FAMILIES AGAINST the CASINO THREAT in SINGAPORE

i don't have the time to really say what i want to say. but put simply:
do all children in Las Vegas grow up learning that it is OK to gamble? don't blame the effects of poor parenting on environmental variables that, frankly, have little effect on how your kid is brought up. where in the world can children be brought up without temptations and threats? the greater issue is making sure your kid is in a place where he doesn't feel the need, want or desire to give in to temptation or yield to threats. if you feel so strongly about having a casino in your backyard, move. it can't be helped if you can't parent, or your kids decide that you can't parent, no matter where you live, and whether there's a casino next door.
take charge of your children and your families. don't use a weak excuse like this for the downfall of your sad society. singapore and singaporeans may just be one big flock of sheep and herd of cattle, but to say that dropping a casino here is the apocalypse for us all is ludricrious. we are a nation with ever-populated Singapore Pools outlets, Turf Club booths and Star Cruises ships with casinos in them. what difference will this really make?
