Re: Poker is neither moral nor immoral - maybe
[ QUOTE ]
If you sell peanuts and someone who's allergic to them buys some, eats them and dies, does that make selling peanuts immoral? By the same token, poker isn't immoral. You're not responsible for other people's actions.
Now... if you encourage someone who really sucks to play you, that may be pushing it, but simply sitting down at a table and playing is certainly just fine.

Yes, but people who are allergic to peanuts, don’t buy peanuts. Those very few that don’t know they are allergic are acting rationally, just making a one time mistake. People who are harmed by poker, play poker in droves and continue to harm themselves over and over ( and this is something you know in advance ).
