[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 557619, member: 13882"] Hi Su, That's an interesting post. I don't know about gambling from my family's experience, but I can see how the glamour of it, the escape and the excitement and "high" of it would certainly tempt someone, particularly young people. IME, I equate it with the glamourizing of drinking we see here in US. The people in the commercials look gorgeous, popular, confident, stylish and somewhat irreverent. You never see them puking in the gutter, losing their jobs, looking dissheveled, etc.! [/QUOTE]
