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?

yes.
[ QUOTE ]
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.

i agree with this, although i still think the majority of "entertainment" losers lose far more than they want to or realize.
at the same time, its your entertainment dollar = it's your choice.
