Bill Gates DA MAN!

[johnquick302]

he has enough money to do it, maybe that is his next move...

Just imagine if a small fraction of that went into cancer research....

I don't get it.

An idea stolen from Apple...lol. No, sorry, but that's not the case. It's irrelevant anyhow, and I don't care to argue with you about it.

I do still maintain that your post is stupid. This is a great thing being done by someone who can actually make a difference, and all you can do is criticize it and bring up an issue which is trivial in comparison to the one is he attempting to solve.

I should have known better than to argue about hunger with and expert. As for your thoughts of the trivial nature of my concerns I can only lament your posts and celebrate his foundation's great accomplishments for those countries other than his own.

What? Starving people in foreign countries need it more than our kids. Just ask the Hamburgular.

That'd be really cool by me.

Are your kids starving?? If so, let me know, I'll hook them up with a happy meal.

I'm against welfare in this country (as I'm sure you are too).

People don't have to starve here, the problem is different. You posted something silly and you're trying to change the argument now. That's fine, I'm done

Here is an article published in the year 2000 showing some of Gates' donations...

"-$1 billion over 20 years to establish the Gates Millennium Scholarship Program, which will support promising minority students through college and some kinds of graduate school.

-$750 million over five years to the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization, which includes the World Health Organization, the Rockefeller Foundation, Unicef, pharmaceutical companies and the World Bank.

-$350 million over three years to teachers, administrators, school districts and schools to improve America’s K-12 education, starting in Washington State.

-$200 million to the Gates Library Program, which is wiring public libraries in America’s poorest communities in an effort to close the “digital divide.”

-$100 million to the Gates Children’s Vaccine Program, which will accelerate delivery of lifesaving vaccines to children in the poorest countries of the world.

-$50 million to the Maternal Mortality Reduction Program, run by the Columbia University School of Public Health.

-$50 million to the Malaria Vaccine Initiative, to conduct research on promising candidates for a malaria vaccine.

-$50 million to an international group called the Alliance for the Prevention of Cervical Cancer.

-$50 million to a fund for global polio eradication, led by the World Health Organization, Unicef, Rotary International and the U.N. Foundation.

-$40 million to the International Vaccine Institute, a research program based in Seoul, South Korea.

-$28 million to Unicef for the elimination of maternal and neonatal tetanus.

-$25 million to the Sequella Global Tuberculosis Foundation.

-$25 million to the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative, which is creating coalitions of research scientists, pharmaceutical companies and governments in developing countries to look for a safe, effective, widely accessible vaccine against AIDS."

The Gates family is one of the most giving and charitable familys in the entire world.

I'm not changing the argument at all, I listed MEdicare/Medicaid as an example; and while I didn't deny that people are starving over there you clearly have no idea what the fuck you're talking about in regards to the scientific/healthcare needs in this country. Welfare? WTF are you talking about?

"i'm done" is the smaertest thing you've said so far. Leave it at that.

I'm still waiting for you to say a "smaert" thing. That's why I'm done, I think it will be a while.

I bring up welfare because you seem to be so concerned about all the starving people here lol...where are they again?

Bravo. :applause:

Gates and Buffet are donating almost all of their fortunes to charity when they die. Their kids will get a relatively small amount (still 8 figures of course) but the rest is supposed to go to helping the rest of humanity which is pretty darn cool.

I must be mistaken then about all the problems here. Carry on Dorothy.
