thechad5 0 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Ok so aparently I was living under a rock for the past month as I havent made a neteller deposit since before Christmas, but I guess they dont allow you to put money on PStars anymore. Ive been trying to find a way to play by searching the forums for alternatives, but I must not be looking in the right place.So....What the hell am I supposed to do now? Do I have to go through some elaborate series of leg work in order to put $25 onto Pokerstars now or is there another way to just remove the money from my checking account? Now I will rant:I hate the government and it makes me sick that they get away with such an overly unconstitutional way of telling us how to spend our money. Aren't we supposed to vote on things like these? I work everyday at a state regulated horse track where people start drinking at 10 A.M. on a tuesday. The government actually regulates a place where you can cash in your state welfare tracks in order to blow it all betting on whether or not one oversized uninteligent mamal is faster than another. Yet, after making an honest living while never even watching a race or placing a bet in two years, I cannot go home and deposit only $25 to play poker for over a month or more at a time. It seems so far from right that it should redifine the word wrong or create a new word that combines disgusting hypocracy and the oppresion upon others of some out of touch white haired slave owner's rediculous beliefs. This country is unmistakably divided now more than ever, yet the only voices that get heard these days are those of people who have never spent more than a day doing actual work, living lives virtually unaffected by any of the laws they dictate to their constiuents. Which leads me to ask why do they view online poker as wrong? What in their lives says that this is not the way I can spend the money that I earn even though I pay them the 20% that I am required to. If they say I have to give them x amount of my paycheck what right do they have to say what I do with the rest? To get a little patriotic, wasnt this country founded so people could avoid persecution for their beliefs? The U.S. was founded by a group of people searching for a place where they could avoid persecution for their beliefs. Yet, a group of empowered people decided that what they believe to be wrong is in fact wrong and that because they believe it to be wrong no one else should be allowed to do it. Im sure everything they did was techinically "legal", but the principle seems more along the lines of oppresion and that is the exact opposite of the principles in which this country was founded. Which begs the question, what the hell do we do about it? When does the line officially get crossed to the point where everyone has to stand up and fight? And more importantly who even cares that this is happening? While writing this I have gone from fearcly angry to defeatedly sad because I know that ultimately my opinion won't be heard as I am just a 25 year entry level worker, who wasnt born into weath which in the eyes of our government somehow makes me less of a person. Good to talk to you all againChad Link to post Share on other sites

It's basically a hotplate that resembles a pan with a lid on, you plug it in, let it heat up, and dip the pan into the crepe batter. Just enough batter sticks to the pan, and they are done in seconds. Freaking awesome. Link to post Share on other sites

king_nothing_ 0 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I'm just wondering...are there any mods on this forum? I find it pretty sad that members on here are allowed to ruin a thread to this extent. Someone asks a pretty straightforward question, and everyone starts talking about cooking to deliberately derail the thread all to hell. Grow up please.I'm not sure what you're problem is. Maybe you don't like this thread because you think his question was stupid, or because the answer has been posted many times before and he should have used the search feature. If that's the case, then it would seem more sensible to me to tell him what he did wrong rather than mindlessly spamming his thread like you just did. Link to post Share on other sites
