God Damn Bill Gates!

[Purpura Delujo]

I HATE THE SON OF A BITCH! He is such a spoiled arse, he deserves to get raped by angry male silverback gorillas in mating season. He never helps any third world countries, or homeless people. He is more interested in having way too much money to spend. How can he spend all 1 trillion dolars he has on himself? Anyone hate him like I do? Post up what you would like to happen to him :ylsuper. I have bad thoughts of my maths teacher too, but I will not share those as they may present mental scaring.

Ummmmm.....why should he give money to 3rd world countries? He worked his ass off to be where hes at today. Yes he has $63 billion but this wealth is aquired through his stocks. I'm sure he has a few billion in a bank account, but his ranking as one of the richest in the world is based on his shares of stock ownership. I've read that he does give money to various charities though, which is the same thing I would do. It's not Bill Gates fault that these countries are in such great poverty. Yes it is sad but there is no reason why he should give his hard earned money to them. Another guy that visits AF, I will leave his name out of this post to respect him, but he has talked business with Bill Gates on several occasions and says he is a very very nice guy who likes to ask questions. I think you have no true hatred of him, you just hate him b/c he has more money than you(and I and everyone for that matter).

And i'm sure he hates ignorant morons like you too
Ever heard of the 'Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation'?
The largest single charitable body in the US.

That's the big charity I was thinking of, but I couldn't remember it.

Why should he give his hard earned money away to these impoverished nations like these African countries when we all know it will simply disappear due to corruption?

[SilverLotus340R]

the thing is that he is WORTH 63 billion he doesnt actually HAVE it... but he could have it at his dispense at any moment.

but i agree the money would go no where. if it was invested in charity itd be corrupted and if it actually got to the 3rd world nation it wouldnt be used for essential things...

if I was bill I would cash in my stock and get out before it falls...ha ha

Bill Gates is stupid. He copied some dude's idea for Microsoft, and got a shit load of money for it.

Welcome to the real world. If you don't have a patent or copyright on your idea, its perfectly legal to take it and run with it.

He's still a bastard. Ever hear about how "microsoft" got its name? His wife named it for him.

When you have that much money coming out of your ears... Gosh, I mean... Yeah, I'd keep what I needed to live a "very comfortable" life, but I can't imagine having money sitting around. I'd have to do something with it, and I wouldn't be able to spend it all on me or my friends/family. He just bothers me. He's got that same smug, lil bastard grin as Dubya, and that scares me.

[TexasF355F1]

Same smug smirk as the president huh? Everytime I've seen him on t.v. he's always smiling, not smirking. No one in here can give an honest sensible reason as to why they hate Bill Gates except that he has billions of dollars. That's not a good reason to hate someone, and if you hate him that much buy an Apple....oh wait, he owns part of that too. So move to Linux. Almost anything computer based and running some form of programming(be it DOS, Windows,etc) he's gonna see money roll in. And why? Because he's an extremely smart business man who knows how to make money. So to say you hate someone because he's more rich and powerful than you is ignorance. I think its time for a mod to close this thread because I can see an argument breaking out.

"Bill Gates" and "hard earned money" should never ever be put into the same sentence, learn some history.
Speaking as somebody who has helped open a museum about computing history (digi barn museum, look it up on the web) I can say that Bill very likely never "hard earned" anything dealing with computers.
If it hadn't been for Gary Kildall's refusing to do bussiness with IBM, Gates would have never gotten the job of making them an OS, which he didn't even make when he did get the contract, he just bought an existing product!!!
Then when the computing public was too ignorant to see that Unix was the next step forward and sat around using MS-DOS, his fate as billionare was sealed.

He's a dork, but I don't hate him.

[jon@af]

I think everyone's just mad because he's got more money then we will see in our lifetime.

This thread has little to do with Bill Gates but more to do with Jealousy

Apparantly dual G4 processor doesn't mean anything to you. JOKING, laugh already. I'm hard-core Mac/Apple, and always have been. The Classic Mac has always been good to me and the Unix kernel of Jaguar is almost shatterproof. Linux will probably be my next adventure. I'll have to wait til after I get some programming experience.

Yeah, I'm jealous of his money, but I've also seen "Pirates of Silicon Valley" which happens to be a good movie, and my disliking of his character is thus established.
