You could say that. And you'd be right. However you'd still have a weaker will if you could sit down at a poker table and
not lose control of his rational betting patterns. It's pretty straight-forward if you consider that the human tendency is towards the perceived easier option. I can't believe I'm arguing over my troll
That's because you have a slave morality. If you look at it from a pragmatic perspective everyone comes out up though. You gain your money. A few people lose a very small amount of money (each) and gain satisfaction because they believe they've helped poor people. The poor people don't get helped but you never intended on helping them like this in the first place so there's no way you can say there's a real loss involved there.
