If we're going to convince voters, or decision-makers that online gaming should be regulated, we have to properly state what the anti-gambling position is so we can refute it. To show that it's "rhetoric" that shouldn't be shoved down our throats, we have to acknowledge what's correct in what they're saying, and expose what isn't. Name calling doesn't do that. Pointing this out doesn't mean I believe the full scope of the rhetoric, or that I'm supporting that side of the argument.
Why is it this site's job to convince voters and decision makers of anything? The articles on this site are 2 fold - opinion pieces and to try and provide information to the readers. Just because I don't agree with a position of the government or anyone for that instance doesn't make it infactual. The government has said that they believe organized crime is a concern with regards to online gambling and I'm saying prove it. If organized crime at online casinos is truly a concern then let's see them arrest someone from the Cleveland Mob or the Sicilian Mafia or .. Don't arrest Jay Cohen and say it's proof that organized crime is a concern for online gambling.  |
