Nike and hundreds of other companies employ 13 year old slave laborers in Indonesia, Bangladesh, and so on.

I think this is a good counter-point.

No its not. Partly because the practice (which I'm thinking is overstated in his post) is not widely known. And partly because a certain minimum age law IS an example of something that might be right for the US but not for certain other countries. When Nike employs 15 year old teens at 25 cents an hour they make sure that they can point out to their parents and concerned Americans that it is because of them that their twelve year old doesn't have to work for a dime an hour.
In the case of of internet poker the same does not apply. I know for instance from the SMP forum that British people are not that backward. So if internet poker is bad for us it is bad for them too. Like I said, I don't even think this issue has even been thought about much. So I hope someone will read this thread and suggest the pointed question I broached earlier to ask Harrah's publicity director Jan Jones.
