broken arrow casino.

All you self-reliant, John Wayne types whining about a casino when 99% of your other posts are about "personal responsibility". Hypocrites.

I can understand not wanting one built next door for the noise, traffic, and general inconvenience, but not wanting one because "they destroy lives" is an overly emotional argument. The casino didn't force someone to waste their life's fortune and it did not cause anyone to embezzle. Moral weakness and lack of character caused those things.

Toughen up lassies, you are an embarrassment to your own self-proclaimed values of self-reliance. The Duke would shake his head in disgust.

It's more about inconvenience for me. Given that casinos are magnets for all kinds of debauchery, I really can't afford to have one next door. I mean to say that I can easily handle any of the vile and putrid stench that stumbles out of the golden doors... I'd do it in Duke style too with a 2x4 upside the face, a boot on the backside and some horse trough water-boarding to let them know they've violated my airspace. By afford, I mean that I can't afford the time it would take and the piles of money I'd have to hand over to some slimy defense lawyer to save my butt from the pokey.

So you see... it's just better for everyone if they locate it in your backyard instead. Capisce?

If I got a cut, I wouldn't mind.

Spoken like a true bambulance catcher...

As long as you're pimpin', you could get purplehaze all squeezed into some lace and garters and run your own on-site service too.

Are you asking for a frequent customer discount?

Ya, I got ya beat by about a mile and a 1/4 actually. I'm close enough to actually be able to mount a rooftop platform on my abode and pick off all of the feral hookers in the parking lot before they can reach my door.

We can join forces and setup a joint task force with peanut, reddog and a few others in the area too.

Hey don't leave me out! I have an all weather, multi wheeled, bad terrain shaggin waggon.(jeep). I bet we can mount a 10/22 to the roll bar and use my mag lite and chase the riff raff out of town.

It's all fun and games till they build one next to your house. Anyone saying that they don't have a problem with a low rent ez up casino being built near their home obviously rents, or lives in an apartment. Or drives a berlinetta.

At the same time, casinos do provide jobs for many many people in any location that they are in. The tribes donate a great deal of funds back to the community through infrastructure, education and any number of other programs. Although the gaming industry has its negative points, I would challenge people to point out industries like tribal gaming that put as much back into their communities and give back to their tribal members.

Drug Dealers like Pablo Escobar gave back to their communities and gave people jobs. Does that justify their actions? I have yet to see it given to any education just like the so called lottery money for education. The only programs i have seen get the money are the "programs" for the people that run the place. They are supposed to give it to help out their reservation or w/e they call it here but yet they still look like crap. Unfortunately they have won lawsuits in the past to put up these places so i don't see anyone stopping them. It is very unfortunate that they are going to do so in such a populous area but then again it is 2012 and the beggars and thieves walk among us and not in the sewers anymore.

I chose to live in the relative safety of the Tulsa / B.A. line for peace and quiet and ultra low crime. I don't want a casino next door and I honestly don't give two $h!t$ about what anyone who doesn't live in the affected area thinks about it.

Okay so you are griping about this on an statewide forum about an affected 2 mile radius which equates out to about .02% of the state. You say you don't care about anyone else living in the other 99.98% of the state, or just those that don't agree with you? I would find that hard to believe because the first person to jump in on your side living in Texas and you'd be best buddies.

While I do agree that there is a possibility of crime going up, I would say there's that same possibility with anything that could be built there including a Walmart, a Target, a strip club. Anything that brings more people brings the chance to bring the unsavory crowd. One referenced crime of prostitution, I really doubt that there is that much of a problem with a majority of casinos in Oklahoma. It might be an intermittent problem with some that actually have an attached hotel. I really don't see them having the problem with them walking around trying to solicit openly because I bet they get shut down pretty quick, moreso a craigslist kind of situation. No way it would be anything near what they have in Vegas.

What I really truly hate is that I have to post this...."I do gotta agree with JB"



I feel dirty.

you can't control the personal responsibilities of others of their lack thereof

you're right about some of the crime being different here than in Vegas.
until I was 10,I grew up right outside Atlantic City,went to school in AC, my mom worked at Resorts when it was first opened in 1978, spent summers on the Boardwalk and at the beach.
hookers,crack addicts and organized crime are the norm there.
we typically don't have those kinds of probs at the Indian casinos here.
sure you have cranksters but they typically don't panhandle you in the streets.
so I agree with you there.
