Casinos "encouraging" drinking, LOL. A casino encourage gambling, thats it. Blackmon does not have a gambling problem. Is he allowed to go to a gas station that has beer? That might make his temptations worse right? What about a restaurant that serves alcohol, cant be there either right? Grocery store?

 

Blackmon has been spotted at a casino many times, none of them led to ANY misconduct. If he was at a bar you might have a point, but he wasnt, so you dont. Dont let those facts get in the way of your idiocy.

 

Last time Blackmon was spotted at a casino he had a cup of cranberry juice and the board crucified him for being "drunk" at 9am.

Are you telling me that you don't think casinos want and encourage drinking? If so, I have to disregard your opinion because it means you're writing about something of which you have no knowledge. Not that such a thing makes you unusual... "many people without brains do an awful lot of talking" (quote from the scarecrow in 'the wizard of Oz').

 

I would think that it should be obvious to even the most brain dead among us that a recovering alcoholic shouldn't be hanging out where there is a lot of drinking taking place around him, such as at a casino. Suggesting that he has done it before with no ill effect is like arguing that you've played Russian roulette before with no ill effect... or similarly, driven a vehicle while under the influence with no ill effect. Just because he has done something unwise ( a polite way of saying 'stupid') before without negative consequences doesn't justify, on any level, doing it again.

 

Having said all this; do I know for certain that the 'tweat' picture was legitimate? No, I don't. It doesn't change the validity of anything I said however; it just means (if the picture is bogus) that I've been pontificating on this forum for nothing. There's really  nothing new about that. <sigh>
