The former president of Iran, an international criminal head of a terrorist state arrives here and we don't even bother to ask him about what's going on in Iran let alone tossing his ass in jail.

**********************************

Don't correct me if I am wrong but I believe the former Head Terrorist of Iran was served a summons while he was here.

There are several families of survivors of his holocaust who came to this country. They are suing Iran and him for millions. I hope they... [ More ]

What I find as an interesting thought is, if all the off-shore gambling sites were to suddenly arrange to collect and submit tax revenue from the winnings of their players, the Execs would get the red carpet treatment here in the US.

Oh and in regards to the former Iran President, who of all people was here to speak about Ethics . The local and state police told him he was on his own and absolutely NO security would be provided to him. At least the Police there had the guts to make a stand.

If the U.S. really wanted to stop on-line gambling, they would treat on-line gamblers like any other criminals and put them in jail. The government monitor the Internet to catch other criminals, pedophiles, terrorists and the likes, so they know who's breaking the laws by gambling on line. When gamblers who go on-line start during jail time along side other criminals, they will be happy to limit their gambling to state/government approved lotteries and casinos that pay taxes.

Maybe in the... [ More ]

Yes!!! That is the first thing I thought of when I saw this article also.

Shame on our stupid State Department for allowing that Hitler-like person into this country. What is wrong with those people??

If a couple of terrorist-supporting countries don't like us locking out certain individuals from coming to the United Nations, then move the United Nations the h*** out of here

I want to vote to eliminate all computerized drawings, including computer-only-controlled online casino games. I don't mean to eliminate drawings period but to eliminate the computerized aspect of it. Don't get me wrong here. I just want all of it (Lottery or Casino) to be based on real roulette wheels, decks of cards, ball machines, and human operators. At the very least to fully disclose for any RNG based game what kind of mechanism is generating the random? numbers.

P.S. if anybody has e... [ More ]

You are correct and I applaud your post. What you have outlined is the real problem that no one except for a few really identify.

I will add one more, what about the former president of Iran being given respect and allowed in this country to speak at Harvard and the UN? Thank God Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney at least told the country he was not going to provide this guy security at State expense. However, the State Department will provide secuity for this dog at taxpayers exp... [ More ]

The former president of Iran, an international criminal head of a terrorist state arrives here and we don't even bother to ask him about what's going on in Iran let alone tossing his ass in jail.

Instead we go after the president of a perfectly legal U.K. company just because we don't have freedom here in the U.S. to spend our money as we see fit.

The likely result is other countries will start doing the same to our company executives.

The U.S. is stuck on stupid. BobP

Seems foolhardy on his part to fly to the US after the recent arrests of other Online Gambling Executives.

Gambling industry experts agree: If you operate an offshore gaming Web site, stay out of the U.S.

Moments after stepping foot on American soil Thursday, Sportingbet PLC Chairman Peter Dicks became the second British offshore sports betting executive arrested in recent months for illegal online gambling in the U.S. Former BetOnSports PLC Chief Executive Officer David Carruthers was arrested on federal charges in July.

It's still unclear if the arrest is a coincidence or part of a government... [ More ]
