DOH!! Florida goofed on this one...

[Shadow8088]

Apparently, while trying to ban internet gambling (already a banned in the US I thought) the lawmakers worded the law poorly.. It basically bans all smartphones, computers, and tablets...

Meh. It's Florida. They're run by the same types of idiots that run Texas. Just another day....

 

[rambone]

I'm not sure there is such a thing as a smartly worded ban.

Take comfort in the fact that this is not the first thing FL has messed up. You know they arrest people for self defense down there.

This isn't a Zimmerman Pity party.. there's a whole different thread for that...

As I keep saying, and these morons keep proving, the reason that I didn't run for an office when the locals asked me to is that I cannot check my brains at the door before going into the room where laws are made.

The fact remains this is not the only time FL has stepped on it. Call it what you want I am making a point. Don't like it, move on.

Oh hey... a new ban from the same people that banned sex in that state.

I'm such a rebel, using a computer in Florida. Whoo look at me!

I must have missed this on. Do tell.

For the record, there are a few states that online gambling is legal, not sure what they are but im pretty sure Nevada is one of them. Shouldnt be illegal much longer across the US i wouldnt think

They should have had the foresight YEARS ago to ban hanging chads.

They passed a law that made bestiality illegal. They used the word animal in what was prohibited. With humans being animals, it could be said that they made sex illegal. It was a funny ha-ha moment from a couple years ago.

Better explanation

The same state that throws hundreds of men and women in jail for being unmarried couples living together.

That makes perfect sense. They consider screwing people (figuratively or literally) to be a privilege of public office not to be shared with the plebes!
