Here You Go:

1. Who (president or whatever) do you think will have a real shot of legalizing more sites?
|
Pretty much anyone not catering to the right wing christian nut jobs.

2. What are the positives of legalizing more sites?
|
Accountable regulation and taxation.
Quote:
|
3. When if ever do you think more sites will be legalized?
|
When they come to the realization that most people have not quit playing.

4. where in the world would this hurt if it did or would it not bother any other place (had to use a where so its dumb) ha?
|
Antigua and Organized Crime (kind of the same thing).
Quote:
|
5. Do you think more should be legalized, if so why?
|
Enough to create healthy competition which will improve sites integrity, and lower rakes.

6. How do you think this will be carried out?
|
Sites will only be able to accept funds through tightly regulated transaction centers where a players net win / loss can easily be tracked and when the funds become taxable income. Unusual money movement patterns within a site would red flag the site / persons for audit / inquiry.

7. Why do you think the US is so uptight about this but yet we are supposively a free country than many other countries that have more legalized sites?
|
Because they have yet to figure out how to tax it and they can't stand to see 8 billion dollars leaving the country every year (200+ billion a year for the war is ok though because about 150 billion of that actually comes back to our large privatized war machine). The average mental capacity in our country is that of about a 6th grade level, which is why porn is still the top revenue source on the internet, people actually think nascar is a sport, and they believe professional wrestling is real.

8. Is it better if it just stays the way it is or changes to allow more sites (kind of repetitive but needed a question)
|
We have basically 5 "real" sites, and we need more after regulation.

|
9. Do you think this would be smart and work or harm the US? If so why, if not why not?
|
Smart if they use a lottery system to determine who gets the sites and the taxable revenue is shared properly otherwise the politcal machine will corrupt it.

10. What are the negatives if any of legalizing more poker or gambling sites in the US?
|
Average US consumer credit card debt went up from ~8k to 13k in the last 7 years. Sounds like a lot of people are spending money they don't have. I would guess by the average age on this forum that includes 90+% of the people here. So tighten up the bankrupcy laws much more and I won't care....IMHO
