I was wondering if this was going to happen since they started talking about mooo & craigs when they were still start-ups and the supposed online gambling restrictions.
I am to make a happy living playing online poker and the one I play at updated and poof still online. Makes one wonder if the trickle effect comes into play here.
Turn on the faucet of oppressive actions and ya get an obvious reaction. Ya drip water in the bucket and people build a bigger bucket.
Can you imagine if they locked the accounts? Capture of Trillions of legal (as the definition stands) assets. I'm pretty sure the entirety of The Mouth's Rage will be the least of there issues.
Gameful might be another one considering meta-gaming is pretty new field and the prizes aren't bad ither. I'll be dismissive if I didn't mention that they are also one of the most crowd-sourced projects in existence.
Guess time to write a letter to Guiness then Mike, I think Nah has it right: awareness is key. Not only on count but possible comments attached as well. The latest 800+ (now going on 1000 if you count the second amendum post yesterday).
He's going to say it a lot better than I but when a person comes to a conclusion about something they usually follow through with it, regardless if it was an emotional or moral cause.
Though your arguments are valid the premise might need some work. Just a thought.
Making profit is not a crime. That includes the fruits of ones own body. Your spin is that its "treating them" Like they didn't have a choice in the matter.
Define entertainment and define self-gratification.
As for not understanding I get that. It's called cognitive dissonance. Do not know how to deal with an issue unless made aware of it.
No harm when its there choice. No harm when we watch. No harm in a axiom world view that sex is a fundamental need, not a want. Should be [fill in blank] avoided is a moral argument. On top of there being no harm the industry it provides is a boon not a detriment to society.
Now all those can be said conclusively but I have a pretty good idea (that can change given new input) that the average person deprived of a fundamental thing can and will seek it elsewhere. Hopefully without violence.
Somewhere in this field of dreams someone said make your own music! Listen to that, problem solved.
So do you think adding a short ditty on my tin whistle to all my music will enable me when brought to court for "piracy" and defending myself by questioning is it a courts purview to deem what is and isn't art.
Side tracked here so many times, thought I will contribute.
People often write me and ask how I keep my wood floors so clean when I live with a child and a dog, and my answer is that I use a technique called Suffering From a Mental Illness.

Now I don't have many issues in life and when new people enter my circle its with no trepidation of fear. I actively seek new experiences and meeting people is probably the most interesting one of them all. Then people constantly remind me of all the time I spend on the computer or more perceptive the internet. Some- times you have to spell it out for them.
Now my firmly held creed is that you can NOT deal with an issue unless your made aware of it. That being said our choices are the issue. The choices that you believe are right and yet your willing to damage a relationship for that belief. This is what we call the axiom of ignorance. Historical perspective its the same as looking at land owning slave owners wishing to be free or aka our founding fathers. If you don't prefer axiom of ignorance you can basically boil it down to looking in a mirror and not knowing a dam thing about yourself. The Vikings may have termed it Loki's Mirror because when you really do the introspection(study of self) & actually look in there your bound to find chaos.
Another creed of mine is one a bit more settle but very pertinent to this. Ya get my point? It covers everything; I don't even have to make a list because your doing it to every choice that we've made in our home that differs from your own and then creating this axiom(direct definition: a saying that is widely accepted on its own merits). Dogma is another word for it.
The creed, if missed, in one word is acceptance... I regret to inform you that this is not a black and white world and if you choose to live in it and then with hindsight take issue with it, ok. Yet, what is not acceptable is making that choice over and over then taking issue with it. The settle difference its your beliefs that raise the issue rather than ideas. Ideas can change given new input, beliefs are much trickier, people die over them.
So next time you decide to bring an issue up that you have with our choices; look in the mirror and ask yourself is it a good idea or a belief. Then MOST IMPORTANTLY; ask your self is it worth it?
