I would like to know where in the by-laws and restraints of State employee-ment that it says you cannot, in your off-time visit a gambling hall...does it say not to go to Disney or Destin or Sandals or anywhere else? and, if there were undercover agents there, where were the warrants? None. This is the biggest piece of crap next to Big Jim Folsom's sale to self-esteem & family appointments in the 50s...I'm sorry Bob Riley, as much as I respected you, you disrespected me as a veteran... and, by the way, I am an Indian...not a mid-eastern but an origional...steve bryant

Here we go again,gambling IS NOT ILLEGAL IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA.

If gambling is illegal in Alabama, what about the dog track in Mobile? I would consider that gambling! Did they shut down the dog track part of Victory Land? This is nothing but politics. LET THE VOTERS make the decision on Bingo machines!!! People are going to play the machines in or out of the state, if that is what they enjoy doing. Thinking about the ABC board employees going to the Bingo Halls takes me into another direction. What about the Police Officers in this county that lock up people for DUI, but they go to the local bars and drink and then drive. They don't worry because they know their co-workers are not going to give them a ticket. One local establishment was having Texas Holdem Tournaments, now they have moved the tournament to a house and rumor has it they sell beer at the house.

I agree. There is gambling all over this state. It's all politics. I think that the people would vote for this to be legalized this time. There is too much money being spent on trying to stop it, when there is much more crime to stop. If you are NOT going to stop the crime with state agencies. Then give the money to the schools for our children. I don't consider people's right to gamble a crime. ABC should focus on more important things to do and stop wasting tax payers money.

The dog races have merit. Takes skill to train a dog to run a winning race. That's the difference. It's not a game of chance. The best trained dog wins...most of the time. There is no underlying structure that says this beats that like in cards or lever pulling. Section 13A-12-20 Definitions Section 13A-12-20...definition (3).

Putting money on a number and waiting for the ball to drop...a completely different thing. It's all chance.

lookeyhere...where does it say that gambling is legal in Alabama? You've gone on about it for awhile now. Prove it. Hint: think social gambling. Might help your argument out a bit.

I'm not going to argue with you Flo,go down to Atmore and many other places in Alabama and gambling is legal.We all know those places are on federal land but the fact is ITS STILL IN ALABAMA.So to all the anti gambling crowd its going on right now and there is nothing you can do about it.

That's a postal routing method. Atmore is a place were the mail goes on it's way to the Windcreek Casino. Windcreek Casino is on 303 Poarch Road on an Indian Reservation. Just because the Postal Service doesn't include that little nugget(that it's not in Atmore but neighbors it) does not make it part of Alabama or Atmore.

It's not in Atmore. Their mail just passes through the Atmore Post Office...you twit.

Gambling issue is a diversion.

We will be addressing the real issues at hand at the Tea Party Patriots meeting Thursday from 6 to 8pm. at American Legion Post 80. If the posters want to do something constructive, then do it with us.

Ron Taylor will be our first speaker, (don't want to miss that!), as well as Ryan Cantrell, Deputy Political Director of Ala. Reuplican Party, who asked to come and be a guest speaker.
We will have some special guests in the audience as well.

This grassroots movement has grown enormously since it began in November with an 'on the square' rally, with only a few dozen people.

The time for talking is over - we must take this opportunity to act on what we complain about.

We have to stop trying to legislate morals, period. God doesnt force himself on people, he is a consummate gentleman. He will not kick in your door and force you to be "Good". I think the big problem in this state is that there are waaaaaaay too many "religious" people and not nearly enough Christians. Show me in the bible where gambling is a sin..................

The Parable of the Dishonest Manager

...“There was a rich man who had a manager, and charges were brought to him that this man was wasting his possessions. And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Turn in the account of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’ And the manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig, and I am ashamed to beg. I have decided what to do, so that when I am removed from management, people may receive me into their houses.’ So, summoning his master's debtors one by one, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’ He said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’ Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’ The master commended the dishonest manager for his shrewdness. For the sons of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own generation than the sons of light. And I tell you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous wealth, so that when it fails they may receive you into the eternal dwellings.

“One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much. If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another's, who will give you that which is your own? No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.”

It's ill gotten gains on the part of the purveyors of gambling establishments. You are helping them gain illegitimately...you're going against the spirit of God when you gamble.

I like the Pringles.

We could play some nickel and dime poker, and use Pringles for the poker "chips"! Now that sounds like fun!

But what if you got the fever for the flavor? When it was time to throw in the chips, all you could do is wipe the crumps off your chin. On the plus side of things, the storm troopers could not get us for gambling because we could quickly dispose of the evidence before it was evident!

Just give me the originals however. I don't much care for the sour cream or other flavors.

Poker and Pringles. A winning combination. Deal me in, I just opened up a fresh sleeve! :O
