Quote: Originally posted by Todd on December 9, 2004I couldn't disagree stronger. Your statement is a slap in the face of some very courageous men who framed one of the greatest documents ever. It established a basic set of rules that formed the greatest country the world has ever known.Don't say that you weren't talking badly about the men themselves, or some other justification, because you went on to criticize those men for a number of different things.______________________________________

Gene Dotson is something of a video-game-stool philosopher of luck.As a regular lottery player, the retiree from Nashville has good reason to think about these things.''Is there such a thing called luck?''

Does God really hate gambling?Reply
Here's what I found on Bible.com, I don't know if there is any truth to their statements, since I don't read the bible myself, but it's worth taking a look at. In my opinion, sin is a sin, that is the best way someone could have ever said it. We sin each day, we probably don't even notice our sins.

Using the CRUNCH - 220 Draws MethodReply
Hell, Everyone,It took me awhile to get back. I think partly because I kept clicking on the link in my e-mail and it kept taking me to a blank page for some reason. Anyway, as I reading through some of the comments about The Crunch and some of the methods used, I must say that I have to agree with what Mike is doing right now.
