Default Re: What Europena Court for Human Rights ruled about online gamling

Hey American, I underlined this:

<u>"Quoted text is the argument of European Court against hypocrisy states, becaused they allowed state owned lotteris, but banned other forms of gambling."</u>

So maybe this argument about hypocrisy can be used on US court as well. (I know that decision of our courts aren't precedents for US courts, lol? I posted this because of hypocrisy argument, which obviously worked on our court.)

Unfortunately, there is no anti-hypocrisy clause in our constitution. If there were, most of our legislators and judges would be out of work or behind bars.

There isn't an anti-hypocrisy clause in our laws either. But there are many others from which you can derive this.
Perhaps this is a topic in which lawyers should respond.

No, it's a cultural thing. In European courts we use logic. In American courts they use beliefs, values and shamanism.

If Europeans fear an American monopoly on ignorance and pride it is only because they hold the patents.

I give you two world wars, countless genocides, communism, and fascism, as minor evidence, the worlds problems have roots well before the United States ever existed, and debates over national sovereignty, the common law and civil law are ranging far afield.
As poker players we are all in this together, no one person group or nation has an exclusive claim to ignorance, we are all equally guilty, it is the basic human condition, relieve yourselves of your bias, see one another as human beings, then perhaps we can understand one another.
To keep yelling American, European, right wing left wing blah blah blah is as usefull as chanting Fit or Fold everytime you see a flop.
