Americans will soon by subsistence-clicking and gambling food stamps for game credits on Zynga gaming and virtual currency provider; fully convertible into dollars at 7/11 for individual slices of processed cheese.

Most recent: 
speaking of on-line gambling….
“Pity the programmers toiling away at Wall Street’s secretive high-frequency trading shops–places like Goldman Sachs ( GS – news – people ), Citadel and Getco. They wrote algorithms that take advantage of fleeting trading opportunities and bring in up to $100,000 a day. In return, they received a fraction of the pay doled out to their bosses.”
Now some programmers feel used and are instigating a revolt.
They are doing so by striking out on their own or forming profit-sharing arrangements. Jeffrey Gomberg, 32, worked for a trading firm that paid him a low-six-figure income after four years on the job. His trader colleagues, by contrast, made millions manipulating the algorithms he’d written.

You have to be fairly intelligent to comprehend my ravings. Las Vegas has no future with this news. The internet will kill for good places like Las Vegas. Who knows ? Maybe even New-York and Londonium parasitum .
I am insanely sane.
Even Loto Québec is lauching a virtual casino on the internet. People in gambling will soon have competition from the Martians. Merci SAO for the flowers. Where’s the pot ?
That’s the flower pot bien sûr.

>> property in common
Yes, private property held in trust.

The US legalizing on-line gambling is fifteen years too late and five trillion dollars short.
The American Imperialists have no money to spend, and are not likly to have any for at least 20 or 30 years. It is possible that the lack of money to spend could last up to 40 years.
Ergo, on-line gaming is not going to be a big revenue getter like it once was.
Case closed.
Maybe online gambling is not such a big deal is the case of casinos. What are the chances of losing just as much starting a business? The difference I see in the case of earning virtual credits is that players will not have a chance at wining jackpots. The amounts earned will be way below the tax reporting requirements.
Yes. Yes. You must gamble. You must gamble. You could win. You could win. Please try again. You could win. You must gamble.

Taste like chicken, but that doesn’t help the chicken. So everyone is in some sort of trance. I’m trying to wiggle out of mine, but the straight jackets too tight.
Like your feisty ways, Marc. You are totally awake and see all. I like reading your posts. Makes me feel sane a tad.
‘We already have legalized gambling. What ? Competition for us ?’ Lloyd Blankfien.
Will the Zynga gambling tables be as crooked of those of Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan ?
By the way is Goldman Sachs a Zynga shareholder ?

After that we remove the frontal lobe. What ? It’s already done ? I had forgotten. Verbotten ! Don’t think. Play till you die ! It’s an order !
The United States of America. Best entertained least informed. Gambling on line – another addiction to eat away peoples’ brains. Sick.
How to quickly answer the what-about-the-roads! objection to a stateless society has been bothering me all week. Adam C
Just give it up and admit that individuals can own property in common as well as privately. For example, the atmosphere, water table and national border could be considered common property.
As for me, I figure the Creator owns it all and when He comes back (probably not too long from now) He will straighten things out as He wishes.
But without a government, who would build the roads?
Imagine a large field
Now imagine two houses far apart yet on the same field:
House 1
House 2
Now imagine two people, one in each house:
Woman A
Man B
Now imagine A visits B
Now imagine A returns home
Now imagine B visits A
Now imagine B returns home
Now imagine A and B visiting each other VERY often
Now imagine the field again
Do you see the road?
(Technically a well-trodden path.)
Apologies, just brain-dumping. How to quickly answer the what-about-the-roads! objection to a stateless society has been bothering me all week.
Oupss. Lapsus I meant a USB connection. Mind you that to you will have in the butt. A zynga back orifice with all your transactions monitored by the FCC, IRS, CIA, FBI, EPA, DEA, Pentagon, Mossad, FSB, MI5 and UBS and Al Gore.
Zynga Heil ! The name feels a lot like a Nazi slogan. Don’t you find ? That of religious sect. Next ? An UBS connection up your ass. Microsoft compatible naturally.
Yes, I like the alternative currency idea. Government money should only be legal tender for government debts (taxes, fees, etc) not private ones.
All followed and monitored by the USA Gestapo.
More “Bread” for the “Circus”
Games, gambling, on line whatnot and even this discussion is a distraction from fixing anything, but I like it because it kicks the can like a little kid, and rings true.
Drop some sticks on the ground and watch the vampires bend over backwards to pick them up one by one.
I had a feeling that ban would not last very long.
Cool!
I mean, look on the bright side: more people will get used to using alternative currencies and maybe one day — gold!
(Obviously, the idea of people gambling because they have no opportunities for productive employment is not a good thing.)
