We brag about our freedom yet; Why are we the only country that online Poker is illegal?
Posted on February 18th, 2010 by admin
I have become a criminal at 60+, I play online Poker for real money. Yesterday I won twenty eight cents. Just to prove a point that its not so much the money to me as it is about my freedoms!
I would play for more money but my bank won’t transfer the funds to a poker site.
What do you think about this?
I play poker online and know people who have decided to take some money out. It gets complicated but it’s not illegal.
As for what we call "freedom", now there’s a huge difference in what we’ve been allowed to do in the U.S. that you can see every 10 years. My Top 10 Dumbest Non-Freedoms List:
1. Hospitals have to go broke saving the lives of criminals, and charge the difference to law abiding people (blaming $60 aspirin on insurance companies).
2. Selling is legal, sex is legal, but somehow, selling sex is illegal. I’m not even for it, but I don’t understand it. It’s spooky enough that it seems to be legal to barter for sex yet it’s not legal to avoid overinflated unkept I.O.U. promises that we strangely call "dollars" like they have weight or value.
3. People supposedly have to have a license to drive down their neighborhood street in their own car.
4. Government is allowed to borrow money at all, let alone borrow it from foreign nations.
5. Inflation. Or is this what they mean in Title 18 where it says arson is illegal, murder is illegal, and "illegal counterfeiting" is illegal?
6. We somehow elect a questionable character as President who apparently has shown less proof he is who he is than if I was to attempt to play Pop Warner football.
7. It’s actually debatable in courts now for people to consider what it takes to make marrying trees and rocks and animals legal.
8. People getting free money for doing nothing get to vote for more free money for themselves, or find a stooge to take up their cause because somehow there’s money in it!
9. Adding the concept of "Hate Crime" in addition to a murder. People kill each other because they like them now?
10. No one ever asks why nearly all our major Presidential candidates were part of the same club in college, and we don’t even trust the club or even think that its members are good people.
