Bill Gates makes monsterous donation

[MattE30]

global vaccination project? wow.
There are hundreds of better places that money could have gone.

You do know that 3rd world countries have no money to get vaccines that we take for granted and are still dying from diseases that are easily cured here?

There are other problems in the world that warrent donations besides the tsunami disaster.

don't forget the billions in global health care costs that would be saved if more people were vaccinated. and sick people don't help the economy much either..

Michael Schumacher donated $10 Million to the tsunami relief

[mph]

I love when people say Bill Gates has $60 billion. If you tell me he has $60 billion, you're a fucking idiot. True, $60 billion, but thats if he liquidates EVERYTHING he owns and his corporation owns, mind you he doesn't own all of it.

Just as everyone else said, $750 million is a shitload to give. I'm sure he and his people did plenty of research before chosing to donate to that effort.

When you all start to make millions, try donating. Yeah, he does have a lot of money. But in retrospect, do you donate more than $1,000 towards a charity a year? Didn't think so.

^(thats figuring you all make $60,000 a year.) I sure don't know a lot of people who donate a 60th of their salary a year... and Bill Gates gives way more than a 60th of his salary.
