Re: What good are we? As poker players, are we socially responsible?
Yeah, but you still haven't contributed anything *new*. You're just donating somebody else's money. The guy you won it from could have donated it himself.
On the flipside, the money you won that you spent on coke and hookers might have been donated to charity by the guy you won it from, had he not lost it.
Like I said, this has nothing to do with "meaningful" - it's strictly an economics question, not a values question. Playing poker itself does not contribute anything. Poker players *may* contribute things.
