    <p>Kind of ironic that they're supposedly banning access to these sites for violating US law when some of them don't even serve US customers.  Whether or not online poker is illegal in the US, it certainly can't violate US law to have an online poker company that only serves people outside the US.  I wonder what US law titan poker is violating?</p>

    <p>WTF kind of list is this? I haven't heard of 95% of the sites on the list, but they leave out the biggest Poker site in the world, Poker stars? Nice half-assed research team you've got there. I'm so glad my taxes are being used to fund these morons. </p>

    <p>Even funnier to me is them catching PlayersOnly, but not Cake or DoylesRoom on the same network.</p>
    <p>I'm wondering if maybe we should all keep our big yaps shut, just in case someone from the MN DAGE Googles "gambling sites what the hell did we miss?"</p>

    <p>Let's just start burning books too.  I mean, if we are going to start the ready censorship of free association, why doesn't Minnesota just wipe their ass w/ the Consitution and the First Amendment.  They're not just prohibiting gambling, but also the free play options on these sites (although personally i think playing for fun is a sin).  If Minnesota and Kentucky keep setting these dangerous precedents, then where will government intereference end?  I mean, people abuse myspace, facebook. and craiglist, let's just ban those sites to protect "the children".  I just think that if the government gets involved w/ censoring the newly formed information superhighway, humanity, knowledge, freedom, and liberty will suffer.  The government will feel it is their responsibility to make sure we only view wholesome internet sites...and there where will all us porn addicts be?  Whatever the case, and whatever side your on, the precedent being currently set is dangerous for the future free flow of human ideas and interaction.</p>
