  So i just watched Hop with the kids. Does that make the writers/producers and actors terrorist for openly snubbing working at the TSA looking at ads for work?
  
  I really got a laugh out of it too; come and get me, come and get me, come and get me.

  Re: Stocks vs Poker

  I also beg to differ on the lobby portion. We have not had a need to for a while but some of the best known names in poker have more then impressive stats on there resumes besides the bb win ratio in there.

  Well

  I was wondering if this was going to happen since they started talking about mooo & craigs when they were still start-ups and the supposed online gambling restrictions.
  
  I am to make a happy living playing online poker and the one I play at updated and poof still online. Makes one wonder if the trickle effect comes into play here.
  
  Turn on the faucet of oppressive actions and ya get an obvious reaction. Ya drip water in the bucket and people build a bigger bucket.
  
  Can you imagine if they locked the accounts? Capture of Trillions of legal (as the definition stands) assets. I'm pretty sure the entirety of The Mouth's Rage will be the least of there issues.

  Gameful might be another one considering meta-gaming is pretty new field and the prizes aren't bad ither. I'll be dismissive if I didn't mention that they are also one of the most crowd-sourced projects in existence.

  Re: Re: This site is just out of touch.

  Speaking of cognitive dissonance DH you might be suffering some on Feelings.
  
  For further thoughts refer to a thinker.

  He's going to say it a lot better than I but when a person comes to a conclusion about something they usually follow through with it, regardless if it was an emotional or moral cause.
  
  Though your arguments are valid the premise might need some work. Just a thought.

  Re:

  Making profit is not a crime. That includes the fruits of ones own body. Your spin is that its "treating them" Like they didn't have a choice in the matter.
  
  Define entertainment and define self-gratification.
  
  As for not understanding I get that. It's called cognitive dissonance. Do not know how to deal with an issue unless made aware of it.
  
  No harm when its there choice. No harm when we watch. No harm in a axiom world view that sex is a fundamental need, not a want. Should be [fill in blank] avoided is a moral argument. On top of there being no harm the industry it provides is a boon not a detriment to society.
  
  Now all those can be said conclusively but I have a pretty good idea (that can change given new input) that the average person deprived of a fundamental thing can and will seek it elsewhere. Hopefully without violence.

  Had an apifiny this morning

  Somewhere in this field of dreams someone said make your own music! Listen to that, problem solved.
  
  So do you think adding a short ditty on my tin whistle to all my music will enable me when brought to court for "piracy" and defending myself by questioning is it a courts purview to deem what is and isn't art.
  
  Side tracked here so many times, thought I will contribute.
