I need to work on writing skills, while it is obvious that I have strong feelings about this subject, I just don't see where I have written anything that would upset a reasonable person. I have been unsuccessful in comunication and if I have inadvertently caused someone to become upset I...

Would you mind to elaborate? There has been no mention of politics, religion and absolutely no flames of any kind. If this topic violates the rules of the Lobby, I would like to know so I don't repeat the mistake.

You would need to have a frame of referance regarding Internet poker that predates the UIGEA and it would help if you had been outraged at the way it was made in law. My definition of "Individual Freedom" is; If I am not hurting others and acting responsibly, I should be left alone to do...

Plenty of gambling in KY, the only reason you don't have casinos is the horse racing industry has a good lobbying organisation. They want slots but can't figure out how to shut everybody else out. Churchill Downs recent remodeling included a serious overabundance of electrical service in one...

Remember this thread and how you are feeling right now when it is your turn. Just to make certain we are on the same page, I do not hold any hard feelings toward you in any way shape or form.

When it is your turn and they take something away that you really enjoy, don't be surprised when nobody cares or understands. That is how the process works, you take a tiny little freedom here, you require just a little more government approval there and one day we will all look up and say...

Pokerstars? They keep the player's funds in a seperate account not in the US. Now ask me if they will have to turn those funds over to the US in a deal? I don't know.

You linked to inaccurate information. The law in question did not make Internet poker illegal. It forbid banks from processing electronic payments to gambling websites. It is terribly worded and if they ever actually enforce it, the cost to banks to comply with the law will be astronomical...

It goes to show how far they will go to get what they want. The law they violated, and it is a law, was tacked on to a port security bill at the last momment and never actully had to pass on its own merit. Not that it really matters now that it is on the books.

The US Goverenment in its infinite wisdom has decided that adults using their own money, on their own computers in their own homes, can not play 5 cent poker on the Internet. Not all sites are down at the moment but PokerStars and FullTilt poker domains and US assets are seized and I believe...

Shingles Suck, Phantom pain sucks even worse. I was lucky with a very mild case. There was one spot under my right shoulder blade that felt like someone was snubbing out a cigar on my back. Phantom pain still remains but it is sporadic.

Photos from Monday night smoker and Havanna Rumba Cuban Restaurant Every Monday evening this group of miscreants plus a couple more meet to smoke cigars. They bought my dinner at Havana Rumba. Cafe con leche, FTW!!! Shrimp with creole sauce for dinner. Birthday Serenade Jeff Gilley...

I have been walking a lot, it is part of my plan for losing 100 lbs.

Contraband Candy would make a good sub forum under Cuban Cigars forum.

Awesome! No school like the old school!

My friend Abbie snapped the photo, his charity is catering lunches for a local business and a lady was outside smoking and he asked her to stick her cigar in the snowman's mouth for the photo Op. So the short answer is some random worker from a call center in Jeffetrsonville, In.
