[Hulud]

i just cleared all my accounts, so i dont lose money when bush signs this into law.

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

huh? I must have missed something.. please explain..

[HalfBaked]

Man fuck that.

I'll be fucking pissed.

I only have like $18 in there right now anyways.

[Hulud]

they are making it illegal to tranfer money from bankl accounts and credit cards to online poker/gambling websites

[Hulud]

Man fuck that.

I'll be fucking pissed.

I only have like $18 in there right now anyways.
i just cleared out $100

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

what is their reasoning for that?

can the gov't not tax this industry and thats why their banning them?

not when they are offshores, also their reasoning is that its gambling (which is illegal in 99% of america)

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

oh, I thought many of the poker places were offshore.. so their OUTSOURCING AMERICAN gambling sites?? LIRL!

but I can see the "gambling" part, but WHO THE FUCK CARES?!?!??!

this reminds me of when they took at all the machines out of the gas stations a few years back..

[JuicedCpe]

Hell there are still machines in gas stations all over the place. I know of many of them that are still sitting there and being used constantly.

(sarcasm)

well think of the billions in tax dollars the gov't is losing; which could be applied to our 200+ billion debt we now have for iraq... GO BUSH!

(sarcasm x2)

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

well they should just make a deal to be able to tax them, instead of banning them...

why they tax us for everything as it is...

you work and you are taxed, you buy/rent/lease and you are taxed, you gain something and they want a piece of that too... :2up:

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

so they tax IA Paul???


gov't wants control of EVERYTHING... but I think their just pissed that the smarter companies outsourced, so they can avoid being raped with taxes...

now I can understand why they have million dollar pots online, b/c they haven't paid taxes! and thats the gimmick to get everyone over

a. I don't nor have I ever used an internet gambling site

b. I think this is a waste of time

c. if people want to stop this VOTE!!!

d. who proposed this legislation? I bet some Dems are for it, and you won't hear anything about them.

e. is there a "Lobby" for the vegas casinos? if so did they push for this? b/c it would stand to reason people might play poke online "instead" of going to vegas.

voting is fucking retarded (i vote as well but there is no point) and i'll tell you why:

1) its not who has the most votes its who counts the votes

2) your vote doesn't even count for shit... you vote someone into office to vote for you... :thinking:

ps. republicans introduced and pushed this piece of legislation.

[ORGANIZATIONXIII]

yeah, I don't care, I vote... and it don't make no damn difference..

fuck the constituents.. LIRL.....

Vegas is gonna make money regardless, most the people who play online is for entertainment.. you may not have the time, they do.. and plus not many people can TRAVEL out there to gamble....

just buy an xbox360, live, wsop and play that way... same shit, but no money transferred?

ok, sure.

I wasn't saying that reps. didn't start this. I'm saying they didn't do it "alone".

If you mean the electoral college, that's for President/Vice President only. All other elections are popular vote.

If you mean for legislation.. if there was a vote for every single issue that comes along nothing would ever get done. Greece was a true democracy and it failed pretty badly. Republics work well but there is not enough accountability in ours and there need to be strict term limits, too.

i understand that and you just restated my point.... your not actually voting on anything other then who is in office. which goes back to my point... i hate when people say YOU VOTE OF DIE; it doesn't matter b/c track record for voting basically stays the same... (example \/)
