Re: Why does 2+2 call poker gambling?
The distinction is far from inconsequential Zetack. Separating poker from online slots (and similar games) would negate virtually every argument the FOF folks and the "gambling is dangerous" folks use against us.
Think how much was accomplished by the linguistic change from "[censored]" to "gays" and from "ni**er" to "blacks" and from "inheritence tax" to "death tax" - the examples are legion....
The point is that if you can change the language you can change the thinking.
This is a basic principle of linguistic philosophy. Read some Wittgenstein or Chomsky (on linguistics ONLY). If thats too intellectual for you, just remember the words to John Lennon's "Mind Games."
And if its just that you dont like the words I have suggested, come up with better ones!
