RJT, unlike you I won't make assumptions about a total stranger religion has nothing to do with this discussion, well, at least not until you brought it up. I won't go there. argument against you're mentality...they're sticking it to me so I'll stick it to them...doesn't need any help from...

what i've learned around here is that there are beatable games and it's up to us to find them and learn how to beat em the rest we stay away from and leave to the suckers sounds fair enough to me

you knowingly taking what you didn't earn through play is stealing. pretty simple stuff i learned before i could count to 100 why isn't counting cards good enough?

moral relativism on a very muddy, slippery slope how about i'll just come over there and demand your $$ at gun point?! after all, it's just a viewpoint...you looking down the barrel of my gun sheesh

I guess that makes sense since you can only treat it as a 1 here

no problem, i'm a big boy. I know how it appears but I still post cuz I read conflicting info. I'm not really having much trouble at all. after memorizing A,7 the rest is pretty simple. It's just CV was bugging me out insisting on standing A,6,J. and as far as the rest of this thread is...
