In my not so humble opinion...

So some of  you know I like to Internet Cafe "Crawl" - as I like to call it....

And I just feel the need to say my piece to everyone who is trying to close down the Internet Cafe business in Ohio....

Your reasons amaze me...

To those of you who want them shut down because they are taking business from your business ....this is America...we thrive on competition...

Even if your business is charitable - find a new way to fund-raise if the cafes are really hurting your funds that bad...

Being charitable should not give you a monopoly on an activity...

And seriously, most folks that visit the cafes will not visit the casinos more often if the cafes close....has anyone done the research?

Admittedly, they may BINGO at your church/school more....but see my opinion above...

If the activity is illegal, why were they (not 1, but over 800 establishments)  given a license to operate in the first place?

For those complaining that it hurts family when people spend all their money at cafes...well I hope you plan to spend as much energy closing  every bar, casino, racino, smoke shop, lottery system, sweepstakes games, etc,  that promotes any any activity that is conducive to addiction...

All things in moderation, folks...

It is not the manufacturer of a product that should be blamed when individuals abuse said product...

Same for gun control...

And legalization of marijuana...

Just because you "can" does not mean you "have to"...or that you should not moderate yourself...

The whole of the population should not have to give up something because some of the population has unbridled tendencies...

Or because some of the population thinks they are above having to compete fairly....
