  1. 所以他的论点基本上可以归结为:

    1. Casinos won’t just divert money away from legitimate businesses because Massachusetts can be the next Vegas

    2. Casinos won’t attract crime because, hey, the people who were paying me seemed like pretty nice guys

    3. 上瘾吗? I’m not a doctor, mmmkay? Don’t come at me with your medical mumbo-jumbo! And anyway, isn’t gambling fun?

    抱歉,但这个二流的政治顾问让马萨诸塞州和波士顿都显得很糟糕。 从什么时候起,这所引以为傲的大学开始为人类已知的最腐败的企业之一雇佣律师了? 来吧,看看这些数字。 Casinos do attract crime–organized and otherwise, they completely overturn local economies, and they utterly devastate families as they prey upon people with serious illnesses. 赌场收入中直接来自赌博成瘾者的比例是多少? 去查一下吧,事实会让你震惊的。

    你真丢脸,教授。

  2. A large problem surrounding public knowledge (and for that matter legislative knowledge) of this issue is perfectly illustrated by 波士顿大学’s choice to interview a paid casino gambling advocate (former or otherwise) and gear the questions around him being objective about the issue. Most of the studies re: gambling – with the exception of the National Gambling Impact Study which was put together by Congress – are written through very subjective lenses but passed off as academic or well though out. 马萨诸塞大学达特茅斯分校的克莱德·巴罗就是一个很好的例子。 他的分析充满了模棱两可和轶事证据,更不用说他从赌场倡导者那里获得了大量资金,无论是个人还是通过多纳休澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究所(Donahue Institute)。 在反赌场方面,厄尔·格里诺斯(Earl Grinols)澳门威尼斯人注册赌博相关社会成本的澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究同样是轶事,尽管他们对这个问题进行了压倒性的数学解释。

    If you really look at the Governor’s proposal, it mirrors Clyde Barrow’s plan for casino gaming in MA, put forth publicly months before the Governor came out with his plan.

    I am a new student at BU and it really disappoints me that the school chose not to present this topic in a forum where several of it’s many talented and smart professors debated the issue on its merits – question of inevitability, casino revenues, social costs, etc. – but rather through a tee ball interview with a former gambling advocate. 如果你期望波士顿大学的学生客观地了解问题,这是行不通的。

  3. 我同意另一个匿名者的观点。

    Stanley Buchin在这篇文章中提出的观点,似乎没有足够的澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究或表达值得引用。

    Considering his credentials as “a former marketing and business consultant to several casino developers”, this is a disgrace.

  4. 我不得不怀疑其他评论的人是否读过这篇文章。 很明显,这是对上学期写的一篇文章的反驳。 it looks to me like BU is just trying to get both sides of the story — no matter how biased it may seem from this one side.

  5. 任何反对赌场的人都是无知的电脑嬉皮士。 Like the professor said, if people want to gamble they’re going to find a way to do it. 至于犯罪,你真的认为福克斯伍兹在CT的那个地区制造了犯罪吗? 你去过福克斯伍德吗? 在城市里或附近建一个赌场将为州政府带来巨大的收入和数千个就业机会。

    另外,它会节省我很多汽油钱,因为我一直开车去CT。

  6. 《波士顿今日报》似乎在效仿《波士顿环球报》,刊登了一些支持赌博的人的采访,但没有质疑或质疑任何声明。 Essentually you’re being used as a mouthpiece for their agenda, and I’m a bit surprised the school is willing to do so. The idea that cold weather, congested Massachusetts can replicate Las Vegas makes me question the professor’s sanity. 其次,如果你认为买一张10美元的刮刮彩票和去一个提供免费饮料、供氧管道让你赌得更久、对每次输钱几乎没有限制的赌场是一样的,这也会让人感到不可信。 最后,他驳斥了所有赌场都在从当地企业转移收入的合理担忧,声称赌场应该被建立为休闲目的地,而不仅仅是一日游的地方,但后来又提出了几个问题,说赌场应该设在波士顿市,以方便市民?? Isn’t that a contradiction?

  7. Many people commenting on this page need to do their research before they comment on this professor’s intelligence or sanity. 斯坦利·布钦是一位杰出的教授,也是一位更好的导师。 我有幸向他学习,并在课外多次与他交谈。 说实话,如果你去波士顿大学批评这个人的智商,请安静。 这个人是麻省理工学院和哈佛大学的毕业生。 他在酒店和旅游行业的不同领域都有见多识广的背景。 Chances are he’s a bit more informed than those criticizing.

    我很愤怒,人们如此不尊重他们不认识的人,也没有意识去澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究。

  8. 我不知道。 我已经决定,我不能很好地预测立法机关将如何澳门威尼斯人注册行动。 我想说的是,这取决于州长如何成功地集结他的力量,并向立法机构施加压力。 如果没有强有力的领导,这是不可能实现的。

  9. 在反赌场方面,厄尔·格里诺斯(Earl Grinols)澳门威尼斯人注册赌博相关社会成本的澳门威尼斯人注册网站研究同样是轶事,尽管他们对这个问题进行了压倒性的数学解释。
