The whole religion of Islam is a militaristic religion

lol really?

lol really?

lol

 

[xdeucesx]

it's been that way since 632... Read the Qaran, it clearly says death to all peoples who dont follow Islam, with exceptions for Jews and Christians. The exception is then explained to mean they can be treated as second class citizens, mostly like slaves and to always know that followers of Islam are superior peoples to any other nation in the world.

Early religious texts say a lot of things

Deuteronomy 21:18-21

18 If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, "This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a profligate and a drunkard." 21 Then all the men of his town shall stone him to death.

Doesn't mean they still hold true

and absolutely no offense to any people not from U.S., but its different for us. 9/11 was a terrorist attack on U.S. soil, not GB/france/etc. I understand that everyone is in this together or whatever, but its personal for the U.S.

 

[xdeucesx]

True, but Islam has always been a religion based on intolerance. Nobody wants to admit this because its not "politically correct" but it's true. The Qaran is pretty clear when it comes to how to behave against followers of other religions.


I know same can be said for the Old testament, but I'm not arguing for/against Christianity. Only talking about Islam

NO, we are not. Nor will we have a political one. If you guys want to talk that crap start a thread for it. Anything further ITT will be removed.

 

[acky100]

Hows the poker going for you WV, have you started crushing 10nl for 40 odd BB's yet? This whole thing must really suck for you, do you think you'll be back playing your old stakes on carbon or another US friendly site?

prospecting for bike clubs means referring your costumers to them i take it ?

Not really bro. Bike clubs means bike "gangs" Some of them are legit, some are into alot of illegal things behind the scenes. Prospecting means in alot of cases, initiation, then you do all the dirty work for them. Whether its illegal or just harmless nonsense, to prove your loyalty to the club. I sell alot of bikes to some of these clubs and one club in particular, the Massachusetts chapter only buys bikes from me. My GM had me set up a bikini wash day for just them, next month at the dealership. That should be interesting lol.

I recieved a text today from 753-5 saying it confirmed a credit card payment of 356.57 paid today 5-02-2011. I have no clue what it's from but I just realized that was roughly my 10nl bankroll on fulltilt. Did anyone else get this text? My first instinct was that it was spam or a scam but now I'm not sure.

 

[TylerN]

seems sketchy broski

 

[Madmansam]

Ya I checked my bank accounts and my credit cards and they didn't have any debits or credits so I dk what it could be from. Guess I'll wait and see if it turns out to be anything.

 

[JOEBOB69]

All i need to confirm if this is a scam is your CC number, SSN number,address,full name,mothers maiden name.
I would block this number from my phone if i where you and keep a eye on my statements.

[JOEBOB69]

how are the bonuses at carbon/lock? bc the superbook bonus is actually quite hard to unlock.
how long till they expire? and how hard/easy to unlock?

 

[TylerN]

Playing carbon 4nl 2k hands I have 49VIP's and to unlock the full $100 bonus I need 7500VIP's. So a long grind for me

Playing carbon 4nl 2k hands I have 49VIP's and to unlock the full $100 bonus I need 7500VIP's. So a long grind for me

yes, I'm pretty surprised at how long it's going to take me to clear the bonus also.

I have played 11,731 hands and have cleared 249 VIP points. I need to earn 3750 points to clear mine, so I am ~ 6% there. So I will need to play ~ 200k hands to clear it. Now, in my 12 tabling days I cleared 200k+ hands in 4 months but now that I am only playing 4 tables, I am skeptical of being able to clear it by August 16th, which is when the offer expires. I don't know if it is an all or nothing bonus or if you get whatever percentage of the max based on hands played. Of course, when I move up I should clear VIP points more quickly. Right now my bankroll is $ 74.09. My goal for the next step up, which is 10nl is a bankroll of $ 200. I had toyed with the idea of depositing some of my pokerstars cashout but the money actually came in really handy at a time when we needed it.

One thing also; if you have rakeback you earn VIP points at 65% of the rate that non-rakeback players earn them.

I am not all that worried about clearing the bonus. Over the next 3+ months I should clear more in rakeback than I would have in bonus. The reality is that Merge is one of the few places we US players can still play.

As many of you know 4nl on Merge is really soft, but I am finding it hard to find alot of villains to stack off lightly. The tables are almost as loose as 2nl on FT/PS but players tend to be more timid postflop.

Really, I'm just grateful to have a site to play on. The real proof will be when some of us try to cashout how that goes. Part of me is hoping that US Lawmakers wake up and legalize online poker so that Pokerstars or some other Corporation with brand identity will start up and give us all a chance to go back to the good 'ole days.

Fx I believe it is paid out every 375VIP's for $5

moneybookers has not been working with FTP lately. peelio used a bank transfer to cash out, i am going to wait another several days before i resort to that... if you come up with another way, do let me know.
