Well I think it is a good thing. And yes it does protect Casinos, but it also protects those too weak minded to control their gambling addiction who do not live around casinos. A somone noted the online casinos seem to be offshore, so those who still have to gamble will be spending less money abroad and more here.
Perhaps not a great big good thing, but I will settle for what I consider any good thing from Bush.
Why is it the governments job to protect weak minded people?
I agree Care. I think its painfully obvious. What really pisses me off is when you have congressmen on their high horses talking about how they "saved" us from the evils of internet gambling.
And I think the govt should deregulate most things, but they are not going to.Well I think the solution here is to deregulate gambling completely and keep it moving. I don't need big brother, I mean big business telling me I can't gamble online.
I belive the government should not protect people from themselves, but if someone is forcing you into something or you have limited ability to stop them that is a different story!
So you agree that this was a PAYOFF to their american casino contributors...and how do you know this... did you just pull it out of your a$$ or maybe the thin air?
"The American Gaming Association, the industry's largest lobby, has opposed online gambling in the past but recently backed a study of the feasibility of regulating it."

see how easy that is. Someone asks you a question and you provide a source for your assertions.
they ONLY did this because they were paid off to protect the usa gambling businesses....
the internet gambling done by the usa are with foreign casinos
this was a PAYOFF to their american casino contributors...
No..sorry it doesnt work that way lady's ..if the link was provided in Care4all's original post than maybe. it was painfully obvious that you both were pulling your assertions out of your ass. And it is somewhat supported by this link in that it proves squat shit ...it is only an opinion.
By the way Lady T .... you didnt score any points in yesterdays discussion.... you dont score points by not admitting that the person you are in discussion with is answering your questions.. thats simply a classless way to hold a discussion...
Apparently you're still sore on being called out for pulling numbers out your a$$ yesterday. I'm flattered actually that you ego was so hurt that you had to rehash the thread in a completely unrelated thread 24 hours later. Kudos to me for handing you your a$$.
This topic isn't new. Its been discussed before. There are many links that substantiate an assertion that the casino industry is against this and has fully supported this measure since it was proposed. I'm sure even you are capable of googling.
Now please: man-up and either do the reasearch and give me a reasonable derivation for the 33% you originally stated or explicitely state that its a complete guess pulled from your @$$. Otherwise I'll consider you thoroughly owned.

ownage goes to tiana imo! girl power!
though i will say that there are SOME dems that may be the way the repubs were, but klaatu pulled the 33% out of his rear.....with no support.
Who the hell are you to tell somone they are classless, and decide what the rules are for when someone supplies a link?
