> If I go to Vegas and spend my whole check at the slots are you going to cry for me when I can't pay my rent?

I'm not gonna cry, but I do feel bad for people who can't seem to help themselves with gambling, other addiction, or even just general stupidity. People have serious problems with willpower, in many different ways.

Then the casinos design themselves to take as much advantage of that lack of willpower as they can.

That said, I don't blame anyone for not feeling bad for these people. Plenty of things to feel bad about and I can't feel bad for everyone.
