Im not proud to say this, but dumb people almost deserve what they get. Most of the people who will be losers in poker are just complete idiot( we love them tho :D). I mean if you can't control yourself, just stop it . Your whole statement would occure if it was shown to the whole population, because most of the population need guidance and can't control thing by themself. But in the bw community, i think that most player are somehow wiser in general than the rest of the world.

Jeez people must learn to have a control over themself True I first start to learn about poker here and the money things. But i didnt start off right away, ive read book and article about it for 2 month, and i began to play like 2 days ago o_O. And i double up my bankroll.
I just prepared myself a lot, get information, analyse all of the situation ( hey if im not succesful, what 50 bucks is?).

I think that is the a wise attitude you must have toward everything you do.

You want to blame someone for something that someone else does.

How the fuck is that fair?

~ Leg

You do not have children I guess so it will be hard for you to understand. I want to see your disdain for our social problems when it afffects one close to you, such as a son or daughter. I have seen many a brilliant child fall into the wrong path due to poor influence or lack of good parenting. It really annoys me to see more and more threads about where and how to gamble the starcraft community. Even the google adds are all about poker in this site lately.

If you have children, don't allow them to play.

Enforce your feelings on your own kids, not on us.

I fail to see what is wrong with that. If he doesn't want to see his kids gamble -- which is understandable -- then don't let them. However, don't ask tl.net to take down the ads because of that.

ProudCappi would you agree that it's better to remove the influence than try and repeatedly remedy the symptoms? Especially when the influence is as questionable as explicit poker ads on the front page. Imagine you have a kid and there is something threatening him/her. Do you let them go get hurt or do you remove the threat?
Human teleportation, molecular decimation, breakdown and reformation is inherently purging. It makes a man acute.

I find it odd that when you said
It makes me sad when I see influential Starcraft sites promote online gambling.
it was directly in line with the poker ads on this site.

:O Co-incidence?

"ProudCappi would you agree that it's better to remove the influence than to try and remedy it over and over? Especially when the influence is as questionable as explicit poker ads on the front page."

No, it isn't. The world is full of influences. You have to learn how to make your own decisions. And what do you mean "over and over"? If your kid keeps gambling online with your credit, take his computer away.

"Imagine you have a kid and there is something threatening him/her. Do you let them go get hurt or do you remove the threat?"

Yes. But ads aren't threats. A threat is something that may harm you against your consent. An ad is something entirely different.

Thats exactly it, lack of good parenting, for my children thats not a social problem that would be my problem as a bad parent. Children should be raised to be able to think for themselves so they can choose their paths wisely.

~ and not only ur children if you have a generous soul ~ that is what I am doing with this article ~ raising awareness about the unwise desicion of this site about fostering online gambling for a few bucks at the expence of the possible misery of others.

err... influence are everywhere. Just look at Beer ads. Weither you like beer or not, beer is bad for your health. They always show the good side of it, the ''party'' atmosphere. These ads are EVERYWHERE. Kids are shown from age 11 that beer is fun.

As they grew older, they must analyse everything they do, their repercussion in the future, the things around them, etc. If they can't make this thing , then they are what i call ''dumb people''

~ but that does not mean starcraft sites should also promote beer? There is a choice here that has been made by its webmasters. A choice I happen to have strong convictions against. And it has influenced the community ~ few years back there were no gambling threads or discussion on which online gambling site is better. It was all about starcraft.

A few years ago starcraft wasn't an incredibly ancient game, and of course we were all waiting for the almighty blizzard to release the StarCraft killer, warcraftIII ^^

But alas, how the years change people
