1 00:00:00,430 --> 00:00:06,429 So, my name is Irene and I'm a teacher of my team Sperry Battle. 2 00:00:06,429 --> 00:00:11,429 We have listened to your arguments with great interest, but we have some objections. 3 00:00:11,429 --> 00:00:17,429 First, you mentioned the creation of addiction. However, everything in the right amount is good. 4 00:00:17,429 --> 00:00:26,429 So, even fats and sugars can be bad if we don't feed them in the right amount. 5 00:00:26,429 --> 00:00:42,340 So, we have to be responsible for our actions, and the government cannot be responsible for us. 6 00:00:42,340 --> 00:00:49,340 So, Raina, you said that the lack of security in Spain. 7 00:00:49,340 --> 00:00:56,340 Well, the Spanish government ensures that licensed bookmarks in Spain are 100% safe, 8 00:00:56,340 --> 00:01:19,340 Which means that no one can enter into these bookmarks, so what they do is because they are going through illegal bookmarks which we cannot control and that's what we are trying to avoid because if the government cannot have anything to do with that, 9 00:01:19,340 --> 00:01:27,340 We cannot regulate it. 10 00:01:27,340 --> 00:01:35,340 Now let me remind you our three main arguments and why we stand against this motion. 11 00:01:35,340 --> 00:01:39,340 First, personal freedom. Besides from being an enterprise, 12 00:01:39,340 --> 00:01:44,340 online gambling is also a thing that people enjoy and have fun with. 13 00:01:44,340 --> 00:01:48,340 In a democratic country like ours, governments should tell people 14 00:01:48,340 --> 00:01:53,340 what they do or do not with their money and time. 15 00:01:54,099 --> 00:01:57,519 Second, in the culture of gambling. 16 00:01:57,519 --> 00:02:01,700 Online gambling was first released in Spain in 2011 17 00:02:01,700 --> 00:02:03,420 by the means of the Gambling Night. 18 00:02:03,420 --> 00:02:05,680 And ever since, the economy has grown. 19 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,060 Graphics show that the second bookmark 20 00:02:10,060 --> 00:02:13,319 that needs more money is Cotere, which is online. 21 00:02:13,319 --> 00:02:18,319 and it's actually evolving in comparison from 2017 22 00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:26,960 because it's online with its model and it's evolved. 23 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,439 So while in panic, something we can take advantage of. 24 00:02:37,340 --> 00:02:40,719 And in the book Time Enough for Love 25 00:02:40,719 --> 00:02:42,740 by Robert A. Hensley, 26 00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:46,539 said that every general provision creates its good players. 27 00:02:47,460 --> 00:02:49,240 This has happened multiple times, 28 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,580 and it's not about drugs, alcohol, or farts. 29 00:02:52,580 --> 00:02:53,620 It's ours. 30 00:02:53,620 --> 00:02:56,539 We are completely attracted to what is proctivity. 31 00:02:56,539 --> 00:03:01,539 In 1933, the USA government proctivated alcohol, 32 00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:05,039 and as we can see here, 33 00:03:05,039 --> 00:03:08,939 the consumption of alcohol is almost the same. 34 00:03:08,939 --> 00:03:12,580 So it means nothing, because, as I said, 35 00:03:12,740 --> 00:03:20,740 What do you think about the salaries of the workers? 36 00:03:20,740 --> 00:03:22,740 What do you mean? 37 00:03:22,740 --> 00:03:33,740 The salaries that those who are working for the company, how many they earn? 38 00:03:33,740 --> 00:03:55,389 Another thing is that during the pandemic, some gyms were closed because of COVID. 39 00:03:55,389 --> 00:04:02,389 But still there were illegal ones where people can go and go to the gym, which was illegal. 40 00:04:02,389 --> 00:04:06,990 but people still do it because it's better for them, 41 00:04:06,990 --> 00:04:10,330 but it's not the point, okay? 42 00:04:10,330 --> 00:04:12,729 So, thank you for your time, Ale.
