Based on what I have read about Cokes, he was a near broke con man gangster running a scam with a phoney oil well they were selling shares of , when the hole started spurting oil and made them all rich.
Why does pool attract so many broken, crazy, Degenerate, mental type people.

Pinkies in or pinkies out?
I think we were not exactly drinking Earl Grey
When I make a cup it's way too large to do pinkies out. Unfortunately.
Unfortunately I have some experience with addiction and I can easily be addicted to pool among many things in life,not all negative. However that moment when I'm playing perfect pool to where I see exactly how to make any shot and my arm executes perfectly is so similar to a wonderful drug high it's sick. I'm not a runner but I assume kind of like runners high. I have experienced this while training for fighting though on a physical level. Idk if this has anything g to do with the attraction Of low levels but I know I chase it harder than I chased the drugs 
. I am off the drugs and have been for some time so if u see me around please don't cross the street run away clutch ur purse etc lol

The bar and gambling aspect plays a huge part. Pool has been allowed to become a sport for grumpy old men.
The sport is more, eh! Sportslike in Europe, but you find lots of dropouts playing pool over here too.
Having said that, there are some bright people playing pool. I actually think pool beyond a certain level, requires a fair bit of brainpower.
If pool can play on it's strengths and sellI it like an action packed variation of chess, I see bright future.

... and this my friends, is how you "save pool". You rise.
Hey, if it wasn't for Pool a broken, crazy, degenerate, mental type person like me would have no where else to go and be accepted.
That's right. Pool players are saints compared to politicians
Pop quiz : What do you do if you are stuck on an island with a cobra, a politician and you have a gun with 6 bullets? Answer: You shoot the politician 6 times. Better to risk the snake kill you than risk the politician surviving. :thumbup:
I think y'all got it a bit wrong. Everyone's the same. Politicians just have money and power so of course they do that.
People don't admit this, but every single human being on the planet, including me typing this post right now, is trying to do one of only a couple of things...
-Get something for him or herself that he or she wants
-Build up his or her ego so he or she can feel better about themselves
That's it. That's what every single word out of people's mouths is trying to accomplish. That's what all their actions are getting at. It's quite annoying too it's all hard to deal with. I mean you can hardly go to your son's baseball game without one of those above motivations manifesting itself into some nastiness. We're all the same though. Pool players are no worse than any of them.
Sorry to hear your view on life in general. I learned a valuable lesson a long time ago. It goes like this, "The more you give, the more you receive." Try it on for size sometime and see if it fits.
You're proving my point. You're trying to make yourself out to be a good guy in an effort to boost your ego and self esteem. We all do it. I'm not knocking you or saying you don't give. But I am saying if you do give you do it for yourself. It's not personal towards you, it's just the truth about humans. Even your own comment bolsters the assertion... you give to get back. I'll tell you what... if you're genuinely a great guy, I'm in a real tough spot right now... can you give me a couple grand? The more you give you'll get it back, right? Or did I get that wrong? Pm me I'll give you my paypal address.

Actually you're wrong on all counts here, but you have your own belief system and I have mine. I hope yours works as well for you as mine does for me.
No, I must have misunderstood you. You said the more you give the more you get back. I'm not sure why you would not want to give if you really believe that. I must then infer you're only stating it to boost your self esteem and popularity within the group, which helps to prove my initial assertions.
Ha Ha, how's your self esteem these days? One thing for sure, you do have an inflated EGO! :thumbup:
I disagree.
It's not about him, but the message he's trying to convey.
Each Person, being a conscious self, HAS TO BE SELFISH. There is no other alternative when acting for any conscious being. All actions are for the self's satisfaction, even actions that help others. There need be no contradiction in his behavior or flaw in his character for this proposition to be real.
I typed this for myself, ultimately, AND for all of you, too. How about that?

If it were not for all the rich benefactors who pump money into chess, it would be deader than pool.
Also, not all of us old men are grumpy.

I feel sorry for people that actually think like that. They miss out on the real joys of life.
But, to disprove your theory, why did the atheist jump on the grenade? He sure wasn't doing it to make himself feel any better. Think about it.
