Are all poker players degenerates?

I think you really need to ask yourself who is telling you to equate degenerate with poker player, and ask yourself why you're letting these people place their assumptions in your mind.

Believe it or not, I thought up that question all by myself. I'm not a church goer, my mother is deceased, so it's not like I have some toffy-nosed old lady castigating me about "those degenerate poker players you hang around with". It was just, based totally from reading here, a question of curiosity.
