What you say might be true Jonhnny, but that doesn't change the fact that when you play poker you're actually contributing to the degeneration of those people. You're right that the same goes for the casinos, but at least that's not because of my doings. Note that I'm ofcourse overexaggerating because it doesn't make a jack difference whether you and I are playing or not, those people would still lose money. Not more not less, but it's just that I feel somewhat responsible for that when I play poker.

I agree somewhat... difficult debate though. Perhaps the answers should be directed more towards prevention/intervention with the extreme problem gamblers. I don't feel bad at all about taking money from players that just really suck and are there to have a fun time and the money is not a big deal to them (many of the players where I play) but I see where you are coming from regarding taking money from the guy that is ultratilting and borrowing money to try and get out of debt and obviously has a major problem. That can be hard.
