BadCo said:Devils advocate is:
It;s way out of control from say 20 years ago as i didn;t get my first bookie till I was 32 and married,though I did gamble via card games,horses and Tahoe, but not everyday.
Todays college kids don;t need the 2 bit campus bookie just the click of a mouse.
So the addicton is rampet and they come out of school with student loans and this monkey on thier back.
How many college kids have come and gone on this forum and others.
But they pay thier dues and wise up no different than 20 years ago,just there are more of us now.

We are going through a consolidation period in offshore gambling right now. The offshore business is busy adapting, restructuring and reorganizing. This business draws enough revenue to become a fortune 100 company. It will not be denied and that money will NOT be left on the table. The US government is pissing in the wind. Did you notice the new legislation was exceptionally careful to avoid making offshore gambling illegal?
Be patient. Ride the storm out. This too shall pass and things will be better than ever.
Good luck, boys.

deucedeuce said:That is a really bad defense for sports betting, its great that you hit a streak and even better you put the money to good use, but pushing gambling as a source of income is about the worst thing you could ever do.

Look what happened to Jay C.....had nothing to do with law.....show me where the US Govt. had any jurisdiction over that case? The law means nothing....the G can do whatever it wants.....until it is stopped. Wisen up people......and keep voting Republican....soon they'll have them cameras Orwell predicted.....everywhere. Good Luck to all!
I will agree that the majority of both parties are CON artists (pun definitely intended),but it has been the republicans that have been heralding themselves since the early 90's as the party of Moralists, with their we are 'better than they' type attitude. So, whether it be Republicans caught seeking young men or Republicans inserting anti-gambling legislation onto an anti-terrorist bill in a last-minute secret session, their hypocritical attitudes/platitudes need to be checked and shouted about from the rooftops. Their perfidy needs to be put in check.Whoson1st said:I agree with you over all . But don't think it really has much to do with Reps-Dems. It's got to be an individual person at the bottom of it all. For instance..Take a look at Hillary Clinton. In her college days, I've read where she was a Goldwater Conservative... Today? You tell me what she.." It Takes a Village" (her book).
Most of these folks are simply con artists that have a lot of polish and even more money to get their way. Nothing to do with a Dem-Rep.
That's true, I had forgotten that. You have to remember though, all of the Cons that used to be Dems in the South all went over to the Carpetbagging Republican Party and made their ancestors jump around in their graves over their hypocrisy! LOL.uppy:Whoson1st said:When I was a kid growing up in the country. The Democrats were more of the religious --right wing- type folks. They were preceived that way. It's as stupid of course as can be. Vote AGAINST all incumbants--maybe one or two will get a clue.
