U.S. House Clears Anti-Internet Gambling Bill

matr0x_x writes "The U.S. has just moved one step closer to banning all Internet gambling sites when the US House of Representatives cleared an anti-Internet gambling bill yesterday. The bill is against a World Trade Organization ruling last August that stated the US must not block online gambling sites based overseas." From the article: " The bill, cleared by voice vote in the House Financial Services Committee, would prohibit a gambling business from accepting credit cards, checks, wire transfers and electronic funds transfers in illegal gambling transactions. Unlawful gambling, under the legislation, would include placing bets on online poker sites, for example, and any other online wager made or received in a place where such a bet is illegal under federal or state law."

You are evil, and I hope you die.

No, there isn't a big difference, and both should be legal. And both were, for a long, long time.

But at long as assholes like you purport to tell ME what to do with MY life, shitty regulations like this will continue to exist.

You can go to hell. I hope you burn forever. If it were legal, I would happily pull the trigger in the name of those of us who WANT freedom. If only that's what they were actually doing in Iraq...
