AMERICANS ARE MORE STUPIDER.When the American congress chose and the people allowed, on line poker to be outlawed by a vote on port security,they proved to be dumb enough to be an easy mark for any pols. who were watching. Have played live and on line poker against Americans and Europeans.I find the Europeans a little tougher.Can't see collective thinking either, but to get insights into its promoters and their thoughts, you might read Marx, Lenin, Hitler, or Mao. who could be the most enlightening since a case might be made for a collectivist regime in post WW ll China.

UEIGA is the bill I point to along with the Patriot Act as to what I think is wrong with this country.

The US, Iran and North Korea are currently the countries where you can't play pokerstars.

European poker players are tough to me because of the aggressiveness. It's also how I've made my biggest scores though.

I used to work for Bill Frist, he's the guy most responsible for slipping that in on the Port Authority Act. "click your mouse, lose your house". They got it passed by claiming terrorists are using poker sites to launder money, but it was the moral majority who truly pushed it.

I have no first hand info, but I thought the tax man and the want to collect every last dime of taxes pols, were behind it.

Interesting results..

LGTB. groups use a rainbow flag as their symbol. Isis is the goddess of the rainbow. It's obvious Isis is the military arm of the LGBT. movement in the middle east.

The brick and mortars lobbied for it too. Several reasons were given for it, but it was essentially a moral move to protect me from me. We had one congressman claim that online poker led to child beating.

I wasn't involved in the fight other than donating to the poker players alliance fighting the bill, but I watched it unfold. The majority of citizens here are unaware of the bill's existence, that helped get it passed too.

Prohibition sucks.

Here is the deal, If you want to play poker for money, push to get it legalized in your state.

If it is illegal to sit down at a table and play in Kansas, why should you be able to sit down at a computer in Kansas and play?

Do a poll right now of Obama supporters and they will tell you Iraq was wrong when Bush did it, but now we hafta....

are you honestly trying to compare sending 100k troops to iraq based on manufactured intelligence to lobbing a few missiles after someone gasses 1400 of their own people?

you really struggle with reality and perspective.

Obama's poll numbers are pretty shitty, but those that are left hanging on the nuts, are all about war now too.

now if only you had the least bit of reality to correspond to your deluded and demonstrably false opinion, that would be great.

It may suck but it's a lot better than the crap the people in Wash. St. were offered as an alternative. Who supported online and who didn't makes no diff.. Its fate was sealed when it was attached to the port bill.

Poker players are better at being illegal than organized.Big money controls poker in every state with a casino. Just how do U suggest the poker players take them on?The religious right outnumbers players 1000 to 1.If it is Illegal at a table in Kan.,why should you be able to sit at a computer in Kan.. I don't get this. How about some explaining?

I don't get the point of this thread. Most Americans have no clue about Egyptian mythology.

Read,most Americans who attended public school have no clue about Egyptian myth. Should make no diff. tho, the paradigm for education today is not knowing facts,data, or info but how to access facts, data or info..One trip to Wiikipedia on the ever present cell and you are up to speed on Egyptian myth.

Fred and Frank both live in Topeka, and it is illegal for them to get together and play cards for money.

Why then would it make sense to let them put computers in front of them and gamble at a LAN party?

I'm not speaking on the merits of gaming being illegal, I think it is absurd to make gambling illegal. But as long as it is, why would anyone think doing it on a personal computer should be a viable exception?

The govenment likes it because it can be tracked and taxed. They really only care about the revenue.
