The game of billiards is highly overrated. I would say that half the people that shoot pool are fat, lazy, stupid, drunks, whores, because pool is played in bars is why it gets so much attention. Before you even think about buying an expensive pool table you should look in the paper or Internet. There are probably 10 million pool tables sitting in homes right now gathering dust, because the game is boring. Buying a new table is not very smart. But before you buy a pool table, please go and play ping pong and you'll see how fun the game is and you'll see how boring billiards is.

Even though I know full well that this is the same jackass asking the same question for the fourth time under a different profile, I'll actually dignify this with a response. According to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, approximately 47 million people in the United States played pool and/or billiards at least once in 2006. Of that 47 million, 13.5 million played at least 13 times. It was the fourth most popular sport in the United States. 40 percent of those players earned at least $75K/year. I didn't see table tennis anywhere close on the list. I really don't even see what the point of all your questions are. Do you just assume that because somebody is in a bar, they are fat, lazy, drunk, and promiscuous? Are you with Al-Qaida or something? Do you work for the ping pong industry? Do you honestly think that you can just say how boring your believe something is and somehow you'll change even one person's mind? If anything, you're just hurting your own cause, if you even have one. M.D.-BCA Instructor/Referee.

P.S. You know that Finkel J and John F are the same person. Just like John F had three different names already when he posted the same question earlier. He just made up another profile so he could give himself Best Answer or at least make it seem like somebody else agrees with him. "Virgin" comes to mind. Think how much time he has wasted making up all of these profiles, sitting in front of a computer. My hunch is he's an 18 year old college freshman who thinks he has a clue about anything because he joined some campus activist group to pick up granola chicks, and now he's just so outraged with all of the injustice and ignorance perpetrated by his own country that and he wishes he could just bury his face in Michael Moore's bosom so he could protect him from all the evil Americans. I know the type all too well; condescending, deluded, elitist, pseudo-intellectual windbags.
