  In all honesty, and perhaps a little bit ashamed to admit, I do believe that to some extent. =\ However telling people to "get over and deal with it" often has extremely negative effects on relationships and possibly the other person's mentality...I would never say that to anybody that claim to have a mental disorder, but I admit that I think it in my head sometimes when I see someone blaming the world for their failures.

  
  
  No doubt that those words are justified in some situations. There are people that really need to be told that.
  
  I don't believe that's the case with this situation, but I don't even know how I could help with this.

  Not a single casino in the country. The only form of gambling is gostop table gaming in private residential homes between friends. Otherwise there are some hidden illegal pool rooms where they bet in matches.
  
  No race tracks either. Tbh, considered how little self control Asians have with everything else, I dont think it was too bad a decision on the government's part. Pachinko ruins more Japanese lives than casinos will ever ruin an American's.

  
  
  Hmm... I have to agree with you here. Sure, Asians go full tilt in to whatever they do but the problem is that they never stop either... (refers to the poor blokes that work themselves to death)
