    America-Land of the free?

    Playboy Playmate Destiny Davis faces having house seized in US poker website crackdown.

    America is a land of harassment nowadays. They have no freedom. Every activity is looming with a threat of a lawsuit or a complaint. They are constantly aware and scared of this. What kind of freedom can it be? Yet they constantly imagine they have freedom
    .

    Laughable. This is "the land of the free", by the way...

    Where you're free to do anything, as long as its what they tell you you can.
    Here as so often we see the State acting as a gangster. What has this business done? Provide entertainment to willing participants.

    But in the Puritan state, you can't have that! Send in the mutaween!
    These are comments made on a site(Daily Telegraph). These are not my views I've just c/p them for discussion.

    The crackdown on 'internet poker' is simply another political payoff from casino owners in Las Vegas. These casino's don't want to lose any money by competition and have paid lobbyist and politicians huge amounts of money to 'ban' internet gambling or any form of gambling that directly competes with Las Vegas. This type of market manipulation by companies who can afford to pay is very common in America.

    Now what kind of freedom does a country have, that is completely saturated on political bribery?
    Not me!! Don't shoot the messenger(please).

police states r run by such types butt they beter hope old Mav no not geta the miracle old Mav needs before it is too late for old Mav and so guess where these police state British royalty take their own honey moon the Schyschelles islands some remote island shows proves whut kind of a island the U K must be to take your own honey money in some remote island where only a bad police state person would go to take their own honey moon right RIGHT and so talk about mistakes that island is no not any place old Mav would go is it French British Dutch and so independent and so even African and so Hindu no not sure exactly where the Scheyschilles islands r and so no nor sure spelling butt no doubt u have heard of them talk about offering evidence proof u run a police state guess with a face

cuz if and so some day they may pay dearly for it butt then luckily for old Mav they do no not takle old Mav seriously and so they think at 66 old Mav is over the hill and so ready to buy the farm right RIGHT and so they beter be right RIGHT and so cuz if they r wrong and so they may pay dearly for it and so 66 years old Mav has been traped in a police state that cheats atacks old Mav and so luckily turning 62 a loop hole in it alowed old Mav to geta a senior apartment butt still old Mav needs a miracle before it is too late for old Mav butt if old Mav ever get it millions billions may pay dearly for cheating atacking old Mav they took old Mavs own silver and so gold old Mav would take theirs if old Mav ever geta the miracle old Mav needs before it is too late for old Mav right

British royal honey moon couple wana geta back to the way King Arthur lived and so even British royalty have lived since time began and so those islands r rather remote no not like Los Vegas and so Hawaii and so Miami Beach and so Austrailia wherever most people go to honey moon right RIGHT and so they no not wana geta noticed togather too obvious that he marryed K M for police state reasons right RIGHT and so butt it has added fuel to the fire whut a obvious police state mariage right RIGHT and so K M looks like the type of woman one 1 would marry to perpetuate the police state right

quite a experience in how the police state works right RIGHT and so thus u r right RIGHT Gpes the police state and so the on line poker owners could no not reach a mutualy acceptable agreement thus they have legaly acted in their own behalf right RIGHT and so if it wuz old Mav old Mav would have been satisfyed to give the police state half right RIGHT and so after all half is beter tha none

    Texas, for instance, requires hair-salon "shampoo specialists" to take 150 hours of classes, 100 of them on the "theory and practice" of shampooing, before they can sit for a licensing exam. That consists of a written test and a 45-minute demonstration of skills such as draping the client with a clean cape and evenly distributing conditioner. Glass installers, or glaziers, in Connecticut—the only state that requires such workers to be licensed—take two exams, at $52 apiece, pay $300 in initial fees and $150 annually thereafter.
    In the land of the free you aren't even allowed to wash someone's hair!
