If online gaming is meant to be dying in the US there sure is a lot of US based political talk stemming from CAP members….
who said its dying? i beg to disagree…although we now have a chance of dying way before online gambling becomes legal again in US. Thanks to dubya and his warmongering staff for bringing in his missile defense system to Poland. This is an interesting read – Nuclear Chicken in Poland: Putin Can’t Afford to Back Down .
as for discussing american politics, it always turns into a Bush bashing exercise and i’m sure all of us do it on a daily basis without even starting threads @ CAP. all the recent events that take place in US politics lead me to think that its a ridiculously hypocritical government. it generally fails its own goals of morality/freedom/fairness and all that other empty rhetoric as soon as it invades/sponsors/gives money/capitalizes an area on our planet. Its an ‘unchecked’ superpower that does what it wants without any consideration of consequences nor anybody else’s interests. “With us or against us” is the latest (since 90s) American political moto. Too bad EU is an impotent organization to be able to keep their western buddy under control.
the fact of the matter is that it stopped surprising me and i see no point in discussing this state of retardation all the time. besides, i don’t live there, i’m from the opposite geo-political spectrum and got quite disillusioned with world’s state of affairs. i congratulate everyone on:
– having our governments make the word terrorism a household item
– for skyrocketing fuel and food costs
– for rising inflation
– for tiny savings levels that will eventually lead to a massive financial collapse
– for levels of media propaganda (cnn, bbc, fox. you name it. everyone does it except for a few european channels) that Goebel would be proud of
– for the looming nuclear stand off between Russia and US
– for cornering Russia into such a position where it has no option but respond with hostile intent
– for McDonalds being the main sponsor of Olympics (oh the irony, a burger a day for every athlete!)
bwuah…i could go on forever…
