poker players, specifically young online ones, are conservative and closed-minded. [/ QUOTE ] based on my experience, i'd say this is pretty much the opposite of right (aka wrong). but congratulations for finding one example |

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? |

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 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. |
