ST Vote Debate: On the November 5 ballot, we get to vote whether or not to amend the state constitution to allow casinos. - ty97 Oct 21, 08:38 12
- Yes, but an ambivalent one. -- nm - znufrii Oct 21, 08:44
- Yea from a matter of individual freedom. Yea from a matter of revenue generation. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 08:43
- Yes. They have been nothing but a good thing for Indiana. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 08:41
- For. As far as I can tell, I don't see casinos having any kind of negative effect on crime here. And it's a ton of extra tax money. - Jim Oct 21, 08:40 2
  - To be fair, many are already crap. - spamlet Oct 21, 08:41 1
    - Heh...very true. I was thinking along the lines of Hollywood and Ameristar. Not so much the Queen or the Alton Belle. :) -- nm - Jim Oct 21, 08:43
- I'm voting yea since we can use the money and people that want to gamble are already taking that money to NJ and other casinos nearby. - Krusty Oct 21, 08:40 2
  - Are these Casinos gonna be run by Indian tribes or Corporations? -- nm - eag Oct 21, 08:41 1

- You guys are all nuts. -- (link) - Spawn Oct 21, 08:19

      - Its funny - eag Oct 21, 08:21 5
        
        They're not guys 99% of baseball fans know so you'd have to really like the game to watch fall games. Spring training is another story. There you can - Krusty Oct 21, 08:24 4

        Looks like Conor Gillaspie was on the team we saw. Too bad I don't remember the other team. -- nm - spamlet Oct 21, 08:38
        
        Yeah, that's the worst time for you to be away from work. Gotta do it one year. -- nm - Krusty Oct 21, 08:37

  - I can only see it being the case if you have rostered the handcuff. If you do not have him, no way. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 08:23 5
    - As I said, with QB, I think it should just come. Nobody in a league is drafting a backup qb. They're all available until someone goes down. With - pmb Oct 21, 08:27 4
      - What happens if a player you use does not play? -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 08:28 3
        
        Meaning a bye week or something? I think in that case there's a better case for the team owner bearing the risk of not having a viable backup. - pmb Oct 21, 08:34 2
        
        No, I mean if you start someone and it comes out they were unable to play. -- nm - Spawn Oct 21, 08:35 1
        
        I don't know. I guess if it's a game time decsion that goes that way I'd let it go to the back up, but if he's able to play but just doesn't you lose - pmb Oct 21, 08:46
