i think thats well over the mark to be honest. Who ever said online gambling was a victimless crime anyways? Actually who is their victims, everyone has a good a chance as winning as any, and its everyones choice if they wana play or not.

On a second note, i dont have kids, so i cant abuse em

Addiction is less likley in a casino than online, seriously? I know on sky if i dont want to bet or play slots/blackjack/roulettle etc i can restrict myself from them, at a casino i cant. So really why am i more supposedly addicted to playing online than live?

Seriously this feels like a full scale assault on poker players.

and he looks like a child abuser, the smarmy little t#'t.

I too have a piece of paper - and technically it's does only say you haven't been caught yet.

I work with child victims of abuse and neglect. The damage done by any form of abuse is a lifelong blight on the children's lives and the most frequent abusers are family, relatives and friends - both male and female. Wealth, jobs and social standing have no direct correlation when it comes to child abuse.

Abuse receives big headlines whenever a case comes to light, and rightly so, however more long-term damage is caused to children by simple neglect than by abuse and again neglect knows no boundaries of social standing.

I'd like to meet this guy.

+1 to that

he made him look like the fool he is  - i don,t know what his expertise is , but i don,t think to many ppl are gonna take him seriously after that - he was even smiling as he was saying it

TommyD

I find his comments sad but it doesn't make me that angry.  There have been several instances of American News 'Experts' brought on with their own agenda and to say something controversial/stupid/inaccurate/incompetent.

My personal favourite was in the run up to the recent healthcare bill.  Someone against public healthcare condemned the NHS and claimed if Professor Stephen Hawking was British he would have died under the NHS.  Facts were clearly not a good friend to that fellow.

Back on track, the man in this clip is clearly a buffoon.

By logical means a certain percentage of online players will be addicted and child abusers and alcoholics. By the same measure so will a certain number of teachers, policemen and Catholic priests (er....) The guy is an idiot and quite rightly the presenter shot him down in flames. I think I might need help for my addiction. After playing for 3 or 4 years my gambling has gone from £1/2 an evening to nearly..........£1/2
