Not old enough to remember the "be all you can be" Army songs ????

Then you are perfect to join the armed services you can use your sign up bonus for bankroll and you can actually pull yourself from the computer.

At first suntan lotion will be a must because sunlight might kill you. But after that and basic you will have friends.

Don't waste you life in front of the computer screen join now. Army Navy Airforce coast guard. Join the boyscouts if you have too.

But online poker will give you pale skin, zits, a big belly and no life. Your already at the no life part.

whats with all the army recruitment [censored] in psych

just stop trying to reach the top step of the financial ladder and be satisfying with being a bit lower. itll benefit your mind, body, and soul.

That [censored] happens...get a new girlfriend...play on a sports team...whatever it is you are in to is going to cut into your free time. Poker also takes up alot of time...more so than many things....
Do you play live? That is even more time consuming, especially when the best times are weekend nights.
Think of it as the sacrifice you make for poker greatness!

Not army recruitment. Any Armed Services Recruitment. WHY!!!

Read the OP which is obvious YOU did not. It says nothing about mind body and soul it talks about social life.

Try reading OP once in a while before you post

Speaking of army songs, I always recall Bob Dylan's "Masters of War" when I read govman6767's endless posts promoting the US Army:

I like BD in general. At the same time, it's pretty easy to be critical about [whatever] when you're sitting around getting high, playing folk songs on a guitar, and pretty much living through the sexual revolution.

A lot of these same peace/love types who were crying to end the war were the same people calling troops baby-killers, and spitting on them in airports when they returned. How FOS can you get?

whats this "social life" you speak of?

I recently learned how to take a break and read a book, it was enlightening and disturbing, i recommend that we all just stay in our shell and pretend that mainstream media is not controlling our thoughts.
WHATEVER U DOO.. don't read Chomsky!!!!

Just for clarification, I'm not an American, a peacelover or a pacifist, etc. You could describe my political stance simply as a 'socialist' but this is not the real issue.

With all my respect for Govman's efforts, i think he takes advantage of every opportunity to evangelize his political opinions. Although I believe that most of the things in our lives are closely related with politics, we should look for a proper groung for political discussions. And obviously, Psychology forum of 2+2 is not the proper ground.

In despite of my very little contribution, I love to read 2+2 forums because of my admiration to this beautiful game called 'poker'. Please acknowledge my astonishment when someone insistently suggests us to join the army as an answer to most of our problems, which are voiced in poker forums.

Someone asks us about the relation between our social lifes and poker. He strikes again: "Join the army!!". Someone complains about a bad beat.. Join the army, then you will see the real bad-beat [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]).. Someone complains about his poor bankroll management.. As Bob Dylan once said, "No reason to get excited," here comes the solution: Join the army! You won't even have enough time to rack your brain on where to spend. etc..

One thing I have learned from poker, taking yourself too seriously is the absolute way to lose.

A little empathy, please..
