sixhands 0 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'm not worried. If I worried about everything politicians say or everytime government tried to scare the general population because they want to ban bottled water then I would be taking medication for an ulcer right about now.What goes around comes around.

mosley 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 it's weird, a lot of poker/gambling sites locate their servers on the Khanawakee(sp?) Indian Reserve in Quebec. i wonder if this counts as operating with the permission of the Canadian government as outlined in section 2.i wish they would just mind their business.i don't know if the bottled water reference was to Vancouver, because city hall is thinking about banning bottled water in city hall to promote our safe, clean tap water. seriously, back off.

timwakefield 68 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Canada sucks! Hahahaha it must suck to live in a country where they regulate shit like that. Move to the US suckers, everything's legal here! Link to post Share on other sites
sloshr 0 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 You Ontario citizens are in real trouble now. This is just the beginning to a sinister plot to part with Canada and become the 51st state. Now you guys won't be able to play at all, just like us. Look at the bright side though. Even after the US finishes their ban on internet gambling, we will still be able to watch ads from the ".net" sites. We are not dumb enough to turn down that revenue.(sw), because we are dumb enough to turn down the revenue, they just haven't thought of it yet. Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know what NAFTA stands for? Do you have any clue where ANY of these online poker sites are based?The "NA" in NAFTA stands for "North America".Approximately NONE of the big poker sites are based anywhere on the above mentioned continent.And to pluralize a word ending in Y, you use IES....It's not "free countrys" , it is free COUNTRIES.or it's not "gaming company's" it's gaming COMPANIES.When you finish grade 7 english, and have an idea what you're talking about(I won't even get in to the your/you're thing...) please come back and post again.--oh and they're not LOOSING money, either.they may be LOSING it, however.
