Do you think being a good guy, making the lives of your friends/family more enjoyable, paying taxes, and other mundane aspects of life qualify as contributing to society?

i don't see how you think these things don't, and i also dont see how you could think poker does.

Well if the poker player goes out and does these things, has he not just proved your argument wrong? And many people who lost at poker (such as myself at times0 justify it as spending money for entertainment. To do anything entertaining requires paying a fee, poker players provided the opportunity to play poker.
