
but it is sin
right?
not a good habit
minamja
yes, when it affects a normal life, it could be a sin. But for some people, gambling is their lives...
It's normal to them...
Azazel
so they are gamblers
Tony
it depends on how the law prescribes it
Ｈunk
Tony is right..the civil law has specific definition to the gambling...
Azazel
i don't like gambling
i hate gambling ,especially, majiang
hehe
Ｌｏｉｒ
whether the gambling is a sin or not depends on how we define it!
Tony
gambling is legitimate in some countries and areas...
daisy
legitimate ??maybe
Ｈunk
In Macao
Minamja
Macau
Tony
yeah, it attracts guys from elsewhere of the world to get there...
minamja
The govt tax the income from the casino. The attracted crowd also help to boost other retail businesses.
Tony
also Monte carlo of Monaco
Tony
yeah, also do good for tour industry there
minamja
For certain countries, the govt impose the rule that only foreigners are allowed to go into the casino, e.g. Korea.
Aisy
you know about it ,,you like it ??minamja??
Tony
u mean N.K?
minamja
SK
minamja
or they will make the local residents more difficult to go in.
Ｈunk
and also N.K...
minamja
e.g. in SG, in the future casino, the locals have to pay S$100 per day per entry.
Tony
yep...it is good for locals....
they would never lose money...
minamja
Put it this way... for a gambler, $100 is nothing. If he wants to go in, he will borrow the money to pay the entrance fee and the bet.
To me, it's just a trick for the govt to suck the blood of the locals.
Tony
en, sounds reasonable...better ban locals to gamble
thus they would never lose money....to protect the profits they got from pouring back to casinoes,,
Ｈunk
If the riding gamlbing is legal in the mainland...that will become a good source of financial income
Tony
yeah...but also it would be a disaster to those peasants
Ｈunk
I didn't eat any thing this morning,I must say bye to you guys,Minamja,and Tony,see ya,Tony,how come do you think it would be a disaster to those countryside people?
Tony
that had been demonstrated...Hunk
Ｈunk
demonstrated for what?
Tony
i know the situation in some counties of south china
peasants there r hooked to gamble on so called LI HEI CAI...most of them lost all their money....
Ｈunk
Liu He Cai?
Tony
六合彩 in chinese..
Tony
A game originated from HK
Ｈunk
I see...pls don't speak chinese here,I understand you...
Tony
ok...i got it
i would definitely follow the rule
Ｈunk
Bcoz it's illegal in the mainland,and many people can't get the money when they hit it...
Tony
if it was declared legal in mainland, more and more peasants would " invest" their money in it, but as a result, they would never got the money back
to some extent, u r right...but most of guys lost their money
it cant benefit the majority of the population....
Ｈunk
If it's legal in the mainland,I think they can get the money,but they must also pay one quarter of money to the government as the tax
20%
Tony
u can take it as a way to relax yourself, but if u focus on it, u definitely would lose your money
it cant benefit the majority of the population.....thats my view...
but those poor peasants cant see the truth under the tricks...they r crazy on it...it can be a big problem, if most of the peasants lost up all their money....
Ｈunk
Tony...Any gamblers won't stop if they win and even they lose,they would pay much more money for bigger benefit..most people are just the same when they are involved in the gambling...
Tony
imposing tax on it? the government cant get much from it...most of the profits go to the pockets of the owner of casinoes....
yeah, thats why i think gambling cant be declared legal in mainland...
Ｈunk
I got to go now...see you later much hungry now
Tony
ok...enjoy ur lunch, see ya |
