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 am in no way contributing to their degeneration.

If I were calling them up and asking them to play?
Probably so.
But I am not.

I am sitting down at a table with a stack of my own money, and giving them a fair shot at winning some of it. In return, I get a fair shot at winning some of theirs.

That is all I am doing.
