ok you are connecting what I wrote about addiction with "banning" of VLT's.
The thread is/was about VLT's. If addictive behaviours are connected to other problems, then how is access to VLT's the cause of addictions? What about those other "problems?" Also, VLT's are already controlled, except when they are illegally distributed.
Again, VLT's are a game of chance like other forms of gambling. If a person bets on a sport, or plays poker or bets on horses, they are playing a game of chance. Some people will become "addicted" to these games. How do we ban them all to protect those potential "victims?" Or do we rely on individuals to make choices for themselves?
Fine, blaming the "victim" does not do anything helpful, but who exactly is victimizing these individuals when they are making a choice to play the game in the first place?
