poker players, specifically young online ones, are conservative and closed-minded.

based on my experience, i'd say this is pretty much the opposite of right (aka wrong). but congratulations for finding one example

op ur summing up all online players because of a couple of idiot's comments? y dont u just some up all white people cuz of the KKK, or all black people cuz a couple of them do drive by? seriously dont be so nieve

i agree, don't be 'nieve'

seriously though, i think there are alot less PC comments in forums in general because it is easy to get away with.
i doubt most 2+2 ers are that different from other people.

OP - koolcatkass is an idiot. an SNG hack who's DEFINATELY not a pro.

secondly i think that blog was a joke in response to the outlash from another blog of his where everyone got mad at something else he said. with that said i think its the dumbest joke ever. and if its not a joke then he is the most worthless person ive ever heard of.

either way this guy is such a joke that i cant believe youd consider that he could represent how thousands of other people think/behave.

see the irony?

Congrats on being liberal and open minded. You have managed to take this guy's blog and characterize millions of poker players as racists.
Oops, that sounds a little closed minded...

I'm not sure it's "conservative and close-minded," rather many (not most, but many) of the 18-25 yr-old internet hot shots are just a-holes.

Generalizing more, a bunch of decently educated, quite possibly socially stunted, upper-middle class white kids who have a (relative) lot of money and some degree of success, without really "working" (in the traditional sense) at it, and it's completely unsurprising that a certain segment are self-absorbed and unbelievably narcissistic and arrogant.

For some, this manifests itself as the quoted bit of Tancredo-ism, for others, well you can hear them yelling "Ship it, Holla" from time to time...

I thought I made it obvious that I wasn't taking one person's opinion and characterizing the entire online community. I had just seemed to run across a similiar mentality several times and used this as one example.

Also, I don't understand the rudeness of some of the comments. The point of the post is simply to see what other people think of the subject in an open forum.

I like the way you assume conservative = closed-minded. Nice one, idiot.

Who cares about any of this?
