#auaaaaaaa

every inch of my body is cramped up, my shoulders, neck, back and it spreads into my legs and my hip and even in my jaw (sometimes I can hardly open my mouth)...and also it hurts to breathe sometimes....

Word on the street is that there will be Casinos in Samoa. This has been brewing for a while now. Update: "It's official. A Chinese company is one of two companies the Government has issued with licences to operate casinos in Samoa".

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

So many warning signs are ringing in my head when I first heard of this idea.

1) Gambling in Samoa - Waste of money, gambling is an addiction blah blah

2) Where will it be and which village? Which village will be staging a protest against building these Casinos due to land conflicts? (Remember the hospital drama between Satapuala and the Government?)

3) The cost of living in Samoa is rising, and the wages for many people are not even matching it (some) and therefore - where do you think the spare money to go play at the casino will come from? 4) Casinos = Evil haha. Causes domestics... -'O fea le kupe ga avaku ia oe?' (Where's the money that I gave you?) 5) The Samoans in NZ and AUS are trying their hardest to kick the habit of gambling, so having a casino in Samoa isn't helping! Here's a summary of my rant based on an article published by the Samoa Observer (because the points above weren't enough haha): So, if you don't have a Foreign Passport and you're not staying at a flippin hotel, then you can't gamble - IDIOTS. While they build these Casinos for the tourists, the people of Samoa who actually live there just get to stare with their mouths wide open...not like it will stop some from going in - it's who you know, not what you know. Just make friends with the security and the crew and you're most likely in! Some tourists go to the Islands to relax and live the simple life for a while - away from the stresses of the westernized world and the Casinos are not the simple life. Want to gamble? - Hunny go to Vegas! Seriously, just want to pake someones head in...Stupid idea.  Yes Casinos = attract tourists but why have it in Samoa and not allow any Samoans who live there the chance of using it? That's like teasing a baby! This can only cause drama...if anyone can see any goodness in this idea - DO LET ME KNOW!
