Two Words : Windows Vista. Now STFU Bill.
Tell you what Bill, a poor China is a lesser threat ace.
Yeah, I can't wait until China has a super world class military and economy, 50 times larger than ours.
Tough call. Maybe Ted will cannibalize Bill and then shut down unexpectedly saving the world from ever hearing either of their moronic opinions again.
I do see that possibility. Bill Gates just cares about earning his money in huge Chinese market.
Bottom line.
That’s right, DoughtyOne!
Gates is a greedy pro-Communist sob as is Treasury Sec. wuss Paulson. They are kow tow to the Little Red Devils who make them so much $$$. Google and Yahoo owners are no better, making the Communists more powerful over their people.
Globalist scum!
Does Bill attend the Bilderberg meetings?
Fracking rich pinko.
I love it.
A rich China not threat to world, Bill Gates says...
waht a freakin idiot...but he just wants to sell his crappy windows vista to china before they copy it and sell the bootlegs back to the US for half the price!!!!
Microslop strikes again . . .
bloated buggy software . . .
and bloated buggy traitorous political pontifications . . .
all outrageously priced and held out as the best thing since Shrillery’s chronic, habitual and pathological lies.
Must be a globalist disease.
A rich one isn’t. A militant one is.
