even if your opponent had QJ which I wouldn't put him on you still have 10 river outs which is better than an open ended straight draw which everyone seems to think you should fold to.

First the soviets were not sitting with their thumbs up their asses. They were aggressively trying to build a soviet empire and spread communism thoughout the world. Look at a map and remember the countries that were only recently under soveit control and what might have been without an aggressive democratic counterweight. Second, we did destroy Iraq and Afghanistan. As a citizen of the US I do feel some amount of responsibility for all of our troops that have died and the Iraqis who have died as a result of our war. But what we destroyed was a regime that had a stranglehold on its people

Ok, keep thinking that. When natural disaster hit, famin, disease the world looks one place and one place only for aide and money....the US. Even when we do, we get slammed for not doing more. We can't win, we develop the technology and you guys ride on our coat tails using it as your own and then you tell us we are the bad guys. You are protected by us and again you won't even lend a hand in redeveloping a country ravaged by a rutheless dictator for years. Really, burry you head in the sand further, you have so many reasons to thank the United States yet all you do is whine how you are s

yes we also sell europe expired milk and eggs gone badyou have a reference for that. Just curious

The blood for oil angle is so overplayed. It would be so much cheaper for us to buy oil than to go to war for it.

We don't give a crap who devellops them, we get them cheaper, that's the point!I'm proud my country invests in health care more than in billion dollar wars.You should care who develops them. Our country rewards investment in technology and development with big profits That allows those drugs to be developed. You benefit from that but it means drugs can be more expensive here. You should be grateful that america does your work for you. And do you really think that your country could afford all these great health care benefits if you didn't live under the umbrella of protection called Ameri

I'd like to second the drug point that was made. All the NEW drug development of drugs happens here in the US by companies like Abbott Labs and Merck. Canada is selling cheap versions of drugs with expired patents thats all.

I think the issue of whether or not you support someone's right to own a gun has a lot to do with the environment you grew up in. I have lived in a medium sized midwestern city for about six years and don't personally own a gun and feel safe enough in my neighborhood that I don't need one. But for the first 17 years of my life I lived in the middle of nowhere miles from the nearest little hick town. We didn't even have 911 service. My dad has plenty of hunting guns and when I was young I found my dad's bed side hand gun. I left it alone because he educated me about guns. Thinking back I'

By the way, chewing makes me nauseous. Chewing hits you with a lot more nicotine than a cigarette does. It will definitely help you quit smoking, but you'll still be addicted to nicotene.

I've got friends who dip to quit smoking. It seems to work for them. If anyone doesn't like the idea of chewing fiber glass, which is totally understandable, there are products that don't have that. Get some Beechnut; it is pretty much just cut up tobbaco leaves in and comes in a pouch and is a lot less intense than Skoal or any of those brands that are shredded super fine and come in the tin and have the fiberglass. I think there's also some stuff that you can get that comes in a small paper or cloth bag that you put in your mouth so that the tobacco doesn't even touch your mouth. In any

I used to work at a restaurant as a busser. We got like $3.15 an hour pay but after tips it was more like $10/hr. But if no one tipped the restaurant is required to make up the pay to at least minimum wage. And if you're not fond of minimum wage you should do something other than unskilled labor jobs. It makes me sick to think that someone dealing cards can make more than I'll probably make once I get my Master's degree and then wants to complain about tips.

I really don't like the dogs or babies or serious pro style pics either. My favorites are definitely the completely random weird pictures. Mine's a picture of Master Shake from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Check it out. http://www.adultswim.com/shows/athf/index.html

Maybe I'm across the table and don't have the angle to tell if you are seeing the other players cards or not for sure. You are the only one who knows for sure so you ought to be the one to say something. No wonder poker has such a bad rep. I had a lot of respect for this forum and the players here until I read this thread. I play to win money, too, but I still try to be an ethical person. Lets say me, you and a stupid card showing player are at a table. I've got AA you've got QQ and stupid's got KK. You see stupid's hand and fold your QQ. Now I just get paid off by stupid instead of bo

you haven't said anything about the other 8 people at the table that are getting ****ed by you looking at an opponents cards. They aren't being stupid but they are getting ****ed anyway. One thing I've definetly learned from this forum is that I'd rather not play at your table.
