I'm getting interviewed on TV - help me!

I agree with the poster on the sad state of TV news. Even CNN dumbs it down these days and the contrived banter really makes me puke. I can only stomach C-Span and occasionally the BBC.

I have to say that the issue shouldn't be whether or not prohibition "works" but `whether the the interference with individual freedom is justified. Prohibition of alcohol probably did save some lives and if it didn't stop alcohol consumption one could argue that it should have been enforced more strongly. The reason it was overturned I hope was that people wanted to drink, and the few who can't control their addiction are out of luck, just like those who can't control their eating. Prohibition was championed by religious fanatics as well.

I liked how he made a not-so-subtle comparison of Absolute to a crack dealer. First you get your free fix, then you're hooked. LOL.

its weird how much people value money.

a local college student had a gambling debt of FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS OMG!!!! would be funny to see a news story on BBV.

Leave it to the Media to find someone who ran up credit card debt and then robbed a bank. Some people do the same thing at Walmart, they gonna ban that too?

Give me a freaken break. The key here is that we are adults and if I want to lose money playing poker online. That's my business. I'd rather do that just because the government doesn't want me to, rather then playing the lottery, bingo, scratch off's or those damn video poker machines which are avaliable anywhere almost here in Louisiana.

Sites stake you after you become a member of the generation of gamblers. Deal me in if the websites are willing to stake me.

Computer saavy gambling children have already found a way around the recently passed law banning credit cards. Paying for something with a payment method other than a credit card... WHAT?????

Yeah, that reporter is a douchebag.

There's a writeup here that talks about the extreme bias of the KDKA reporter.

[SlapPappy]

This dummy reporter mentions that the "high" cost of tuition is driving these students to play poker. Then incorrectly paints poker as the problem. The problem is the high tuition. He also forgets to mention that 98% of debt incurred from college is from huge college loans to cover the high tuition. Sent them a complaint email. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Really sucks that when we go broke playing online poker we will all have to rob a bank.
