   Oh, but it's ok to play the lottery.
   
   Just no 'Non-Official' gambling. Soon it will be no 'Non-Official' Speech, or no 'Non-Official' food.

   Re:

   Really, the US government should stop wasting it's time trying to fight online gambling. There are problems in the world and online gambling isn't one of them.

   Never did understand that?

   Gambling is simple a game of risk played with money.
   
   I don't understand why, if its so bad to bet on sports or other things do we allow:
   
   The Entire State of Nevada
   Any sort of Lottery
   Native American Casinos
   Casino Cruises to no where
   The Stock Market
   The mutual fund market
   The futures market
   or any currency market
   
   Isn't all the same, you can lose you a$$ or win big in any of these things. So why single out online gambling? could it be because the government is not getting its piece of the action, like it does (directly or indirectly) from the rest.
   
   It just seems like hypocrisy to me.

   Re: Re: wasting time

   It's not a case of politicians wasting time. It's politicians paying back donors for their generous contributions, and future lobbying jobs.

   My Opinion is:

   Who cares about gambling! Worry about "hardcore" drugs that take needles, global warming and the price of gas! THAT is something time worthy! Gambling? So what! Online gambling just means when you lose the shirt off your back, you have to mail it to them! ;P

   Online Gambling

   The US law is so stupid...
   You cant put a gate around the Internet....Bush is an idiot and so are the Senate and Congress.
   So, porn is ok I suppose?
   Is this some law that was funded by casinos in Vegas and Atlantic City to protect their interests?
   Trump, Wynn, and others involved?
   You betcha...the "law" is nothing but just bribes being paid to top officials...BIG MONEY being passed from Vegas to congressman...the guy who wrote the bill, I can guarantee you took lots of bribes....

   neteller

   FOr neteller it wasn't about gambling. It was about money laundering and tax avoidance. They went to great lengths to move money around many countries under false company names. They even had the balls to publish in their prospectus that their business violates US law. And why isn't every executive with this company in jail? Money talks. Why is it that 2 bit uneducated black american fill jails for stealing less than $25? No money.
