Quote: Originally posted by Todd on December 9, 2004I couldn't disagree stronger. Your statement is a slap in the face of some very courageous men who framed one of the greatest documents ever. It established a basic set of rules that formed the greatest country the world has ever known.Don't say that you weren't talking badly about the men themselves, or some other justification, because you went on to criticize those men for a number of different things.______________________________________

Tenn. lottery fans make fewer runs for the Kentucky borderNews Story
Gene Dotson is something of a video-game-stool philosopher of luck.As a regular lottery player, the retiree from Nashville has good reason to think about these things.''Is there such a thing called luck?''

''Is it who you are? ''Why do people keep doing it? Why do I keep doing it?''Whatever the cosmic an

Does God really hate gambling?Reply
Here's what I found on Bible.com, I don't know if there is any truth to their statements, since I don't read the bible myself, but it's worth taking a look at. In my opinion, sin is a sin, that is the best way someone could have ever said it. We sin each day, we probably don't even notice our sins. If you feel so strongly against gambling, or feel guilty on putting $5.00 on a lottery game, then you probably shouldn't play. Jack W. didn't mind to gamble and he is a Christian, and said it was t

Using the CRUNCH - 220 Draws MethodReply
Hell, Everyone,It took me awhile to get back. I think partly because I kept clicking on the link in my e-mail and it kept taking me to a blank page for some reason. Anyway, as I reading through some of the comments about The Crunch and some of the methods used, I must say that I have to agree with what Mike is doing right now. Also, I think that the biggest thing is for most people, is that they absolutely must do their own homework on the game that they are playing. I do think that now, after

Oregon Lottery Drops Plan to Cut Taverns' CommissionsNews Story
The Oregon Lottery director said Monday that she plans to rework her controversial proposal to cut bar and tavern owners' video poker compensation.Director Brenda Rocklin's initial proposal turned out to yield far less revenue for state-funded programs than first estimated, prompting calls from education advocates and others for more drastic reductions in the share of video poker proceeds that bars and taverns are allowed to keep as compensation.But bars, taverns and restaurants and their trade
