Message: <blockquote data-quote="gst" data-source="post: 159771" data-attributes="member: 373">Most small towns have pull tabs and possibly a black jack table if they can still generate enough to pay dealers. They lose a portion of the gamblers to the casinos we already have. Those casinos are going to be X miles from these small towns. If the state comes in and builds 6 across the state, unless they build them on top of the Indian casinos it will cut the distance those that gamble have to drive to do so.  THAT is what will increase the loss of gambling revenues by a percentage in these small towns. But then only having sat on two boards of entities that generated revenues from small town gambling I likely don;t know nearly as much about this as you do Mr. Nelson- - - Updated - - - Holy Mr Nelson, ya gotta let go of the hate this personal stuff is rather childish. Okay, okay.....it is hard to tell a wolf from a dog and corporations can;t own land in ND and you are by far the smartest fella on here. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" />So you are saying "coke"/cocaine is legal in this country........because I am pretty sure everyone here knew that is what I was talking about in a drug based reference. But you see this nation did not let it remain legal did it..........why do you suppose that was oh great Karnak the Magnificent? Name the completely Libertarian based nations that have no laws regulating personal choices that have stood the test of time for several centuries.  Really Dean, let go of the hate.- - - Updated - - - Had a pretty good argument with one that was stupid enough to get her head stuck in a gate today. You made a statement about bubble wrapping laws. It is simply my opinion that seems to fit with history that when societies begin opening up their tolerances and accepting things that they know have negative consequences, the costs begin to outweigh the value. I know a few on here hate the word incrementalism, but it is a reality of virtually every civilizations down fall. That goes to the core reason the people of this state have opposed casinos thus far, gay marriage, recreational pot.........20 years ago if you told someone in 20 years gay marriage will be legal in ND we will be smoking pot legally and the state will be arguing to build casinos around the state you would have gotten a response similar to Deans little rant. Yet in 20 years here we are. So where will we be in another 20 years if we keep up this pace of "tolerance"?</blockquote>
