WTO Wants USA to Gamble Online

Posted by michael on from the bingo dept.

revtom writes "The WTO has ruled that the U.S. must allow online gambling or face trade barriers. My favorite quote from the article (Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va), 'It cannot be allowed to stand that another nation can impose its values on the U.S. and make it a trade issue.' Pot/Kettle black?"

    Offshore gambling sites are sucking american money from the american economy?!?! OMG! Someone call the in the republicans!

    Seriously folks... I went on a cruise last year (first ever!) and the casino didn't open till we were like 12 miles off the coast.

    How many people were lined up outside, waiting? How many were americans? I think the WTO is in the right in this decision...
