Re: Poker education similar to Sex education?
I am not comparing gambling with sex but, rather, I am postulating that it may be beneficial to educate the kids about poker/gambling just like they are taught about sex. Similar reasoning might be that we educate our kids about matters that have a significant impact upon them, sex certainly fits that criteria. They are taught about STDs, AIDS, birth control, etc. Why not educate them about Poker/Gambling?
To be sure, this is a rationazation to some extent. I enjoy playing and it gives us a certain bond. But just as teaching sex in school or at home is not meant to condone the practicing of same before an appropriate age or maturity, similarly, my kids education about gambling ought not be automatically construed as encouraging anti-social behavior that is commonly associated with poker/gambling.
Comments?
