Well today is day one here in Wa. state

BadCo · Jun 7, 2006

June 7th we are no longer allowed to make inernet wagers or be charged with a felony.

We could be charged the same as downloading kiddie porn or sending threatning e-mails to the goverment according to t.v. news reports.

What shall I do place a wager on Cubs game in the comfort of my home and risk it or shall I go to one of the many Indian casinos that riddle our state.

Play some table games or some cards then buy a carton of smokes and oh yea buy a fistful of fireworks on my way out.

i love finances. if a gambling bill was introduced in my state and i couldn't bet i would just be as happy with stocks. i give the edge to gambling now because you get immediate results instead of short to long term results.

when bubba asks "what you in for"?

when you respond with internet gambling, they'll think you're the scum of the earth and knock the shitt outta you twice as much as a pediphile. that'll teach you a lesson not to click the mouse

you guys voted these people in so you'll have to live with it or leave.

I know for one that if they intoduced anything like that in canada I'd sell up and move to the UK or anywhere else that had common sense laws on this issue.

For me it's not a big deal because I'm not immersed into it as much as some. I'm not going to go to jail for it, put it that way. If legislation is passed in my state or a gambling bills passes nationwide I will stop. I can live without it.
