Re: Jones: video gaming just like lottery

I feel like a partisan fighter in the second world war, popping up and taking small-time shots at you in various and sundry threads; its like you'll never know where I'll show up next.

I'll stop, Box Goshington, but only because we are liable to be related, especially given where Quick Cheks are located, and where I'm from.

Actually, I just remembered I stopped in at a Quick Chek the other day to buy a pack of smokes. Who pays attention to those store names anyways...Quick Chek, Handee Hugos, 4/3/2 Brothers, etc.

Good way to turn around the accusation I was implicitly making of you.

Yes it was. Any chance you'll stop now, or just keep trying?

After all, we're probably cousins.

GoshBox, I've never been to New Jersey. Born and raised in NC with family here since 1712. I'm rural as well -- grew up cleaning chicken houses and picking off ticks.

Good way to turn around the accusation I was implicitly making of you. Anyone who knows me, though, would laugh at the irony of it.

Understood cdtew. You're Jersey, I'm rural NC. But like Plaque and Flouride we co-exist on this keyboard like someone who thinks they know it all... and me.

GOP and irony, live together in perfect harmony
You guys lose and I win, oh Lord, now I have to pee...

Thanks again for playing the North Carolina Lottery.

One big difference between the lottery and video poker.

Government runs the lottery.

And government doesn't want to have to compete in the marketplace for gambling dollars since anyone with half a brain knows that the lottery is the worst odds out there.

Hey, just stating that the Quick Chek chain of gas stations is a New Jersey-based chain with no known affiliates in North Carolina. My mistake.

Quick Check...how very New Jersey of you, GoshBox.

Is New Jersey a small town in NC now too? And another question, do facts never embarrass you?

Video gaming nothing like lottery

GiggleBox — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 14:15:11 -0400

Lottery players stand in my way at the cashier when I'm trying to get gas to go to work.

Those video people sit in the back of Quick Check and hide from their pastor when he comes in.

I fully support whatever this news item is about if people would just get out of my way, hide from their pastor, and let me go to work.

Those anti-life Democrats are trying to stop the Pro Life and NRA license plates.

Re: Recent House bills

ncpoli — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 13:16:28 -0400

Does anyone have background infor on H677? Why eliminate specialty plates? Beyond making our state look completely boring, don't some of the procedes from those plates go to charity? I'm sure the Democrats who sponsored this bill aren't anti-charity, are they?

After Jim Black pushed through the "Ethics Law", NC got a sense of how a law's title may sound good, but actually isn't. (a good name for the actual law would have been "Keeping misdeeds secret".)

So these titles are hard to work with. The term-limit sounds like a term-limit, but with experience in NC state government operations, one can hardly assume that the title means anything.

Education Lottery anyone?

Any word on results from the program? Has it actually prevented dropouts?

Do they allow white legislators to join their caucus? Just asking because you always hear so much about politicians getting into trouble because of their exclusive country clubs.
