Like a strange Grisham book.  Rather a scary proposition if the suit has any truth to it whatsoever.


But still Useless news.

What a crock of shit, especially the cited study. I'm so fucking sick and tired of seeing all these "studies" being given credibility when their methodologies seem shakey. A test group of 11 people? Eleven? For fuck's sake....

11 people is statistically significant in a group of 17 billion million people on the planet.

The Mayo Clinic is hardly a fly-by-night operation and you can Google on this stuff to see that doctors and researchers are taking it seriously and also, unfortunately, lots of ambulance chasers.

Trying to get your money back from a Casino? HA! They kick your grandmother to the ground and take the pension check out of her wrinkled hands. What in the hell makes this guy think he can get diddly from them because he might have a weird issue with a drug?

I read that title as: " Re:  Whiners Don't Do Drugs.  for some reason."  I just came to say, "yes we do".

No, 11 people out of the STUDY had the gambling symptoms, not the entire test group was 11 people. It's probably a small amount of like 1000 people or something, but a test group of 11 people would be retarded.
