RE: Welcome to Australian media

Well they aren't wrong. I think it is stupid.

People who spend tons of money on any sort of in game items is not only promoting micro transactions. But are just plain out stupid.

But I feel like it is not even close to news worthy. There are so much more important things going on.

RE: Welcome to Australian media

I never understood this underage gambling. If anyone has money they should be able to spend it any way they want as long as it doesn't go into crime.

I don't get it, so what? Either the kid uses his own pocket in which case you snooze you lose, or he uses his parents money, in which case it's clearly the parents responsibility to maybe not give their kid access to their card. In any case I don't really get why anybody should really give a shit.

I mean "they're kids, they do dumb things" isn't a good excuse considering most adults are retarded anyways. Should we just absolve people of all responsibility if they are below an IQ threshold or something?
