  1. I choose to base my reaction on my established dislike of the Pope, and condemn this statement as not only stupid but also unhelpful and dangerous. In fact the last thing we need. Before people go all Leazes on me I hate all organised religion equally, they are all the problem I might be biased, and in fact I am, but I actually do find islam a particularly reprehensible faith and dislike the socieities it has created immensely. The worst aspect of it is the fact that you cannot crticise it without having a fatwa put on you, but I find it wrong on so many levels. It basically belongs in the dark ages, if there even. Other faiths have their problems but none have led to so many problems as islam imo. All as bad as each other. All as wrong as each other All evil Well when I look at the treatment of women, Shariah law, the fact that any kind of debate on religion is stifled in virtually all islamic countries, the fact that they believe in a global brotherhood, fatwas, jihads, terrorism, non-integration into western soceities and a sizable proportion wanting to destroy them, hysteria about cartoons, removing Israel from the face of the earth, obsession with the afterlife, and finally the fact it is a completely joyless religion where all the fun things are banned (e.g. drinking, gambling, and bacon), I would say Islam is by far the worst religion on the planet. In fact, it reminds me more of a global cult. I realise that many of these thing also apply to christianity and other religions, but not to the same extent imo. To say that all religions are equal to me is as preposterous as saying all philosophies, societies, or even governments are equal. Would you give the Koresh cult the same status as the C of E? The main difference between the Koresh cult and the C of E is the CofE has been round longer. As for the rest of it - nice generalisation. I agree with you about the bacon mind. Glad you can spot the difference. My bit about the oppression of women and Shariah law is not really a generalisation though, is it? Neither is their fundamental belief that freedom of speech should be curtailed, even in non-islamic countries (this applies to other religions but none so strongly). Agree or disagree? No need for the "Agree or Disagree" nonsense man. Dont go all Leazes I am against all forms of opression and I plainly wouldnt want to live under Shariah law, in fact there are undoubtably an abundance of places where life is appalling. However my beleif is that organised religion, no matter what the type, is based on superstition and lies, is and has been throuought history used to the benefit of the few at the expence of the many. It is a vehicle of ignorance that controls the behaviour and thoughts of the masses. Christianity hasnt changed out of an inherant goodness, it is just the increasing knowledge of those who would have been blind followers means it has had to adapt to try and prevent becoming more marginalised. The enlightenment doesnt come from within. To say Islam is worse is to miss the point. It is ignorance and poverty and corruption that is the problem. Fuck knows what the solution is, but it is not proving that Islam is worse than Christianity

  3. Or to use the technical poker term "luckboxes"
  4. Yep and when they nuke Iran, Jesus will save them I am much more worried by the danger to the world of the American fundamentalist right than Islamic nutters
  5. But dont you understand, America has God on their side. The proper one. The one with Jesus and that

  7. It is as far from easy money as you can get. It is a great way to get some extra income but I would hate to do it as a job

  9. Oh sweet jesus, why did I have to do that... aychachachachachacha
  10. Downswings are inevitable, I have had 3 times where I have had a downswing of 30 and and one of 40 buy ins. I always make sure I have at least 50 buyins at a particular level and if I go below that I move down to a lower level
  11. I loathe it. If you must keep it at leat make it a b it smaller
  12. Jeebus. Is that Bramble injured? I hope Roeder still has a set of books
  13. I have, of course, studied the odds and even wandered round various casinos in various countries I know a couple of real professional gamblers - and their life style is something of a roller coaster SBT makes a good point about the difference between games such as roulette and poker - I doubt many gamblers keep a real record of their wins and losses as he has. I would question if ROI is a full descritpion of the benifits - you should include your time (evena t minimum wage) for a start RISKED ROI would be quite illuminating as well - how close do you come to losing a lot for example.......... AS long as you are in the winning 8% its fine but as you say that means 92% are losers I have got the data at home for $ per hour and total time spent playing. The time spent is frightening. I think my hourly rate works out at $22. Not a huge amount, but it is for something I enjoy doing. Risked ROI oesnt really make any sense, I never wager large amounts, I play ten man tournaments with a set entry fee usually of 6,11 or 22 dollars.
  14. Thanks, but it's not an option - permanent feature which is why I'm wondering what the general feeling about it is... I hate it
  15. Grow up and stop being a twat Fuck off. Witty with it
  16. The mistake you are making Rob is that you are failing to recognise that Poker is a zero-sum game. In other Casino Games Blackjack Roulette etc are negative -sum games. The Casino has an edge, therefore over time you will lose. The same with betting on the Horses, the bookie sets the odds. With Poker you are playing against the other players, with the house making their money from the rake. If you can therefore beat the others players at a greater rate than the rake it is very possible to be a long term winning player. That being said the estimate is that 8% of online players are showing a profit which means there are a lot of losers. I know I am winning because I use software to track my tournaments. The accepted measure is ROI (return on investment) which shows I have made 17% profit over 4000 tournaments since May last year. The mistake a lot of players make is moving up in limits too fast, a sort of Peter Principal, where they keep moving up until they reach a level that they cant beat then lose all their money. I have been very conservative and play at a low limit I know I can beat.
  17. Never been in a casino in my life. Ive never been in a bookies either.
  18. My daughter had a few years of being bullied, not physical but mental. Harder to deal with in a lot of ways. As for Grow up and stop being a twat
