So, now other countries will want illegal activities that they promote to be exported to the United States? bullshit.
    Your thinking is very dangerous and the same type that leads to support of governments like the Nazis et al.

    Regardless, you seem to be one of the "America is great because its mother ****ing america" monkies. Too bad you hate free trade.

    Not to mention intellectual property is nonexistent in some parts of the world. Blocking free trade hurts the person blocking it, not the people not allowed to trade with them. Not buying cheap Chinese materials hurts the US and my own productivity. Not the Chinese.

    Pls take a basic econ class and think for yourself.

      Curious, I hope you don't take this the wrong way but you may be the dumbest poster of all time for all forums. No offense.

          Curious,

          Please stop while you are way, way, way behind on this issue. Your arguement is one that may be expected from someone with perhaps a fifth-grade-level understanding of the issue. The moral defense the U.S. provided holds absolutely no weight due to the fact that all forms of gambling are prevalent throughout the country including remote wagering.

            Isn't that the American way?
            (Rhetorical, everyone in the world outside of America already knows this to be true).

              Note to all: I think I have found what can be dubbed as "Curious repellant". You simply post the scoring summary of this year's Bears-Giants game and he (and his inane opinions) evacuate the thread. This has worked twice now.

                We have a new contestant for are you smarter than a 5th grader......

                BTW America should build a big f'n wall around it, kick everyone out, not trade with anyone and see how quickly it becomes a back ass country. I"m sorry but America doesn't have enough resourses to support itself.

                Why are you in Iraq..... OIL baby OIL. It had nothing to do with WMD or any other bullShit. Given your reasoning I"m surprised any sportsbook will deal with you.

                WTO and other organizations are sponsored by the US because the US gets more out of them than they give up. Believe it or not the whole planet doesn't revolve around what the US wants or needs despite some believing it should be that way. The main reason (IMO) why the US is so opposed to internet gambling is because this money will leave the US and not find it's way back. But hey I"m sure the people of Antiqua, costa rica, and Kawanwake are greatful. I'm sure if full tilt poker could be run from a server in California they would be all over that. Would pay taxes to the American government and be able to promote their site freely in the US. Do you not thing that Harrah's wants to have a sportsbetting site? Damn right they do.

                The internet gambling is about the flow of money.... which right now is out of the US.
