well ? did someone turn round one day and say "only inidans can build casinos"?

yes

Dunno, Dad runs em tho, and makes hella money doing it.. ^_^

edit: ^^ nvm

No, it's a way that they came up with to try to generate revenue for their tribes. We voted to allow them to build casinos on their tribal lands in California, even though casinos are illegal anywhere else. The thought was that it's a way for them to help themselves out of poverty. Organized gambling fought it tooth and nail at first, but then they somehow got in and took it over. I'm not sure how much of the gambling revenue is actually getting to the impoverished memebers of the tribes who have the casinos, but I do know that their casinos are pretty popular.

ahhh right, but how the hell do they know its there tribal land ?

i mean some guy could go "my ancestors land was washington, everyone move out"?

It's pretty corrupt in most places. Very little money actually goes towards the people who need it. There was a Time Magazine article about it some time ago, I remember reading.

i think soap is Mexican. Mexicans love those old SUV's.

I thought people picked on soap because he's a goth. Know I know it's really because he's ignorant and rasist (sic)

IIRC, there is also a difference between the indian casinos and the regular casinos. there are less restrictions on them or something.
