  1. I can't believe that the discussion of gambling legality even exists in this country. Let people do what the fuck they want with their money. It boggles my mind.Oh yea.....Ron Paul.
  2. Global warming, harsh winters....not mutually exclusive.on another note...."China has largely avoided unrest throughout the crisis, in part due to the 519,000 soldiers and more than 1.6 million paramilitary police that have been deployed throughout the country to help with disaster relief and crowd control."HOLY SHIT....could've used that type of efficiency with Katrina!
  3. Obama still voted for the Patriot Act, has voted for every Iraq funding bill, would've voted for the authorization and still takes lots of money from special interests....change? He just loves using that word...along with "hope", "future", "progress" etc...makes people feel all warm inside. What is he actually gonna change? I agree that the biggest thing he'll change is the perception of America which I believe is really important, but as for policy...not gonna happen. Don't get me wrong, I'll take him over Clinton or any of the Republicans (except for RP) but let's not pretend he really
  4. I'll give you something that both rich and poor can be equally mad about.The income tax goes directly towards paying off the INTEREST on LOANS that the US Government borrows from the PRIVATE INSTITUTION called the FEDERAL RESERVE.
  5. I find it pretty ridiculous that a politician is in a Coke commercial...period.I Can't wait until the president of the United States is wearing suits with corporate logos and endorsements on the back. Anyone seen Idiocracy?Hi, I'm Secretary of State - brought to you by Carl's Junior - "Fuck off, I'm eating"
  6. Thought this was kinda funny... http://www.ipoopdaily.com/2008/01/25/giuli...-behind-mccain/
  7. The question should be raised as to why 200,000 veterans are homeless on any given day. Upwards of 400,000 experience homelessness at some point during the year. A legitimate question? I think so...
  8. Indeed...still sick though.
  9. Last nights debate was fucking disgusting.The ignorance these candidates displayed was baffling. It made me sick how both the moderators and other candidates were treating Ron Paul. He's the only true conservative on that stage. The rest are war-mongering dimwits unaware of economic structure, foreign policy history, or the principles of the constitution.Romney: "I think Ron Paul needs to stop reading Ahmadinejad's press releases" - with regards to the speadboat incident when Ron Paul was advising caution about all the aggressive rhetoric.Thompson: "...one more step and they would've been
  10. He's for absolute free trade (with the world obv) and is for lifting many of the embargoes and sanctions we've implemented against certain countries. How is that isolationism? Non-intervention is the correct term.
  11. Those remarks were from a 1992 collective newsletter with Paul's name attached to it. I'm not saying he's not responsible for the words that were written, but he did immediately clarify and reassure he has no racist intent. He said "They were never my words, but I had some moral responsibility for them.....It wasn't my language at all. Other people help me with my newsletter as I travel around....I think the one on Barbara Jordan was the saddest thing...we wanted to do something on affirmative action, and it ended up in the newsletter and became personalized. I never personalize anything."He a
  12. I have a feeling it's pretty simple...2 accounts, reload one and dump it to your other? Rinse and repeat.Edit: oh, skipped the "not playing a hand" part. Still works though.
  13. Jesus.Iraq did not attack us on 911. Al Qaeda is a small part of the problem in Iraq. 911 and the Iraq war are not related.
  14. This is very good advice...because the dealer didn't actually acknowledge action from me, which sometimes if the table is running well they won't acknowledge everything but in this case I could've used it in my argument.-----------Normally if a situation arises like this, whether I've been involved or not, the rest of the table is quite accomodating and generally goes along with the persons intent...as long as it's not totally blatant (in my case, there wasn't even anything to interpret - just lifted my hand to grab chips). Ocassionally you get some douches like this though. Oh well...thanks
  15. The dealer was male. The floor ended up looking at us with a blank face so I just decided to not carry this thing on any longer and disrupt the whole table...I just said "whatever, it's 2 on 1...this is ridiculous, I'll play the check and let's move on." River came a blank and I led out $40. Both players folded, player 1 for some reason confirmed what I suspected by folding 2 hearts face up and Player 2 I believe had something like K10.@ Snamuh: haha...I'm just saying I had both hands on the table and I wasn't fidgeting....so any movement I made was clear and free from interpretation. *T
  16. He wasn't reprimanded, I didn't bring it up to the floor. It was like this player knew that the dealer wasn't really paying attention and took advantage of the situation....it was pretty ridiculous.
  17. So I was playing some $5-150 at Casino Arizona recently and this situation came up:I'm in the sb with , late position raises to $20, CO calls, Button folds, I call. Board comes :D and I check. The original raiser checks as does the CO. Turn brings a I have my palms facing down on the felt and I lift my right hand to grab chips from my top stack. Player 1 (raiser) checks and Player 2 immediatly checks behind before I could even put my bet out. The dealer is watching the TV screen behind me and starts to deal the river. I quickly stop him and say "hold on, hold on I never checked.

    I was in LA over the weekend and driving back to PHX the winds were SO INSANE! I saw about 5 trucks and semis blown off the road and tipped over within a 3 mile stretch. Such a surreal sight with the sky really orange/gray...We had to go 40mph or slower for much of the drive until we got past Palm Springs.
  20. I grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa which has some of the worst crime in the world. In 2002 their murder rate was the world's highest, assaults and rapes are still up there, and car jackings are astronomically high etc. Every single family I know out there has at least one family member who's been hijacked or robbed at gunpoint. Too many to count have had family members murdered. The wealthy neighborhoods had electric fences and/or guards at their gates, big dogs etc. Many houses, like ours, were built so that the bedrooms were all situated on one side of the house and gated/locked of

  22. I'm registered as an Independent and voted for Kerry. I'll most likely register as a Republican so I can vote in the primaries.
  23. Former head of the CIA's bin Laden unit, Michael Scheuer, said of Paul's statements: "Last week, Representative Paul did all Americans an immense service by simply pointing out the obvious: Our Islamist enemies do not give a damn about the way we vote, think, or live.... We are indeed hated and being warred against because we are 'over there,' and not for what we are and how we live. Our failure to recognize the truth spoken by Mr. Paul – and spelled out for us in hundreds of pages of statements by Osama bin Laden since 1996 – is leading America toward military and economic disaster....There's
