While researching for my E-lang Argumentation Discourse class debate on gambling, I chanced upon the Singapore Pools' website, which had a line that read:
"Betting should be fun. It should be under your control. Do not let it control you or your life instead.
Be A Winner ! Play Responsibly !"
My eyes almost popped out of their sockets. Although it was already 12.20am, trust me, I was wide awake instantly.
Seriously, who are they trying to kid?! And since when was betting "fun". And, may I add, not only is it "fun", it "should be fun". If it isn't, something's wrong! *alarm bells ring*
I shall not attempt to launch into the vices of gambling, much less, the legalization of gambling.
It is a sad mis-fact of life that one should resort to gambling for a dose of "fun".
What's more appalling is that one is encouraged by a government-backed company, to bet.
The governement is in place to protect it's people (see Romans 13). Do pray that it will continue to do so.
