Chula Vista's cleanup act
I don't get what you are saying, I didn't make a comment about women being rape victims.— December 16, 2015 8:09 a.m.
Chula Vista's cleanup act
anniej- you are right, bad opening statement and I retract, I apologize for the comment. My wife's cousin lost 2 houses, cars, wife and business to the Village Club. He goes to all the casinos and card rooms in the area. The family has tried to help but he refuses. For the addicted ones they will find a place to gamble and won't stop until they get help. I do think the owner and the parties should get what the system decides but I just think we should all have a open mind on others lifestyles and opinions. Thanks for your comments.— December 15, 2015 3:08 p.m.
Chula Vista's cleanup act
So I guess you don't agree with my comments so you resort to a personal bash about where I work or what I do. Oddly enough as you say, you could not be more wrong. I visit the casino maybe 2 hours a week to relax and eat and play poker for a bit. I am a 30 year Retired Navy Disabled Veteran and I own a business so I guess your not as smart as you think. Since you can't figure out my real point I can spell it out for you. I was simply making a comment on the side of the casino because I think it has more good qualities than bad for the community such as providing jobs and money for the city. Other people wrote their opinions and I so wrote mine. If you can't make comments without being attacked then why have a forum. I guess you only want comments that agree with yours on here. Have respect for other peoples opinions. I am not an employee of the casino nor am I an investor of any sort so get off your high horse. I just enjoy entertainment of a little poker sometimes and don't want to see the place close. There are other places to play but this is a classy place. I am sure you are a great member of society but that does not mean if I don't agree with you that you have to bash me.— December 15, 2015 8:37 a.m.
Chula Vista's cleanup act
Sometimes people who write on these threads do so just to try and feel important to themselves. You should know all the facts before you start to judge things. If you notice the only person in the Casino that was arrested was the Owner. All others arrested were not patrons of the casino and did not even come to the casino and the prostitution and other offenses did not occur at this casino. The Casino is a really nice place with good food and good people. The ones arrested put the casino in a bad situation by taking advantage of a place to launder money. The owner was not arrested for laundering money. The Casino provides jobs to many people also. The Casino is in a place where nothing else can survive and thats why the building were available. The Casino makes good revenue for the city of Chula Vista. I guess you would rather all the patrons go to Barona or Sycuan and all the money go the the Indian Reservations. It does not matter where the casino is located, people who want to play poker and table games will go to those places so closing does not help people who are addicted. I go to the Casino to relax and play poker responsibly, I enjoy it for entertainment like many others. If you have not been to the Casino then don't make any assumptions about what goes on there. Of course politicians take money from Mr. Souza because he is a good man of the community. Maybe thats why he has had a business here for so many years. Everybody has different opinions and that is ok, If you don't like gambling then stay out of the Casino. I don't care about the strip club, never been there because its not my deal. Sex freaks need a place to go so they don't look elsewhere and rape or something. Sometimes these places have a hidden good point. I appreciate everyones point of view and I hope you will respect other peoples point of view.— December 14, 2015 7:21 p.m.
