Re: CBS columnist bashes gambling, WSOP

You'll hear about the sunglass-wearing and absurdly named Chris Moneymaker, whose victory in the 2003 World Series of Poker helped pull that event out from under its rock. [/ QUOTE ] What's so absurd about this??? That is the man's name afterall...

Re: CBS columnist bashes gambling, WSOP
[ QUOTE ]
He has a point. [/ QUOTE ] No, he doesn't. Adults can do with their money what they like. If they're not able to play responsibly, it's no one's fault but their own. I was a pretty bad drug addict from like 18-21 and had to go to rehab and then started attending 12-step meeting to clean my life up. You know who's fault it was that I got hooked on drugs so bad? Not my family, or my friends, or the government for letting drugs into the country, or all the beer adds, etc. It was my fault. When I took responsibility for my life, then I was able to clean my act up and stop acting like a worthless [censored]. Drugs aren't inherently bad, I just can't use them. It's not them, it's me. We should be free in this country, and that includes the freedom to be a degenerate if you so choose. There are resources available for people with addiction problem, including gambling, so I don't wanna hear any [censored] about them not being able to help it. There's help available, they choose not to use it. I don't know why anyone should feel guilty about that. Is it sad? Sure. However, it's a big bad world out there, and people have to grow up and take responsibility for their actions. /rant off

I would guess that the fact that Gates and other billionaires are sitting on a fat stack offsets the many "average" Americans who are thousands in debt.

Re: CBS columnist bashes gambling, WSOP
Jeez.
Simple solution- Which 10 days of the WSOP are filled with "naked greed"? Just avoid those days and play the rest. Oh, and the circuit events should safe also. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
