I would consider it a negligence on parents behalf as it was their first duty to keep an eye on their children.
You know some kids are really good at hiding their habits, they know their parents see them as innocent and play pretence to still be innocent even when they are now far from it. So we can't completely push blame the way of the parents. They failed in their role to be observant and keep close tabs on their child, but many others as well including the individual that took his life deserve equal portions of the the blame.

If your children sees you as a gambler, possibility is, they would also be gamblers in the future, so teach them not to be at the young age...

You can't be a gambler and just be teaching your child not to gamble. How is the child suppose to take you seriously if you don't give them critical reasons why it may not be safe for them. Children need reasons these days as they are far too exposed to just tell them not to gamble and they follow you blindly like before. l hope you understand.

Just like an anchor on the sea bed, Norwich is now settled on the bottom of the EPL table, relegation is sure for them now just like Watford. One more club for relegation and Everton, Burnley and leeds are looking like the candidates, even not too safe for Brentford. Games this weekend i think will determine who goes relegated are the Brentford vs Burnley,  Leeds vs Norwich, Southampton vs Watford. Everton is not a team i'll like to see relegated, so hopefully they should win their game against the Wolves.
2964  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: March 10, 2022, 08:47:54 PM
Chelsea had a incredible performance in the first half. Despite not giving the opposition chance for a possible goal. Chelsea are expecting more goals in the second half of the game, I'm expecting like a 4-0 win for Chelsea. Norwich don't have what it takes to beat Chelsea or do a come-back in the second half.
The news today has been of the sanctions against Roman Abramovich, should i say former Chelsea owner? You can normally expect such news and challenges to affect members of the club and team, but we are seeing a Chelsea team that looks unaffected. We have to give special credits to the entire Chelsea team, the coach and players for handling this news very well and not Letting it get to them. More goals definitely in this second 45mins.

Is it a disrespect to Madrid because key players like Vinicius and Benzema play there? It turns out that Benzema has done the trick, but the match still appears to be tough, as if they are both sharing yellow cards.
The game is likely to result in a penalty kick if Real Madrid puts in one more attempt and manages to win by a score of 2-1, bringing their aggregate to a tie.
Great pass from Modric, such world class! Benzema has scored again! Glorious night really for him. The PSG defence is very shaky with no confidence on the ball...the have made too many errors trying not to make mistakes, the game will certainly take a different turn right now that both teams are square on aggregates.

Edit: Before i could finish typing, Real Madrid has made it three goals! i never would have predicted, the home fans will definitely be proud of their team.

He could completely crush Real Madrid's hopes of qualifying today.

Mbappe is certainly on fire today and is causing problems to the Real Madrid back side.The PSG keeper has made a blunder with slow decision making, it has cost the team a goal as Benzema was able to mount pressure and cause a goal. Hope is definitely alive for the Real Madrid side who were already looking outplayed with their slow build up to goal. This goal is certainly important for the team, Benzema has lived up to expectations to inspire the team.
2967  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽UEFA Champions League Discussion Thread -- 2021/22 Round of 16! on: March 09, 2022, 08:47:31 PM
... the pressure for Madrid is huge, they must be able to get 2 goals if they want to advance to the next round.
With Mbappe almost halftime ending goal, it is becoming next to an impossible task ahead for Real Madrid, they were really looking to score but that last mistake, with that perfect touch sent mbappe to the Real Madrid Goal...Mbappe is such a great finisher, the way he completely fooled the keeper with his body movement and placed the ball where he least expected, great technique... looking forward to second 45 mins, Real Madrid can still put up a fight, it's the champions League after all.

Tottenham are leading in 3-0 win over Everyone at the Wembley stadium, Everyone.
Good to see Tottenham Hotspur back in form especially Harry Kane. I never would have predicted a five goal lead, i'm wondering if Everton is in a really bad form or Spurs in a really good form. There will be more goals definitely in this second half. Not that it means anything but MUFC's position on the table is still threatened by Tottenham and Westham.
2969  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Gambling Disorder ? on: March 07, 2022, 04:07:59 PM
I don't think it is right to treat gambling addiction with opiates or antidepressants, as these substances are also addictive. As I understand it they temporarily suppress cravings for gambling addiction but do not relieve gamblers from addiction.

Besides big medical companies first of all care about their income so it is profitable for them to pretend that these drugs treat gambling addiction. I would never allow my child to be treated with these drugs.
If someone with a gambling disorder is treated with drugs, it feels to me that he/she will have to continue to use such a drug maybe throughout the rest of their life. Apart from the financial strain this can cause, it also has the ability to have some damaging long term effects on the body and system of the person been treated with it. A better alternative for me to treat those with disorders is to try to teach them to replace the habit with a good habit. So whenever the craving to gamble comes, he/she can indulge in the other activity to distract the mind as a way to try to get control. If effectively practiced, the uncontrollable desire to gamble can be brought under check.

Be it as it may, people will always still depends on bank and the local currency issued by government. Truly it is centralized and banks have the full control (but do not forget this is the same as crypto centralized exchanges and centralized wallets), the money can be seized at anytime. As their are alternatives now which is bitcoin (on noncustododial wallet) and other decentralized currencies, fiat will still survive because people still see it as a means of easy spending as they are use to it.
The bitter but unfortunate truth, The banks regardless of their failures repeatedly are not going anywhere anytime soon. It is how deep the majority have been brainwashed by the government to sticking completely with fiat banks and not giving cryptocurrency a chance at all. It is definitely in the plan of the government so as to keep people under it's control. Exchanges may still seize your money as banks can but the chances of it happening with them is less as you know most exchanges are owned by individuals of other Nationalities not necessarily your own, and they may not directly be under the influence of the government of your country.
2971  Economy / Economics / Re: Who will Replace Russian Gas Supplies to Europe? on: March 07, 2022, 01:52:07 PM
Nobody. Russia doesn't need to be replaced because gas doesn't need to be replaced.
Renewable energy is a long term solution to this current challenge about replacement of gas supply from Russia and with the current situation, most countries will start looking into it, but I think what OP is asking is the immediate short term solution if Russia decides to cut the gas supply now. Countries will definitely suffer and will need an alternate supply even if they are to look into projects for renewable energy, because switching to renewable energy just immediately may not be able to carter for the energy demands and needs of the entire country.

Someone will write article with his own experience but another person will say it is not true.. That means you are calling him a lier..

Hello OP, Sorry if anyone has hurt your feelings or affected your self esteem here...It may not have been their intention to. You have to understand that this is public space and there are a lot of people here from different backgrounds and orientations, whenever you post up a story, you have to make it convincing and of value...you also need to be sure of what you post...if criticism comes regardless, learn to handle it well, it is what is needed at times for growth.

2975  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Putin Receives Nobel Prize In Medicine For Ending COVID Pandemic on: March 07, 2022, 04:58:36 AM
Obviously, this is a fake story but we need a good laugh during these are trying times...
The story/article is definitely fake, wasn't well formulated or wasn't given enough attention, but we all get the drift. Since Russia started this war with Ukraine, i've wondered the whereabouts of COVID because the war has shifted attention from it and it seems not to be a thing to fear now but Putin alone. The story about the COVID virus is not completely true, and this sudden war has indicated that those who suspected such formerly were correct.
2976  Other / Politics & Society / Re: USA will also suffer. on: March 06, 2022, 09:50:01 PM
USA imports half of its uranium from Russia and their ally country Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. From this uranium, the USA produced 20% of their total power supply according to the world nuclear association. USA and their ally EU countries implemented various sanctions on Russia but this sector is still open for trade. Russian company Rosatom takes care of trading uranium to other countries so the USA can do sanction this company? It seems the USA is having a hard time cutting off trade with Russia.
Not just the United states, many other countries as well will be affected by the crisis between Russia and Ukraine. Russia  is such a major player in the world economy in terms of power. Putin knows this as well as other countries so it's an advantage to him in this war. We don't want the war to escalate so the effect doesn't become global because war has the ability to have a global effect.

Manchester City dominated whole game and gave no hope to United in derby. Both Mahrez and de Bruyne scored twice, it could've been more if they need to. It's very hard to steal points from them at Etihad.
I wasn't expecting MUFC to win, but a draw at least, KDB and Mahrez took that option away from them scoring twice each, i wonder if the outcome of the game would have been different if MUFC featured a complete team with CR7 who was out with a hip injury, Varane and luke Shaw who weren't included because they tested positive for covid. Do you think we would have seen a different scoreline?
2978  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: March 06, 2022, 05:25:59 PM
...Manchester City scored the second goal scored both by Kevin De Bruyne in the 5th and 28th minutes, it looks like there will be a second half surprise for Manchester United, the score is still 2-1 in the first half.
Certainly the derby we expected, CR7 will not be happy he is sitting this one out due to a sustained hip injury. Very impressed with KDB and Foden after this first half, Maguire remains a disaster, can't still believe he is worth £80m. Many expect MUFC to score and draw this game, i think it is highly unlikely... Manchester city will score more goals in second half.

MANCHESTER DERBY

It is always exciting to witness the Manchester Derby. Many things characterises the Derby. One of them is that Derby does not put in consideration the current form of either team. Which means whether Manchester United or Manchester City is doing badly, once it comes to Derby both teams will give their best.

Manchester City has made their intentions known quickly to win the EPL this season, a goal in the first 10 minutes and they are playing looking more likely to score more goals. Almost wanting to pity this Manchester United side because they look like they are in trouble with this Manchester city momentum but the reds can pull something up certainly.

Sancho just equalised, can Manchester United hold on?
2980  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Premier League Prediction Thread 2021/2022 on: March 06, 2022, 04:11:59 PM
Watford could reduce the number of goals through Sissoko's goal in the 87th minute, until they finally really lost in this match.
I was scared for Arsenal in the final minutes of the game, for a moment there, i thought the game was going to end in a draw after Sissoko's goal, what a disappointment that would have been for me. Thanks to Odegaard, saka and Martinelli, we are now fourth on the table. A Manchester city win will today ensure will stay fourth, although i can't say for sure that Pep's side will win because of the quality MUFC can bring to play, hopefully they do.
