We, as a “christian nation”, allow casinos and gambling in our hotels already, which proves us all to be “hypocrites” under the light of christianity. Government, get a backbone and legalize gambling! Obie Wilchcombe, you don’t have to worry about your seat in the next election, so you should stand up and get this legalization going. Then, depending on the next election, you’ll have two booming industries under your belt (Tourism and Gaming) because offshore gambling can bring in hundreds of millions of dollars into this country. Imagine people from all over the world pumping money into this country through the Internet! Let dem gamble here when dey reach in The Bahamas and then we lock em in to gamble online in Bahamian Cyber Casinoes before dey head back home. Wilchcombe, are you listening? PLP are ya’ll listening? If not, where da FNM is? The Bahamas economy needs a financial boost and legalizing gambling opens the door, but ya’ll worried about the religious implications? Please… |
Yorick, you missed the point here…
the point was not whether to legalize gambling…Start another thread on that…the point here is that a buisness, industry is being operated illegally, right in front of the police and government officials and nothing is being done about it. The point here is that the illegal web cafes has spurred on a way of thinking. The illegal dvd ‘entrepreniggas’ now cite that since they ain’t doing nothing ’bout da gambling houses, dey need to leave us alone!’ The strippers are using that same excuse and so on.
We are breeding a culture of dishonesty, where numbermen pay off politicians and police. We are breeding a culture where churches are built on illegal money that was prayed over. We are breeding a culture where children want to be numbermen/women instead of farmers and doctors. We are breeding a culture of hustlers and beggers and it seems as if nobody cares. The issue of whether to legalize gambling is not the issue here; the issue is that we as a nation is corrupt and rotten to the core!
