so guess it is an appropriate pay back.

I'd be careful w anything to do w Gates. The man's intentions are not honorable and he is the furthest thing from the humanitarian he portrays himself to be. He's on board w Kissinger, Rockefeller and the rest of the global elite, whose ultimate goal is depopulation. Maybe this condom is a means to help achieve their goal.

For not being a professional do-gooder (don't remember him ever taking a vow of poverty), he puts a much larger percentage of his wealth at trying to make the world a better place than I do, probably a larger percentage than 99% of the people who criticized him here on the board (someone's going to jump up with an "oh, yeah?!?!" response).

Of course you believe whatever you read on the 'net? Wow.  

because the print and broadcast media report the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth

What did you expect from the billionaire who donates millions to develop a new toilet! rather than a company that puts out a finished product that doesn't have to be constantly updated every 10 seconds....

also fund my hobbying bill.

who are succeeding where Pinky and the Brain could not!

who are so quick to promote redistribution of other people's money.  

Look up CPM. He redistributed it and it did not belong to him. In the older PC the boot was CPM, DOS, WIN. I suspect it still is, just faster and renamed. Bill and Steve also wrote viruses for a hobby in the early days. They may be involved in some high profile philanthropic work, but that by itself does not make them good people. If he really wants to do some good, send me a few mil. and I will personally see that it is distributed, one envelope full at a time.(Ha Ha)

He's one of the big backers of Common Core, which is designed to prevent the education system from accomplishing its primary objective, which is to teach the next generation how to think critically.

With a Common Core-oriented school system, it will be next to impossible for anybody to design a "Microsoft 2.0"; it will be nearly as impossible to think outside of the box in a Common Core world as it was for new ideas to be conceived in Orwell's "Newspeak" in "1984".

Yes, Gates is doing good stuff with regard to impoverished people in Africa--but if think he'd be doing a lot more for he world if he went back to being an entrepreneur, and left the philanthropy to others.

y'all go way off the rails when you delve into tech and politics

Remember his death was reported on Facebook and everyone believed it immediately... because one post was so convincing. (Convincing meaning someone posted that it happened and everyone believed it lol.)
