What good are we? As poker players, are we socially responsible?

Poker is just another gambling game that's mostly played for recreation. What's different from it is that it can be beaten and you can make alot of money doing it. So of course people are going to try to take advantage of that, myself included.

Asking this question can be applied to gambling in general... what good is gambling other than losing your money and having fun? It doesn't produce anything and it doesnt help anybody (except the casino and maybe the people that win)... But the same could be said for poker, too.
