If we are setting ourselves up for a compromise, I don't think this is so terrible.

If there are 8 million new addicts, that means there are about a billion new players. Haha. The segment was stupid. After the addicted guy spoke, Faux News says the guy admits that MOST people don't get addicted and acknowledged the recreational appeal.

Christian Science Monitor going off on a tangent.

online gaming and poker is a tax on the poor?

Also, more poker is chance incoherent bs with logic such as since the DoJ says poker is gambling, it is gambling. CS Monitor incoherent poker is not skill article

Any new tax that everyone has to pay is a tax on the poor...

What do ya'll think?

Gambling Industry says DOJ ruling confusing.

Early 2012, federal bill pushed. All the signs are there

LT22, I think you might be onto something. Here's another link. What ya think on this?

Analysis: U.S. online poker ruling at risk in future

F. Fahrenkopf = AGA = "ban online gaming except for iPoker"= save the kids. This is great because it puts pressure on the Feds to finally lay the law down = save the kids.

The numbering of the issues is wrong.

Issue 2 It's For The Kids!
Issue 3 They Tax You Twice
Issue 3 They Try to Block Everyone Else

Other than that, I agree with everything written. People shouldn't play the lottery.

nice

Just wow at this comment on that CS article: *maybe a level?*

"I live in Joe Barton's district. He is a good man. He has fought against those on the other side trying to stop global warming which as we know is God's call to us all for judgement day. But my girlfriends and I were talking about his poker bill during Church bingo on Sunday. Now I'll admit there is not a lot of skill in bingo, but I've been told I have a pretty mean left dauber, especially during the big jackpot games! So we were talking about poker and we all agreed: Why would we want to use our minds and think strategically and all that when we can just sit here and smoke and chat and daub away? There is no place in God's America for the cold analytical and strategic thinking that the devil wants to teach you by letting you play poker. So Mr. Barton is wrong here, though we still love him because he is truly a god-fearing man."

Obv a level

hes just trolling ;/ I would bet its a 2+2 member that wrote that lol

It was, that was posted a long time ago in a different article from those guys. Lots of people posted stuff like that, and a good time was had by all.

State officials studying feds’ ruling on online poker [VegasInc - 4 January 2012]

...

Among those calling for federal legislation is Mark Lipparelli, chairman of the state Gaming Control Board, who fears that a lack of clarification could lead to online pandemonium.

“A piece of federal legislation is going to be a necessity,” Lipparelli said. “What we’re afraid of is that somebody’s going to do it in a way that has an unattractive outcome. The question is how we create a common set of standards and rules.”

New hand dealt [LVRJ editorial calling for a uniform federal framework]

The need for immediate federal regulation seems SO obvious, but I'm not sure Congress can get anything done.

More of ^^ that please.
