Question by paulywog: Gambling casinos have their own police force isn`t this unconstituional and un-american?
I mean where do they get gaul to do this?If every ceo had his own police this would be mini police states that go with their own laws.The casinos CHEAT ALL THE TIME AND THEY CALL YOU A CHEATER IF YOU TRY TO INFRINGE ON THEIR BILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS.GAMBLING IS TAKING AWAY MONEY FROM HARD WORKING FAMILIES WHO HAVE AN ADDICTIVE HABBIT CALLED “GAMBLING.” IT`S A LEGAL DRUG LIKE CIGARETTES AND THEIR GETTING AWAY WITH IT LIKE MURDER.NOONE SHOULD HAVE TO GO AWAY TO PRISON FOR 20 YEARS FOR CHEATING AT CASINOS.IT SHOULD BE A SIMPLE MISTAMEADOR.IN FACT THEY SHOULD LET THEM ALL OUT OF PRISON TO SAVE THE TAXPAYERS MONEY,AND KEEP THE REAL OFFENDERS LIKE MURDERERS AND CRIMINALS IN.IN MY HOMETOWN CASINOS ARE MOVING IN AND BUSINESSES ARE MOVING OUT.ARE PEOPLE JUST LOSING IT????GAMBLING IS NOT THE ANSWER;MAKING IT EASIER FOR NEW BUSINESSES ARE;TO PROTECT THEM FROM RED TAPE AND BEURACRACY AND TAX LAWS.

Well colleges often have their own police force too, is that unconstitutional and un-American?

I don’t know why you are acting surprised that multi billion dollar corporations are afforded such unbelievable rights. Have you seen a movie lately? $ 250,000 fine and five years in federal prison for making a copy of it.

California just changed the law in the past couple of years so that if you are caught with a camcorder in a movie theater you face a stiffer penalty than if you rape a women in the same theater.

In America big business is king, they do whatever they like because they own all the politicians. In order to run for office you need to have various corporations bribe you with a ‘donation.’ Once you are elected you have to repay these bribes by voting a certain way, as opposed to doing the right thing.

America is all about capitalism, your comments about gambling are just one example of how businesses treat the little people and are allowed to get away with it.

All that said I think you clearly have an unreasonable beef with casinos. They don’t cheat people, they simply stack the odds in their favor. Anyone that plays is fully aware of these odds, and so plays at their own risk.

Because God said so.

Well, you did ask in the Religion section, so I figure you must be looking for that kind of answer.
