I am glad the Govt is finally taking a step to eliminate the dangerous practice of internet gambling.
We need many, many more laws to protect people from themselves.
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

Hopefully there wil soon be legislation to prevent people buying fishing equipment. I don't know how many marriage break-up's, home reposessions and even suicides this self destructive practice has caused...
But I bet it's a LOT!

It is about time someone tried to save me from myself!!
I have been really worried about my life since I started to play poker online.
I am glad that I pay taxes so that they can use that money to tell me how to live my life.

Yeah we really need more laws to take away even more freedoms...  . It's not bad enough they are taking away internet poker. What next? Lets try a new approach, less laws and more self responsibility. Make Peter responsible for losing all his money by making him starve or be homeless. If he has kids then take his kids away because he must not love them or care about them if he keeps up with stupid behaviour. Gambling isn't a disease...it's a choice.

All great points but we all need to remember that this law was written and passed by people who, for example, write emails to their "gay" friends and don't think they'll be found out.
They are stupid, absolutely and completely stupid.

I don't think Foley wrote this one did he?

Nope, but would I be going out on a limb in guessing he supported it? He didn't vote on it either...probably becuase he was too busy erasing emails from his hard drive.
My point was simply that I am tired of being told what is moral and immoral by a bunch of pedophiles, liars and outright thiefs and Foley is just the just the latest in a long, long run of sordid behavior by our elected officials.
