It’s like they forgot where they made their money at! Another example is that skank Madonna now in England Badmouthing Americans.

Give the guy a break just because he happens to give money to people in other nations (horrors!!!). It IS his money isn't it? Check out just a fraction of the money he has given away in the U.S. This is just for education for 2002. The list goes on and on for all years and many other areas of philanthropy.

Sean,
Though that's very generous, it's only one tenth of what India is getting!

Bad investment. What a sellout!

I heard it was 100 million for aids education and prevention. I too would rather see the money spent here, but it is his money.

The $100 mil was in addition

All the other money is to probably train computer programmers ... that's why programmers here in the US can't find work

I dont understand why you are mad at him?!?
your goverment put him to court...pissed him off
its his money ,he can do whatever he wants...goverment should think about this before ...
am I wrong?

You are 100% correct timucin...I would also have a certain bit of resentment towards the government.

But to shoot down your own people, the needy in your own country, in favor of recruiting new programmers in India...I just don't agree.

Timucin,
your right but it still sucks !! I'm in the techie industry so its my job I worry about. I didn't do anything to piss him off, my computer at home has Microsoft on it !!

India = People factory!
