Casinos in Sderot - NOW!

[GratefulFred]

Forget Eilat - they have it too good with their beaches. Mitzpeh Ramon? Yeah try driving up and down their steep roads after a night of Texas hold'em and martinis.

I vote we set up a casino in Sderot. Made out of top notch construction where when the siren goes off outside no one hears a thing and has to worry about anything but when it goes on inside someone has hit the jackpot. People won't feel like leaving the secure underground parking lot so they'll stay a bit longer. The casino will be on the highest hill and the lights will be seen by those shleppers in Gaza.

Eat your hearts out Hamas. The people of Sderot are racking in the dough, got plenty of good local jobs, and are pretty happy even if this Freddy boy managed to finish the night at plus 100000 shekels (can't stop a guy from dreaming).

Sderot would be a good place to build a bunker city generally. It would actually be interesting if they can build all infrastructure underground and funnel daylight through out the place, with hydroponics, a metro and everything else.

Absolutely not!

Sderot residence like all us Negev residence want to live normal.

Instead of making a shrine for all the missiles shot at Sderot, I say we take all the twisted metal, shrapmel, and all the rocks and damage and get an old fashion catapult and shoot it back on the hour. It'll be fun giving them back their trash.

Having a bunker city is a worthwhile undertaking IMO. It's a precursor for advancing teraforming tech that will eventually be very useful. It's further an insurance policy against some Nuclear scenarios. Not every city, but the Negev is well given to this possibility. Your casino is just the same just smaller and yet is a bigger target being a giant building.

Eilat is absolutely gorgeous, especially back in the 1970's before much of anything was there, but for a few hotels, I can't say enough of the beauty of Eilat. I know things are different today.

I agree that a casino in Sderot would be a happy thing to have!!!

:clap:

I don't see how we could ever accept a defeatest position of living underground. We could make better rooftops and thicker walls in construction to deflect Kassams and Grads for Sderot but the safe room in everyone's houses seems adequate.

We fear not getting nuked. If we did we'd have died off from heart attacks a long time ago.

Our life is all about living free. Cowards hide.

Judaism as a religion would end with our demise as that backbone behind us would bend irrevocably. The 5.3 million jews still in america would eventually disappear.

See you on the Black jack table.

:lol:I live about an hour away from Atlantic City......the casinos there are having lay-offs due to the current economic meltdown...

This is not about hiding, heart attacks, cowardice or Judaism. It's being economically and politically proactive. With far more to gain than a casino IMHO. I think you are limiting your imagination about a *limited* useful scenario. W/o the Tube system and immense underground network in London, for instance, a lot more Brits would have died during the rain of the V2s. We are 60+ years technologically ahead of that. Do you know we will eventually build colonies off world? NASA is building Martian habitats now for testing. But thats the far future. Near future the same technologies can be applied that can basically build a nuke powered super kenyon with funneled natural light and possibly vertically integrated farming. All useful tech anyway to develop. The thing can be *selectively* sealed against NBC contamination. We have to deal with reality on the ground, I'm not proposing Masada 2.0. A few cities on the borders can become experimental hardened environments. Look I spent time in Naharia, I know the exercise of how a raid goes, this mitigates the process and will ultimately improve our economy with the development of related tech. 2 birds, one stone.

That's an actual good idea bar, Sderot's safety would be increased significantly. Then again, i've allways liked the thought of a castle like village with huge walls protecting the citizens. Not trapping your enemy :rolleyes:. How long would it take for Ashqelon to be the next target? Why do you want a casino, they don't do anything but steal people's money. I wouldn't promote a casino in a land of my own people, other then gambling addiction it ruins families.

...How long would it take for Ashqelon to be the next target? ....

True, protect one target and they'll just choose another.

Perhaps we should set up a fake Potemkin village and announce that it is populated by orphans and widows (a target that Hamas could not resist). Every time they launch a rocket at it, we get Steven Spielberg to film some fake destruction and victims and put that on the news. :D

We aren't going underground. You can't put Ashkelon underground either just a bit further away from Sderot in target range. We hid from the Germans - We don't hide from the Arabs. Everyone is a soldier here.

I want my brothers down the road in Sderot to be making money and having a good time and have lots of jobs and lots of money. They've had to put up with the government ignoring them for so long. Businesses have closed up shop. Kids and adults suffer from trama symptoms. People are scared to visit them and their real estate values are in the toilet.

A big casino with massively thick concrete and steel. Everytime it gets hit we repair the broken concrete, and put their garbage into a catapult and fling it back to them. I'll enjoy watching the carnage flung back into Gaza.

I live in the Negev and want to show our enemies that we will not be denied a good time. With all the revenue they get they can remodel their houses but as for this bellow ground stuff - no chance.

I'n not a big gambler either but Sderot can't get much worse than it is now. It needs to catch a break. Might as well build a multiplex movie house as well.

You've acknowledged Sderot is already in bad shape, do you think that casino would get tourists? Everyone in Israel knows that if you go to Sderot, theres a chance of getting killed by a random rocket, not very inviting. If you put a casino that only the local village uses, the only person getting rich will be the owner and management while the normal citizens develop addictions, most likely will divorce over money problems, not to mention It's the holy land. Sorry to be so harsh but you get a big :tdown: on that idea.

Every Israeli will flock down to Sderot. No one thinks they are going to get nailed in a car. Traffic runs all around Sderot anyways. A protective underground parking lot is all it takes.

We are a tourist driven economy and this will do a lot of good. Create jobs, bring in revenue for locals and support the community. Don't worry about a few gambling addicts. Just as i would want Dimona to be known for more than nuclear stuff, I want Sderot to be a fun place Israelis love to go to. This is where a casino needs to go.

Now there's something I can agree with. I met my wife there in 1986 and was back there as recently as November 2008. It is still just as beautiful looking across the sea towards the mountains, and I think Eilat even though geared up for touristism, is a smashing place as the hotels have been given some thought.
