Porn not Poker!

So the Republicans have now passed a law banning banks from processing payments to gambling sites on the internet. Gambling is not illegal under Federal Law, so the justification is that it is possible for minors to enter false information and gamble.

Really? Then why have we not banned banks from making payments to internet pornography sites? There are sites out there with nude children, beastiality and all sorts of filth. Minors can acess these if they can access gambling sites.

Which is more morally corrupt: A) Little Johnny gaining access to play poker on his own limited bank account, or; B) little Johnny gaining access to chicks with donkeys etc...

If you look at the act passed, it would not have been hard to word it as "gambling and pornography" prohibition. In fact, simply adding the words "and pornography" here and there would accomplish it!

So why didn't the Republicans do this?

Multiple Choice Answer:

a) There are no land-based porn sites pumping campaign contributions into Washington.

b) There are no federally-taxed indian reservation porn operations to be protected.

c) Paypal and credit cards do not protest transfers to porn sites (in fact eBay--Paypal's owner--allows the sale of porn on it's website), so they will not grease the politicians in order to hurt competitors like Netteller and Firepay.

d) It's not about morals or what is best for the country, it's all about the benjamins $$$.

e) All of the above.



If you correctly selected choice "e" please get off your duff and go vote these rats out of office.
