No one said they would be logical. Hence, weed is still illegal.

Re: UIGEA Is Final

there isn't even a comparison to weed (even though it should be legal too)

playing poker is simply people sitting in their house playing a video game. it's no different than playing world of warcraft. trying to ban it is the most ridiculous thing ever...

The comparison relates to the refusal to tax and legalize a widely used and in reality, unbannable, substance less harmful to the user than two legal substances: alcohol and tobacco.

Sorry for the confusion.

Im all for change but people thinking this is something that this is any where near the top of the list of things to get done to right America at this point make me sick. you clearly have zero view of what the US is really facing beyond your precious poker. I would gladly give up poker to not see troops in iraq, our economy actually work, health care worth while. Most of you make me sick.

did you ever think that maybe some of us need poker to make a living to spend money in our economy? some of us actually win at this game and would like to continue doing so for some time to come.

Re: UIGEA Is Final

It just sickens me how these pigs wanna control what I can and can't do with MY MONEY. It's not like they're giving me a bunch of money and saying "no gambling". I work for it myself and then they want to put stipulations on where I can spend it? They all have some sort of agenda too, I'd love to spit in their face if we ever met.

And I don't think this will scare the fish away.
Details please. Would this allow me to open a euro neteller account?

Every morning I wake up... I hate America a little bit more. Seriously, Colonial America had more freedoms than we do today.
