I dare say I could find 101 things about Gates of which I'd take issue. However, as I said before, regardless of his background, his foundation is trying to tackle issues issues of which world leaders see no political mileage in tackling themselves. He's probably far from perfect but who is?
He far worse than what he appears fella he's an horrific human being and I could go on all night about why his spending is about an agenda rather than an act of kindness......but the frequent epstein island visits should tell you all you should need to know about him. I get why people feel he's doing a good thing and I don't blame you clingo or anyone else but I've looked at him from a different angle myself and it's not a pretty sight
Fair enough Aber. I confess that I know very little about his personal life and I'll bow to your expertise in that area. However, I stand by my appreciation of the good that he does. I learned a while back that it's a good idea to try and separate the person and their behaviour. So his good behaviour is worthy of plaudits and by what you say, his bad behaviour is worthy of criticism. Perhaps his is a high degree of hypocrisy!
With all due respect dude .....the guy is a monster and only life in jail for him and his ilk are good enough. Epstein Island was a blackmail trap and he's in thy pockets because he couldn't resist his sexual needs Tbh it's incredible that the investigation into the world's largest child trafficking and ****philia and necrophilia organisation stopped at the one they killed and one who's silent in jail waiting for her death. Nothing to see here move along Repulsive init
"However, I stand by my appreciation of the good that he does. I learned a while back that it's a good idea to try and separate the person and their behaviour. So his good behaviour is worthy of plaudits" Dude I love u 2 bit but please forget about the fake image he's a good guy for a sec(even though I could argue none of it is good)......all ****philes do good in parts its a fking trait look at Jimmy Saville and others gone before him......its a public mask and you should look behind
Interesting combination of hobbies there dude You clearly know a lot more about him than I do. Maybe it's my reluctance to read too much of the sensationalism that does the rounds these days. So in that respect I admit I'm uninformed. That doesn't mean I dispute what you have said, it just means I don't know. So perhaps to conclude I'll just revise my statement and say that good work is being done by the foundation. Good talking dude. And get your prediction in
clingo!!! World peace is your nexrt challenge. With diplomatric skill such as this you are wasted here!!!! Unless we bring back John Hughs....now theree was a challenge!!!
The diplomacy compensates for my hair trigger issues! Memories of JH get fonder with the passing of time. No doubt his behaviour was an attempt to compensate for his own issues.
With JH you are too generous Clingo. He would start an argument with himself just to pass the time. You may be right about his personal issues but heaven helps them who help themselves.
I know I used to get irate with JH. Hopefully, he's mellowed and found some peace. As for heaven helping anyone, I have severe doubts about that theory. But that's a whole different debate
Clingo - the mere mention of "trigger" brought these to mind - John Sullivan was a brilliant character creator - 15 of the best....... 1. "If it's a girl they're gonna name it Sigourney, after the actress. And if it's a boy they're gonna name him Rodney, after Dave." 2. "This old broom has had 17 new heads and 14 new handles." 3. Referring to his own dad: "He died a couple of years before I was born." 4. Del Boy: "We had Denzil in goal, we had Monkey Harris at left-back, we had... camaraderie." Trigger: "Was that the Italian boy?" 5. Mike: "Ladies and Gentleman, will you please raise your glasses to our future mum and dad, Cassandra and Rodney!" All: "Cassandra and Rodney." Trigger: "Cassandra and Dave." 6. Uncle Albert: "How did you walk into a mind your head sign? Didn't you see it?" Trigger: "Of course I saw it. But in those days, I couldn't read." 7. Visiting the local council tip. Del Boy: "You said it was open 24 hours a day." Trigger: "Yeah, but not at night." 8. Trigger on Gandhi: "He made one great film and then you never saw him again..." 9. On dressing up for the funeral wake: “Yeah, I come as a chauffer. I feel a bit stupid now.” 10. "What's the name of that bloke who invented the Dyson vacuum cleaner?" 11. Rodney: "I don't want to talk about it Trig. You ever been wrongly accused of something?" Trigger: "Yeah, once." Rodney: "Yeah, How did you get out of it?" Trigger: "Well I didn't - I was guilty." 12. Rodney: "Wherever I lay my hat, that's my home." Trigger: "You've got a hat now, have you, Dave?" 13. Del: "This is my punishment, isn't it? Spending the rest of my life in this wheelchair." Trigger: "Still, it could have been worse." Mike: "How?" Trigger: "My gran had one with a squeaky wheel." 14. Rodney: "So ummm... what you doing here, Trig?" Trigger: "Well Del said he'd give me a lift to the pub." Rodney: "Oh, right. But you live closer to the pub than us." Trigger: "I know." Rodney: "In fact, you have to walk past the pub to get to this flat." Trigger: "Yeah? But Del said he'd give me a lift!" 15. Boycie: "Had the wife in tears you know, still Marlene's easily touched." Trigger: "Yeah, as Del said earlier all the lads remember Marlene."
