Who said anything about segregating them?

You. Let me point out where you made them a separate group-

Its a subset of this group ... their "issues" overlap with non-religious "nanny-staters"... Neither group is a majority in the US...

[/ QUOTE ]

Now you tell me these minority groups you segregated have threatened to arrest and jail me because their religion tells them so, just like in Iran? Wow they are getting powerful!

We better keep an eye on these "right-wing Christians" and "nanny-staters". My question is how can I better identify these "extreme" groups of people when I see/hear them, so that I can be sure to loathe the proper groups for their threats and impositions like you do? And then, how do we end their power and stop their threats to throw me in their "jail (or worse)"?

Wouldnt you have more fun just calling me names rather than pretending to respond satirically to an argument I am not making?

Or are you one of those people that God has revealed all truth to?

I concur. Remember late last year when all of us 2+2ers were glued to C-Span and up all night posting on this forum, on a Friday night? The rest of the country was out at the movies, out getting hammered, etc. The whole "UIGEA" thing was hardly even a front-page issue in most newspapers; reporting on the matter was for the most part buried somewhere under a powdered soap ad on page 22.

The vast majority of U.S. citizens couldn't care any less about the UIGEA, assuming that they even know about it in the first place.

I'm not a fan of gambling being banned, but I wish there was some way to regulate it... I've seen too many forms of degen.

I think that you'd be surprised at the percentage of high-profile 2+2ers and professional online players who would agree with you on both points. The problem is, if you ban something then you forfeit much of your ability to influence the way those who continue to do business run their operations.
