>I never claimed otherwise. Did you read my post? Yes, I did. You said >Movie theaters also don't advertise in such a way that suggests will walk out with a lot of money. in response to someone comparing movie theaters to casinos. Your comment is obviously suggesting that you believe casinos advertise "in such a way that suggests will walk out with a lot of money". >I've never seen such an advertisement Check out any chain restaurant advertisement. Here is an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CbVVq4GStc >nor have I heard of anyone putting up the deed to their house or the title of their car to pay for their restaurant habit. So you're changing the point from "they advertise in a misleading way" to "people can become addicted to it"? That is a different argument so I want to be clear if we're moving on from the original point. |

What you said:
> ... advertise that you will walk out with a lot of money either. Only that you might.
No one said casinos advertise that you will for sure walk out with a lot of money; my point was that they imply that you will walk out with a lot of money. The distinction seems obvious to me.

The point was never that casino advertisements are misleading, but other advertisements are honest; the point was that casino advertisements are misleading in ways that are ultimately life-ruining. For similar reasons, we hold cigarette and alcohol companies accountable for the content of their advertisements.
