wrong he could give away 90% of his wealth and live better than 99.5% of the population... but thats hardly the point is it.

I cant believe people pick holes in the fact he gives so much, so willingly.

sad.

 

Thanx for the correction but we both know the exact percentages are irrelevant.

 

My criticisms are aimed more at Humans in general than bill gates , I couldn't say i'd give away 90% of my wealth if I had as much as he did because i've never been in that situation.  I'd hope however that if I had the power to change hundreds of millions of lives and still live comfortably i'd take advantage of that power.


Bill Gates gives to charity , that's great that can't be faulted but it's not all that amazing ... by saying that i'm not faulting him . He clicks a button and transfers large amounts to a charity's bank account , then returns to his luxury . He has done good deeds no doubt but all those speaking of him in messianic ways are clearly fooling themselves.

There are those who give larger portions of their wealth to charity , those who sacrifice what little they have so that those who have nothing might have something  , those who dedicate their lives to the welfare of others ; those are the type of people we need to be commending and putting in the news and praising for all the good things they do.

He does more than click a button and transfer large amounts of money, you're obviously biased against him seen as you're coming up with crap without doing any research.
