LMFAO!!! I saw this thread and was like "wtf" but then when I read the article, I was actually watching Today Tonight (the show that is linked in the site) as I was eating dinner/browsing this forum.

It's quite stupid really. I'd rather bitch at maccas food, not their website. If anything all their greasy "food" should be outlawed

Last time I checked there is nothing wrong with the actual games you play while gambling. Heck I have seen people play blackjack and poker at church, school, etc. Long as your not wagering money its not gambling. Sounds like some mom with no job who wants to hear herself talk.

So Aussies of DCE what will you do? How will you learn to gamble? Do you Hit on a 18? do you split two 10s? What do you do?

See you had NeoPets to teach you that Roofus. What will the Poor kids of AU do to learn?

Now, I play a lot of blackjack at the casino and I played NeoPets in HS with the other people their. So their could be a link.

I hardly ever split a 10 unless the dealers gonna bust. I double up a lot though and Im the only guy Ive seen that pays for insurence cos it usually pays off. but I hardly ever do perfect pairs unless I got some spare $2 chips

Whether or not I split 10s depends a lot on whether I'm playing for real or for fun. A lot of it has to do with that mysterious thing called "gut."

I do pay for insurance But again, it has to do with gut more than anything.

I'd be more concerned about the children sitting on a computer for 6 hours straight playing the game, becoming obese and blind. Bugger gambling - every second console game has some form of gambling in it these days and nobody complain. Hey, even Sonic had gambling bits in it (Casino Zone) yet there was no crappy tabloid problems back in 1992...

I never played neo pets, for me they're for kids. Im 21

My gf is 20 but she got heaps pissed off when she went to the site and it wasn't up any more. Then she started swearing at the chick who wanted them banned, even though she had no idea who complained. She just heard about it
