Message: [QUOTE="RogueRivered, post: 1026652, member: 45593"] I don't mean to sound mean, but there are always a few that ruin it for everyone else. What I'm saying is that tales of woe often end up affecting others in unintended ways. I've seen statements from some of our Senators saying that the reason they vote against pro-poker legislation is because they have "family friends" who have been ruined, or they feel the need to "protect" the nation's college-aged youths from falling into poker madness. People (adults) should be allowed to make their own decisions. Of course, some will make poor ones, but let's not punish the rest. The point of your OP is well-taken; be the one who thinks things through carefully and acts accordingly, not the one who makes these decisions on a lark and acts rashly. [/QUOTE]
