Poker Should Be Banned
Ever think of how many people me [censored]? Have we caused a divorce? probably... Hey I'm not for it getting banned, but we poker players have [censored] so many people out of money they shouldn't be gambling with... at least we know it is helping some people out

Re: Poker Should Be Banned
They are either going to gamble it away to you... Or to a casino playing craps or baccarat.
I would rather they give it to me.

Re: Poker Should Be Banned
but if there is one less way to blow their money... out of the million people who have that problem, that will help out someone. And that makes a difference
Learn to see something positive in everything

Re: Poker Should Be Banned
Sounds like you have a major guilt complex. Sure, we are helping all 87 people who will cause divorces and bankruptcy for themselves, but wouldn't it have been better to ban something like tobacco that causes thousands of deaths a year? (By the way, I smoke).
What you are suggesting is that the poker lifestyle is predatory, that it feeds on the poor, addicted, degenerate, and incapicated, and that a bill preventing it will at least help these people. And by that argument you imply that people who take YEARS to learn their expertise and skill are unrightfully using fishes to earn their living. If that is your view, you might as well condemn all of business in general. Grow up, man. Poker doesn't cause divorces and bankruptcy. Idiots do. Frist wants to protect families while allowing online horse betting and lotteries. Coming from a guy that is being investigated for other issues, this is pretty silly. You wanna argue for banning all gambling and everything else that 'hurts' humanity, you should find a better forum.
