Singapore Pools looking to start licensed gambling website

babe 

This is a better way to tackle online gambling - by a controlled environment and prevent addiction.

Otherwise the Internet content filtering can be easily bypass with at least 6 technical loopholes. No need to elaborate how to do it - anyone who knows layer 1 to 7 can easily bypass it.

Just forgot something, if we reclassified OSI official classification of "Layer 1 - Physical Layer" to "Layer 1 - Physical Layer including non-real physical layer transmission medium" - even Layer 1 can also be used to breach the Internet content filtering ----- hee hee hee hee....

But i am against gambling.
I am for controlled gambling for those addicted and "die-die" must gamble.

Because by banning online gambling in Singapore - it will not stop gambling - it will cause people who are addicted, who die-die want to gamble to go underground (circumvent all controls) - and with no proper control - will be more damaging.

I think we can ban all vices :-
(1) Ban gambling
(2) Ban prostitution
(3) Ban smoking
(4) Ban alcohol
(5) Ban all vices etc

and operate like a religious institution - and keep it pure and clean.
But does it really work?

Innate self-discipline is the "best ban". 
Anything external - we can control it but will not be able to totally ban it - because people will go underground - and made control, regulation, management more difficult.

 babe  babe 

And when too many things are ban, investors, tourists, business etc don't come in - being a stifling places.

Then how to grow our service sectors and create more jobs?

We already have ample lottery outlets throughout the island. What more gambling means or methods do we need?

By your reasoning from the above, shouldn't the govt be running brothels and all brothels' clients can also be assured that they will not be prosecuted for visiting under-aged prostitutes and also we can ensure all earnings from the brothels will go to charity (and not to evil brothel operators)?

babe  Lee Liat Kuan 

Online gambling will harm all the young but tech savvy. All the internet content filtering can be bypass very easily.

I already say that are at least 6 to 7 technical loopholes that can bypass the control and render the control meaningless.

By bypassing the control and use overseas online gambling, there will be no proper social safeguard and these people will fall deeply into debts.

But if do it here, social safeguard, control, management etc are put in place to ensure these people don't fall deep into the gambling addiction.

Many study, experiences and expertise in such social behaviour are gathered over the years - and put in place a policy that have less ill social effect on our society.

Are you a specialist in this field, if not don't push your purist view - as though it is right for the society - but in fact cause more adverse consequences to those people that the society can help.

So should we ask the govt to run all the brothels and maybe KTV lounges in Singapore?

 babe  Lee Liat Kuan 

Assume ban all brothels.
Then gang go underground and run illegally.
Or these people visit all over the places - get AIDS, get HIV, get all type of flower disease and spread all over Singapore - are you going to answer?

These people who go underground will not go to test being illegal.
Then go to donate blood to test, you drink the blood and get HIV, then we all clap is it?

 

Lee Liat Kuan  babe 

Please lah, we are talking about online gambling, not gambling dens!

 babe  Lee Liat Kuan 

The content filtering are not foolproof and can be bypass easily. Put maciam dun put.

Lee Liat Kuan  babe 

How about letting our govt run all brothels in Singapore? Then they can control the types of prostitutes allowed (must be above 17 yo), how many times each man is allowed to visit the brothel a year, and we can make sure all the profits goes to the Community Chest of Singapore!

 

babe  Lee Liat Kuan 

Already know that all vices will go underground and then you got all sort of diseases and cannot control - and then it will spread all over the place.

You act as though like purist - but you don't know how a society should be run that will cause more social ills that affect the majority at large.

As long as you have self discipline - there is nothing to fear. If you have no self-discipline, even lock you up, you will break the lock and commit the vice - and worst go underground and let vices become uncontrollable and bring more adverse impact to the supposedly orderly society.

babe  Lee Liat Kuan  Once driven underground - all sorts of undesirable elements will come in - eg. triads, gangs, mafia to protect their lucrative business.
In the early days, before gambling are controlled, so many gangs are running this underground - you too young or naive to know is it?

 

Lee Liat Kuan  babe 

Did I say ban brothels? I asked you whether should our govt run brothels in Singapore?

 

babe  Lee Liat Kuan 

You are the one that ask the Gov to run brothels, I did not.

The Gov did not.

So now you agree to ban brothels is not a good idea?

Lee Liat Kuan  babe 

I have never talk about banning brothel, go read what I said. I also never ask the govt to run a brothel. 
But I asked whether if the govt should be running brothels? And you can't give me a simple answer!

Let me answer for you, the govt should not run a brothel and for the same reason(s) it should also not run a gambling website (and in the olden days a gambling den).

 

babe  Lee Liat Kuan 

You basically are naive purist. I tell you what, you go and run a religious institution - don't impose your purist views on others.

I am not for any vices - in fact i do not engage in any - not even a drop of liquor. But there is Wisdom how to do it and not bulldoze your purist way through - because you can't see the big picture.

You fail to understand 五浊是菩提。
You fail to understand :-
修心唯上乘。
修法唯中乘。
修戒唯下乘。

Your 修行 are superficial - only can see face value - but do not understand the true underlying values and insights

Talking to people who understand the superficial is the hardest - that is why such 修戒 is 下乘 - 不能举一反三。

Just like student memorizing and mugging facts - but cannot use effectively and apply it to resolve real issues.

You are like :-
死读书。
读死书。
读书死。
书读死。
Such quality - very difficult to get Enlightened and attained True Insights.

In other words - 难修大智慧。


babe  Lee Liat Kuan 

Now you want to talk vice right. I will talk vice with you :-

(1)   I bet you killed animal lives for food right? Killing is a vice, why did you kill for your food?

(2)   I bet you killed mosquitoes, ants and other insects right – killing is a vice, why did you kill? Isn’t it hypocrisy of preaching not committing vice, but yet you kill?

(3)   Did you trade in shares? Shares is a form of gambling what – when it will rise and when it will fall. Buy speculation – you are in fact gambling. Then why did you trade in shares?

(4)   Did you drink alcohol in your life or other intoxicants? If you did – you are also committing vice what.

(5)   Did you see other women dressing scantily and arouse by it? If you did, you are committing vice what.

(6)   Did you say vulgar words or curse and swear at others? If you did, then you are committing vice what.

(7)   Did you take anything and did not ask permission – even very small things? If you did, then you are committing vice what.

(8)   Did you say any single untruth things in your life, even white lies ? If you did, then you are committing vice what.

 

I can go on the list on and on, and can show how a BIG “hypocrite”  you can be – trying to be purist – but have been committing so many vices.

 

Thus I conclude :- 修戒唯下乘。

Mind training - to internalise self discipline - is more superior than any external force to instill discipline.
