So what? If he is a sociopath, so what? Are you trying to insinuate he has dark ulterior motives for his charity efforts?
If not, why is his personality worth a damn to the discussion?
- rbanffy 13y ago> Are you trying to insinuate he has dark ulterior motives for his charity efforts? Dark ulterior motives? No. Being remembered as a philanthropist rather than a robber-baron is quite enough. Hs is doing good, but he is not doing good for the good of others.
- sliverstorm 13y agoWhy the f%ck do you care if he is doing it to be remembered? Since when was the value of charitable works derived from the motive?

- icebraining 13y agoThe discussion started by matthewmacleod is about the moral character of Bill Gates, not the value of his charitable works. For most people, intentions are important when discussing the former.
