Possibly one of the worst posters on this site. He sucks at life, which is probably why he spends his entire days on here.

I seriously doubt St Tammany cares if anyone gambles or not. Anyone that lives on the Northshore that wants to go to “the casina” is making the drive to NOLA or the MS Coast anyway. The goal is to keep not just the casinos out, but also the check cashers, payday loans, shitty used car lots, and whatever other signs of desperation out. Let NOLA and Biloxi deal with that.

So your choice = preventing others from making their choice. So noble of you, especially in the context of your description.


I also choose not to allow people to shite on public roads in my commumity. About the same concept. Thanks for the compliment.

My point above is just that if you support outlawing this, you're supporting big government and displaying an authoritarian streak. You just don't get to claim you believe in property rights or free trade anymore.


What fantasy world are you living in? This casino thing is rife with big government meddling. Other than the politically connected house, who do you think benefits from it? The politicians and other political cronies. And if you think any of that St Tammany take will be effectively used for the residents of the Parish, Ive got plenty of real estate for sale in Bayou Corne. These deals epitomize big government.

Property rights and free trade?How in fricks sake does that have anything to do with anything? Are zoning laws communist!?! FFS.
Free trade? Are you cool with living next to a crackhouse bc there is unhampered commerce going on? Gimme a break with free trade and property rights.

Clear you haven't done much in the real world, owned a home, or have kids.

Do you believe in representative government - as in citizens voting on issues that will affect their community? Does not appear so.

Those two things are not even close to the same concept.

If you've ever been to a Louisiana or Mississippi casino you'd know they are quite close.

I have, but my point is that you don’t “choose to not allow” people to shite on public sidewalks. Your entire statement makes no sense.

Worked at a casino in a different life. The usuals weren't the rich people. The usuals were people coming in to spend the money that they're given every month by the government. Talk about pissed me off.

Sounds like libtards insisting on vaccine mandates. But I’ll bet you’re good with that.
