dont play 10cent poker in your own home but its ok to put your entire net worth on a spin of a roulette wheel and lets continue to allow credit companies to extend credit until people bankrupt themselves several times overand lets continue to allow children to have all the unlimited access to porn, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, weapons they can get their hands on. bottom line make sure our government gets its cut and anything goes.

Im just saying, if we are going to go around banning stuff, poker isn't the biggest stumbling block to a man's marriage.

I think everyone should be sterilized that way no new babies would show up who could potentially have their lives ruined by something in our society.

I trust that these people are old enough to make their own decisions. The only person responsible for losing (or winning) money gambling is the individual who did it. Not who they lost it to. Not who they won it from.

Poker is just like anything else in life. You make a choice. There is a consequence, good or bad. Sometimes you don't know exactly what that consequence will be, but it happens. There's even a saying for that. It's called, "You take what you want, and you pay for it."

Those people could have paid their bills. They could have gone to marriage counseling. They could have bought their spouse flowers, maybe taken their girlfriends out to dinner instead of chucking their money online. They could have hooked up with a spouse who didn't mind them gambling. Whatever.

They had a choice, and they chose to gamble.

If they weren't meeting their responsibilities because they were playing internet poker, I'm sure they will find some other way to avoid meeting those responsibilities. They've already demonstrated what their priorities aren't, and that's not my problem. Nor is it my business.

Why in the world should anyone feel responsible for what someone else does with their own money? Besides, that money was helping *me* out [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
