| schestowitz | Casinos often prey on those who cannot figure out odds and have them intoxicated to further blue judgment | Feb 22 16:52 |
| MinceR | i'm not sure whose fault that is | Feb 22 16:54 |
| schestowitz | I think the government does need to protect the public in same cases | Feb 22 17:01 |
| schestowitz | The UK has the ASA | Feb 22 17:01 |
| schestowitz | You might say companies can advertise anything they wish | Feb 22 17:01 |
| schestowitz | But reservations are often in society's interest | Feb 22 17:01 |
| MinceR | so they need warning labels | Feb 22 17:08 |
