No Oppo Supporters Hawks and Pokies

[Milkshaker]

Pokies are deliberately designed to be addictive and deliberately placed into areas of low socioeconomic conditions.
Designed.
This is not an accident.

You have posted this before. Most in Tassie are in existing venues (pubs, Casinos). So your point falls down here in Tas. I can't speak for the mainland. However, the sporting clubs, pubs etc I have been to in NT, WA, VIC, NSW have not been placed there during the emergence of Pokies. I have not been to Caroline Springs. Is that a low socio-economic area?

However, the sporting clubs, pubs etc I have been to in NT, WA, VIC, NSW have not been placed there up during the emergence of Pokies. I have not been to Caroline Springs. Is that a low socio-economic area?

Definitely not
I lived in Caroline Springs recently and you have to be both rich and handsome to be able to buy a house there

Naturally Mr. Tyler and when Liv comes to visit the gorgeousness stakes, rise another notch.

I don't like the idea of Pokies in shopping centres as they are hard to avoid.

No issue when they are at the Casino or similar location separated from a shopping strip / shopping centre

If people want to gamble they'll do it somewhere, but temptation is stronger when it's harder to avoid

As soon as we can replace the revenue with something else we should, and we will.

is any gambling NOT addictive ?

Why do those with zero knowledge think their opinion carries weight?

Nobody knows what knowledge anyone has on this topic.
People can say whatever they want about their qualifications to speak on a topic and you can either believe them or not.

You're not going to change peoples minds on a topic by telling them to just shut up and accept that you are right.

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

Is anyone else claiming to have worked at a high level for one of the largest operators in the world? I am. I did.
Walking past an EGM doesnt cut the mustard.
I'm not asking others to shut up, just to admit that they have no actual knowledge .

Yeah you've been banging this drum for a while
we get it, you think you are the only person qualified to have an opinion on the topic
You only seem to bring that out when someone disagrees with you though

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

No one who has knowledge has disagreed with me. I repeat the truth as some seem unable to comprehend it.
Have you seen me react like this on any other thread?
Perhaps I'm aware of what i write about and get annoyed at defenders with nothing but misguided and unfounded opinions and hate.

[Sixpence]

Definitely not

The reality is a lot of people don't give a s**t if pokies or anything else are destroying lives because it isn't their life getting destroyed

They'd rather the Hawks were doing well than someone they've never met

You won't change that at all probably, but telling them you know better than them certainly won't change anything

It's unsubstantiated for starters

Cracked me up
Great comment

What is unsubstantiated?
Not much point even having a bigfooty site as everything on it is unsubstantiated.
Have you sent me a PM asking for private details?
Are you even a person or just part of a Turing test?

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

why did you work this organisation?

Why does anyone work? Money.
My views were informed by my experiences working there.
I left.

I will not even have to temporarily take him off ignore to know exactly who people are bashing their heads against a brick wall trying to get a different point of view across to him.

I bet it’s Mr “I am an expert” also known as Mr “my 3 sister in laws are also experts” who also goes with “I have worked in the industry and anyone who does not agree with me are wrong”

It’s tiresome.

 

[Brant]

When are people going to take responsibilities for their own actions.

Deal with people as individuals, based on their individual actions & hold them (individually) accountable?

Who we gonna protest against?

 

[marklar]

I've disagreed with you plenty and I've got 30 years experience with the industry. I've also given up listening to you as you seem to not listen to anyone else's experience or opinions.

 

[Tassie Cryptik]

I dont think ive seen one post from you.
Did you work at the venue or
The operator level?
PS i worked for an operator.
I listen to experience and knowledge, unfounded opinions not so much.
PPS there is an ignore button.

You are just too good aren’t you ?
You are well above the rest of us.

Given both your usernames they could quite possibly be south east of you
