I'm listening to a local talk radio station and they're talking about how bad online poker is. They are having a bunch of callers talking about how bad it is and that how horrible it is.
What started this off was the story about a 19 year old kid who racked up $5000 of debt via online poker. Well he decided that the best way to clear this would be to rob a bank! Great idea. He could have worked 3-6 months and paid that sucker off. They arressted him about 4 hours later at his frat house. Here's the good part (sarcasm), he only stole $2800 from the bank! Nice, now you're going to jail and still owe almost 1/2 of your total debt. Ouchy on the cho-cho.
Another caller talked about how her husband is addicted to online poker and has lost over $22,000 in cash + and undetermined amount on credit cards. She is about to file for divorce and take the kids too. She has told him numerous times about this threat, and he's not stopping. He clearly is addicted to gambling, and should be put in an asylum. I'm thinkin', why doesn't the wife shut off the internet? That'd at least stop him for a while.
The moral of the story kids? Don't gamble your rent money!!! Did you hear me, don't gamble your rent money! There now I've said it.
Keep on keepin' on.
