    FORGET THAT


    Parents taking children gambling & then complaining.

    THATS A NEWS HEADLINE

    You're going off topic - whether the use of 2p slot machines is gambling is something for Discussion Time, not here.
    Gone ... or have I?

    Am I the only one that thinks both sides on this argument are going a bit OTT over 20p?

    I really think you need to refrase that, calling special needs kids "spazzed", think you have hit an all time low here :mad:

    No, there was a recent thread on here when this happend. The op on that thread even did admit it wasn't relevant.
  • Depending on the situation I would consider going further by saying that allowing a child to get upset over something as trivial as this is a very bad example for them to be set. There will be much bigger disappointments in life and if issues are made over handling such a trivial matter then think of how hard things will be when an important issue comes along.

    You dont have children do you Ivan ? Hopefully when the child has to face bigger disappointments in life they will not be 4 years old :rolleyes:
    :D I understand ALOT more than I care to let on :D
  • Parents taking children gambling at a very young and impressionable age.

    Nice.

    We wonder why society is falling apart and children run neighbourhoods.
