US Government Facts on Online Gaming – a plague that has not been started
:capmiami: Antigua maintains that the US is still not in compliance with the WTO’s decision. What is that? Why is the US choosing to say we are better than the World Trade Organization? What is going on here? The US govenment’s opinion on online gaming needs to be looked at in depth. What exactly does the US believe about online gaming that is bad? Let’s not jump to conclusions and say it’s this or that. Let’s get the real facts about the US government’s opinion on the badness of online gaming. Any thoughts or factual links would help.
The word is God. If we say something with words, we are putting these words into motion. This is why we hate liars because we get false motions when lies are said. If one claims that online gaming is bad then these words go into motion and are fulfilled by evil. If one argues that online gaming is good, then these words go into motion and are fulfilled.
The US government has no opinion on online gaming because it is all guess work and guesses are borderline lies. If they were to say that online gaming is bad, then badness would fill our country. Gamers would begin to see and experience the badness of online gaming. Hardships from online gaming would arise because players would be and act like lambs being sent to the slaughter.
The addictive gamer is one who is mislead and made weak by a higher power. In my opinion, the US government doesn’t want to be responsible for online gaming guess work. People would blame the US government of depriving it’s citizens of the right to choose, sapping strength from the gamer and thus creating the online gaming addict.
Online gaming will be around for the rest of our lives. I say let all gamers choose their fate. Self-control can only be cultivated with a clean environment. Guess work about the online gaming community is guess work and thus unclean. If they were to conduct a survey on online gamers and came up with that it is too addictive, then this would be a greater dirt in our character because people would fulfill that bad thought ten fold.
Some of my Sites:
As I have been saying…I think that the online gambling companies that have given in to this new “law” are doing so to help prove the case against the US in the WTO. With the UK looking defiant and the EU recently requiring that all EU countries allow online gambling, it seems like a more significant challenge to the US is coming via the WTO. The US can ignore Antigua easy enough, but can they ignore sanctions from the UK, Germany, France, etc?
it will be tough tot get the USA to bow to WTO demands… the USA doesn’t bow to multilateral treaties that it doesn’t agree with.
the reality is will the UK, France, Germany adopt sanctions vs the USA over online gambling issues?
the public companies shouldn’t have folded out of the US market, they were legal in the UK. their reactions were premature. The UIGEA law was aimed at financial companies, teh ramifications to online gambling operators was (even to this point) not clear.

All good points. The US will continue to further isolate itself from the world. As I mentioned in another post, with Blair’s imminent departure, the UK is now being more vocal against US policy (I expect full UK troop withdrawal from Iraq, upon Blair’s departure, for example). Similar to Americans, the UK citizens by and large have come to the conclusion that the impetus for going into, and the handling of the Iraq war, were miscalculated and botched, to say the least. I doubt that the UK will impose sanctions against the US over online gambling, BUT if the WTO, as a block, can rule against the US in other ways (e.g., trade issues with China), then maybe they can exert some influence. This remains to be seen, if they have the guts to do this. Otherwise, it’s “stay the course” for Bush and his cronies, regadless of WTO decisions or not….”we know best, and we will do what we feel is right, because we are right”. Inept morons !
