Message: [QUOTE="NvrBlufn, post: 2187317, member: 100286"] I think that there is a less-than-human fallacy clouding this topic. Like, if the money comes from the casino it is okay because the casino is not a person. If the money comes from a nice charity, then the money is still not coming from a person, but at least the charity tries to help others whereas the casinos are simply here to rob and entertain. In either instance the money came from a person [URL="http://articles.latimes.com/2013/jul/17/business/la-fi-mo-man-accidentally-credited-92-quadrillion-by-paypal-20130717"]unless your THIS MAN[/URL] (I think his was a technological error or a ridiculous joke). In order to make it even more human and shed some light on why it is wrong, we might as well just speculate. This is just for the sake of understanding, not argument If you are a parent, imagine your young son or daughter has struggled to get by in life. They are finally on their own and somehow just barely making it. They've landed a job at the local casino because that was really all they could get but they are happy to have a job. One day they make a mistake and hand someone too many chips and are fired at the end of their shift. Better or worse? Imagine it is your job and you are having a really difficult time. Spouse is leaving you for another person and you have to deal with the divorce, assets, etc. Is it so easy to push this all out of your mind the day you find out? Suppose you make a small slip up there. Finally if all else fails and at the risk of polluting this thread with my self-absorbed nonsense some more... Perhaps the person counting your chips is thinking about their mother, dying in a hospital not far away and wanting their shift to end so they can rush to be with her hopefully before it is too late! It is possible the person just was not very smart but they probably wouldn't have a job handling money in a casino if they were that incompetent. Chances are there is something else that's important to them distracting their mind. This is a consideration we only make if we view them all as human and compare them to ourselves and our own hardships. No matter what I choose to believe in or anyone else here, I do not want to cost anyone their job. I don't know them or their struggle. For $20 especially, go win it at the table or go home that much poorer. [/QUOTE]
