| Commando said: For the sake of argument. Yes I am comparing them because of the concept bieng the same. School was not their Forte. Also let us not forget that Gates (and Hitler ha ha ha /jk) are bieng judged ex post facto. Gates is only reverred because he succeseded through forgery and lying on a contract (he claimed to have ownership of an OS that he did not). I am 100% positive that at the time all of us would have thought much less of gates than this 16 year old. Yet we do not consider it the same because we know the "success" of Gates. (Its possible God put a stickey note on his soul that says 'epic fail!' /lol)
btw. Thanks for the ratings and posts guys! |
It angers me that you put this kid and Gates in the same sentence. Creating a business with far more education, , and leaving school for a god damned videogame are not the same thing. One cannot even hold a candle to the other. $1000 is a crappy amount of money to convince a kid that he should drop out of school. It's sad and makes this country look dumber and dumber than we're already looking. What happens if this kid gets thrown off course with him gaming career?...what will he have? At 16 years old $1000 dollars is a pittance and couldn't sway me, any more than it cannot today. I've been making money in those amounts monthly since I was 13. Imagine how much i've saved up now, and im chasing my bachelors. This kids a joke. That kids parents need to have weekly meetings with DCF and a psychologist until he turns 18.
