"I suggest, for your own health, you try settle down"

Spent 2 hours at the gym this morning. Never felt better (or stronger) in my whole life.
I suggest you worry about your own health, how about that?

"The Foundation is funding a five-year initiative to expand national campaigns in Botswana, Ghana, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania that will educate youth about preventing HIV/AIDS and ensure that they can protect themselves. "

$57 Million from Gates to fight AIDS in Africa.
When did that become a crime?
BTW.I am still awaiting those pics of Gates "kiling babies" as you pout it in your earlier post.

He has taken money out of the capitalist world and is now giving it to the non-governmental-organization / non-profit world.

This cannot be helpful to the cause of freedom.

The fact you own stock in a company run by a man you praise as G*d is relevant, not illegal, not wrong, and not a factor for disqualification of what you say, but it is a filter to put your words through. Hell you consider the fact I use Linux to be important.

Why on earth should I be critical of Gates saving 670,000 lives in Africa?

Nobody is saying you should.

Again show me when and where (plus pictures" of Gates actually killing these babies you keep screaming about.

Ahh so the fact he give more money than anyone else on the planet to planned parenthood internation and the UN population control fund is not enough for you? Talk about being blinded to the truth. You are the definition of fanatic.

I will go after anyone in a second for doing something like that, I will tell my own parents they are wrong if they did that.

You are an open source crazy

Not true, or relivent Gates-hating lunatic,with an instinctive knee jerk "attack Microsoft at all costs", self-destructice, nature.

Yes I hate a man who funds abortions, wow Im really out there huh?

You worship the ground someone walks on, a man of all people. To you he can do no wrong, when he does something obvious like give money to a group that kills babies you give him a pass. When someone points this out to you you attack them as eing crazy and unamerican...

No.

We're from an NGO that Bill Gates has funded, and we're here to help YOU.

Whether you like it or not.

When you give money to non-profits, they usually lobby to restrict freedom somehow.

Here's Bill Gates doing the same thing.

BILL GATES EATS CHILDREN!

The money was given to the UNFPA, and since money is fungible and UNFPA devotes a lot of its time to pushing abortion among non-whites, I'd say the language you quoted is meaningless.

You have the wrong guy, but I will point out to you that if Gates pays for the abortions but keeps his hands clean, he is culpable despite the absence of pics.

In my opinion, this is the way it should work. Those with money should make the decisions as to what charities will benefit. It is wrong for governments to take it as taxes, and then decide who benefits (after taking a hefty charge for their own benefit).

I have never mentioned God and Gates in the same sentence before.


"Ahh so the fact he give more money than anyone else on the planet to planned parenthood internation and the UN population control fund is not enough for you?"

Even your own on link said Gates gave $57 Million to the UN for AIDES in Africa. The fact that the UN agency then happened to use of that money for Planned Praenthood stuff is still a very long way from Gates "killing babies" as you keep screaming on every siongle Microsoft thread.
My last thread was about Microsoft PDA and embedded software and you still managed to slip in your usual "Gates is killing babies" whine.

"Not true, or relivent "

True and VERY relevant.
I have fought with you on every single Microsoft post I put here.
You just can't help it, you gotta go attack Microsoft everyday or you go crazy.
Come, com, admit your sickness.

Just think how much the BOSSES are making, if their Aides make that much.

I suggest you read what Gates gave the money for below again.
Nothing about abortion in there.
Plus UNFPA does great work with educating the youth in African countries (including my own country) on the use of condoms both to prevent AIDES and STD's, plus prevent the young men from getting other school girls pregnant before they are ready to look after a familly..





"The Foundation is funding a five-year initiative to expand national campaigns in Botswana, Ghana, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania that will educate youth about preventing HIV/AIDS and ensure that they can protect themselves. The government of each country, in partnership with UNFPA, and two United States-based international non-governmental organizations, PATH (Program for Appropriate Technology in Health) and Pathfinder International as well as local groups will implement the programmes. As per UNFPA standards, the program will include graphic sex-education and condom promotion among youth"

As has been well pointed out to you the money he gave was fungible within PPI, so giving them money was giving them the tools they needed to kill babies. The nurse at the desk of an abortion clinic does not kill the baby but she is wrong to help someone who does!

My last thread was about Microsoft PDA and embedded software and you still managed to slip in your usual "Gates is killing babies" whine.

Link? I can not see myself going after bill for this unless while complaining about something the 'he is a wonderful man who gives to the poor" was rolled out.

True and VERY relevant.

Well we will have to disagree that my choice of OS is relevant to if funding abortion is ok..

Come, com, admit your sickness.

Please out of the two of us I am much more likely to attack an OSS community member and defend a MS user than you are to codem the action of a MS user and defend an OSS community member. This thread is a perfect example of that you cant bring yourself to admit that Bill gates funding Planned Parenthood is wrong. You keep deflecting and hiding in your wonderful world of denile, I know your from Africa but De'Nile aint just a river there...

They can say whatever they want. I can say I gave $57 million to Planned Barrenhood for redecorating. Money is still fungible, and they are still free to do whatever they want.


Press releases are not the most reliable source of information. UNFPA exports abortion services, usually to non-white nations. It's a very ugly operation, just like Planned Barrenhood.


Infamous bigot Margaret Sanger would be very proud.

I think you'd do better to take 68_grunt's advise. I've been on this board long enough to have seen many generations of kneepadders come and go. You particular version of it comes of as sounding shrill and woefully uninformed. Your obvious hero worship of gates causes everything you say to be instantly discounted by heavy margins because it is so horribly and obviously twisted.

Being from africa (which is your claim), you may not be familiar with the term "kneepadder". You might want to investigate and see how well it describes your posting here.

I know exactly why I dislike the software that comes out of the Gates empire as strongly as I do, and I can assure you that some communist ideology has nothing to do with it.

Your problem, sir, is that you are far too transparent for your own good here.
