		<description>But, are the numbers correct?

Gamble, me . . . I bet my friends on Kentucky games sometimes&gt; But I never bet against the KATS. I guess that is gambling.

But, SLOTS are the fastest gaming structure to lead to addiction. And,SLOTS bring in 85% of the revenue for Racinos, Casinos.</description>

		<description>Frankfort Fred,  . . .

Former legislator, Attorney, Franklin County Judge, and now wealthy thoroughbred owner. Mr. Fred Bradly. He Even travels to Dubai for the big meet. It appears Mr. Bradly is doing OK in the horse business.

I mean, if you can afford to air lift your ponies, equipment, personnel to Saudi Arabia things can\&#039;t be that bad.

Horse owner Fred Bradley says;

\&quot; Unlike you, he relies on proven research whereas you seem to be getting your information from Wikipedia.\&quot;

I never considered Wikipedia Fred, they are not entirely accurate. But, I have researched hundreds of gaming sights and the information I posted is accurate.

Example:  Mr. Frank J. Frahenkopf says the gambling addiction rate has remained stable for the past few years at one percent. Yeah, and cows fly.

Now that is the kind of thing, a chief spokes person for the Gaming Industry should say. The real facts won\&#039;t support the 1% Mr. Frank J. Frahenkopf reports.

That number of addicted gamblers is more than two times what the chief lobby for gambling reports.

I listed, in an op ed to the Herald Leader around eight or so facts about gambling.
The main one Mr. Frakenkopf and Mr. Bradley
challenge is that only 1 % are addicted gamblers.

The fact is the rate is closer to three percent than one percent. Just another perception the gaming industry wants the public to believe.

What I have posted, on gaming, are facts . . . and Mr. Frakenkopf, I do not wish to get into a urination contest with a Washington Skunk. Even if one wins, you still loose. 

Good day Mr. Bradley.</description>

		<description>To Jim Anderson Stivers:

Checked out the Herald Leader today?  Mr. Frank J. Frahenkopf calls you out for providing false, inaccurate information about gambling addiction.  Unlike you, he relies on proven research whereas you seem to be getting your information from Wikipedia.  Everyone knows that you have been spreading falsehoods and now he proves it.

Listen, it&#039;s okay if you don&#039;t want gambling, but don&#039;t be spreading lies all over the forum boards.  Everyone is tired of reading your elementary commentary both on here and in the State-Journal.

I would suggest you get a hobby because you obviously have nothing better to do.</description>

		<description>Anyone that wants to say see ya to the horse industry is an idiot.  This is the one thing that our entire state is known for other than being ignorant/stupid.  Now are you smart enough to know the one thing we will be known for without the horse industry?</description>

		<description>To Jim Stivers:

Get real.  Last year you didn&#039;t want the public to vote on it and now don&#039;t want the legislators to take a stand.  If you don&#039;t want gambling in Kentucky, then you are free to leave.  But find a state that doesn&#039;t have some sort of gambling.  Kind of hard to do, isn&#039;t it?</description>

		<description>Gambling happens -- and if it&#039;s prohibited in Kentucky it&#039;s going to happen in other states and those states are going to reap the profits.  And the number one mental illness in America is not gambling, it isn&#039;t even close. In the UK .06% of the population might be considered to have a gambling problem -- and they get to bet pretty freely.  As to that suicide rate increase - what&#039;s 3% of a segment of a segment of a problem segment that has .06% of the population ---- wow?  From such small numbers you spread it pretty wide, jim.</description>

		<description>It is rather easy to see the post that know little about gaming habits. To blow of those that oppose- with mindless post- shows the absolute lack of knowledge of THE FACTS ABOUT GAMBLING.

Gambling is the number one mental illness in America. 

When Gambling comes to town, the suicide rate among children from homes with a problem gambler  . . . Suicide for children goes up by three percent.

Ignorance . . . IS BLISS.</description>
