It could even be as dire as Ray Bitar's.

If God lets hundreds of children die each day then he can squeeze in a spot for that fat slug Adelson - we’ll be fine without him.

It's closer to 20-30k children that die each day. God watches with disgust? Glee? Indifference?

Also, lol @ the idea that Sheldon Adelson, a billionaire who pours money into the political system, hasn't affected any of our lives.

Don't forget that time when god decided to kill EVERYONE just because.

Noah was on the news thanking god for sparing him and his family during this tragedy.

Hi Everyone:

It should be obvious that i’m not an Adelson fan. He has done a lot to hurt poker and has also hurt our 2+2 company. In addition, offering a large poker room, where many young people played poker for long periods of time — one of Adelson’s talking points when it came to Internet poker, has, in my opinion, always been hypocritical. And speaking of hypocrites, we still have the players and poker organizations that still go to an Adelson poker room to either play poker or conduct business. (But this is a topic for another thread.)

Yet, with all this, I don’t think it’s appropriate or becoming to advocate his death. Also, for those of you invoking God into your arguments, keep in mind that God created, among other things, probability theory, which includes expectation (both positive and negative) and variance. And to me, that means we have to solve our own problems ourselves.

Best wishes,
Mason

To continue the derail: the Bible is filled with contradictions, as any Bible scholar will tell you. Consider the two accounts of humanity's creation in the opening chapters of Genesis or the two accounts of the animals loaded onto the ark ...

Nothing wrong with wishing someone advocating the use of nuclear weapons dead. He must die. He must die a horribly painful death, as soon as possible.

"Bad Weather Continues, Humanity nearly wiped out, News at 11:00"

Probably got a 0 share of the ratings, as everyone alive was on Noah's boat already.

His willingness to influence/bend the law for personal gain wrt online poker doesn't even scratch the surface of why people despise him.

The fact that he's willing to be so brazenly hypocritical for personal gain, though, should give you a hint that the other ways he's sought to influence the geopolitical landscape may not always have been done with the best of intentions. But even when it seems like he's trying to be altruistic a lot of the policies he's thrown money at (money made almost exclusively from preying on the weak) seem really poorly thought out. He's good at what he does and is delusional wrt how little he knows about other things. It's a dangerous combination when the thing you're good at affords you so much influence.

Praying for his death/suffering from a punitive perspective is over the top.

Pragmatically though, just for the sake of stopping him from ****ing things up worse than he already has, it would almost be immoral NOT to pray for his death.

Hi Abbaddabba:

Again, Adelson did a number of things which directly hurt 2+2 and as a consequence, directly hurt me, probably more than anyone else who participates here. So, I’m not a fan.

Best wishes,
Mason

I know, i know. I'm just saying you don't need to have been hurt personally by him to think his impact on the world has been bigly negative.

I pray for him to die asap

Everyday

What did he do to hurt 2p2?

By damaging Internet poker it cost us lots of customers.

The poker magazines also became paper thin after they lost all of the online poker ads and I wonder what keeps them in business.

It was short sighted self sabotage as far as poker. The better online poker did the better his casinos would of done. Full online gambling might of hurt him but poker not so much.

If poker would be legalized then he would be at risk because it would be easy to extend legislation to full casino offerings . So its by far short sighted.

There were carve out options for poker as a skill game. Also if not online gambling should of been part his casino offerings.

If he goes that rout he would have more money to bribe people now!

Saw him on the news at the Trump event here in Vegas. Guess he is still doing ok.
