He said they were not opposed to the setting up of a commission but wanted a proper and open public debate on the issue rather than a secret rubber stamping. 

Which it will be, the man on the street will have no say in this, just those who will benefit from a Casino to hide dirty money.

Residents will continue with the gambling as it is..."mostly underground"

ROFL - and there's not massive corruption now? clueless kids. 

I didn't take it as them being clueless about the corruption in fact a survey taken years ago reported in the Bangkok Post that Thais feel a bit of corruption is good for society? ???? the article stated he was concerned " that corruption would rear it's ugly head in this ISSUE " issue meant to me gambling?

 

What is clueless is there are plenty of studies done around the world today all they got to do is a Google search. Then look at the corruption that goes on now with the BIB in each province and district of Thailand the reason the government leaders want to make it legalized. This is the same B.S. in California when certain Counties wanted to open Indian casinos they wanted to do studies all the studies indicate the problems that come with gambling nevertheless it sill pass with flying colors wherever they can find an Indian???? one opened.  The only excuse Casino has is that it provides jobs and bring in revenue.  

 

I remember when they voted in the Lottery in California 1980's said 50% would go towards schools today the school district are still broke there is corruption everywhere in some degree here in Thailand they are listed 90-100 and it is clear it is everywhere one can only imagine with #1 is like Nigeria?

 

Bravo to the kids for trying but in the end, sadly this will pass hope I'm wrong this time but if they provide a cheap 5 star buffet and let the Freelancers roam around freely like in Macau I might be a hypocrite and dip in?????

A youth group called "New Kids Opposed to Gambling" made up of several national youth organisations have presented a letter to parliament expressing their opposition to the opening of a legal casino.

And rightfully so! There are more than illegal ones around to keep everybody happy -- proprietors, police, and punters.

to the nearest trash can

Why do you assume that? Or was it only another way to ridicule the Thai way of working and dealing with matters, just because you do not agree to it?

It was an observation on how politicians work. Where exactly did I ridicule or mention the Thai way of working? Be specific.

No, what you did was assume, that a person would throw it in the trash. That is not an observation.
