#005: Child Casino Shock Issue could use a third option

Postby Meisterlund » Tue Apr 22, 2014 9:43 pm

Hi, I'm new here and not sure if I am going about this the right way but I feel that this issue could use a 3rd option and maybe even 4th option as the two that are offered are really limited to two extreme solutions with no possibility of having a realistic casino system as in most real nations.

I was thinking choosing option 3 (below) allows casinos to operate and stimulates economy and tourism while keeping kiddies safe so a middle of the ground approach.

and Option 4's (below) result is a middle ground between extreme liberalism and centrist.

#005: Child Casino Shock

The Issue
Children as young as eight have been spotted gambling in some of @@NAME@@'s seedier casinos.

The Debate
1. Social activist @@RANDOMNAME@@ is outraged. "Gambling needs to be outlawed immediately. It's no wonder children are becoming sucked into the vice, with adults setting such a poor example. Gambling is a stain on @@NAME@@'s international reputation and it must be stopped!"

2. However, Crown Casino chairperson @@RANDOMNAME@@ says, "What's wrong with children gambling? It prepares them for the realities of life, teaching them that success or failure is not due to hard work or intelligence, but the roll of the dice. Besides, if kids weren't gambling, they'd be spraypainting trains."

3. The average citizen says "What can't the @@NAME@@'s casinos just be better regulated and restrict entry to over 18's, that way we all win!"

4. Freedom with Responsibility Spokeswoman @@RANDOMNAME@@ suggests "Well it's silly isn't it, children shouldn't be gambling at all, unless there is a parent or adult family member present at all times! That is the answer".

Unfortunately we won't really be considering any new options to that issue. It's one of the few original issues written by Max Barry, so we generally operate on the assumption that he's happy with it and doesn't want any changes.
