I don't like poker. Gambling is what is ruining the world today. Like in that episode of the Simpsons where Homer creates a casino on a tropical island and it completely destroys their culture.

So your telling me that with all the problems faced by the world today gambling is the one that is ruining it and your backing this up with an episode of the simpsons? Are you serious mate?

lol, I think he is joking but even if he is not there is no loss of respect. The simpsons is a brilliant show.

The lowest kind is probably in golfing.
Yeah true golf and chess require limited movement and concentration. Both require logic but golf has more physical requirements.

Poker may be a fun game, so long as there is no gambling involved (Putting up money)

Golf is one of the laziest sports i can think of, the players are too lazy to even walk to the next place! THEY NEED A BLOODY GOLF BUGGY!!!!!

I'd say Chess is a game, not so much a sport.

True, but gold is actually quite relaxing. Maybe its being out on the course, in nature, green all around - quiet - and then the fun of playing against your friends.

There is a lot of themes in the Simpsons that have a basis in reality. That is just one of them, no offense taken
