Re: Does professional poker contribute to society?

Why is this argument still going on? It is simple:
1) Playing poker as a pro doesn't really contribute to society
2) That's ok though, you can contribute in other ways if you feel so compelled.
3) Stop with the "pro's provide entertainment for the average guy wanting to play a game of poker" argument. That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. If someone wants to find a game online there are thousands of games going. I'm sure they would have no trouble finding a game if pro's didn't exist.
And entertainment? Most online pro's rarely chat. It's the average joe playing online that chats and provides an entertaining atmosphere.
Do you really believe that people wouldn't be able to get poker games going in Vegas without pro's? They sure seem to do just fine getting roulette games going.

Thanks for reinforcing my feeling of sanity.
