I think that's a great question. They're both still taking in billions per year after taking out their donations. So both are giving a lot but both still taking in a lot. For two guys who complain about income inequality, they're a big reason why.

Again, I'm not saying either person is greedy but that whole notion is a bit of an interesting topic for me now (how greed is viewed and how those views translate).

    The song Mony Mony (either Billy Idol or Tommy James and the Shondells' version). I fucking hate that song.

    I don't think you can call someone that donates more money in a year than you and your entire extended family make in a lifetime a greedy person.

    Re: What irritates you?

    Thanks to a wonderful Black Friday sale, I now have 27 vendor orders to pack out by 4pm tomorrow. A vendor order is usually a large, crate or palletized order, that takes about an hour to pull, test, pack, and seal. That means I have roughly 20 hours of work ahead of me (assuming some orders are small) before the truck comes at 4pm tomorrow. Fucking commercialism.

    It's unbelievable that every aspect of any job you have is unacceptable. Toughen up and deal with shit. It's never going to be easy. You sound like such a pussy (Edit: whiny cunt) when you complain about your jobs, like your the only one lifting a finger in this world.

    I deal with it, but I'm still going to bitch about it...in a thread for bitching about shit. If you don't like it, put me on ignore instead of whining about that. You, also sound like a whiny cunt. I work harder than most people in this lazy ass world will ever do. Interesting observation, most Ants activity takes place during the day, when most people should be working. Of course, most people sit their lazy asses at desks until their fingers are so tired from typing that they can't even jerk off when they get home because of carpal tunnel. I don't really post from work. I do my job.


    But seriously, just add me to your ignore list. And if you're going to edit a statement, don't leave your original statement in. You know nothing about me except you don't like my posts. I've been through shit in my life that most people wouldn't dream of, couldn't deal with. If I want to blow off steam in a thread about blowing off steam, then I will.

    addition: I just worked 14 hours straight doing the work that should be done by at least two more people because my boss is too cheap to hire additional help. But like I said before, I don't just bitch about it, I find other work. Forgive me if the working world pisses me off when I pay over 3/5 of my income for student loans for the next fucking 30 years. WORK SUCKS.

    I don't feel too sorry for people with crazy student loans. Not sure how people got themselves so deep in debt just going to school. I worked during school to help pay, which helped keep loans managable. Not sure how people (outside of doctors) rack up $100k+ in loans.

    No help from parents is the biggest thing.

    Let's say a state school costs 12K a year to attend just for tuition. Assuming you don't pay down any of that right away and take out loans that is 48K just for 4 years of school. That doesn't factor in books, food, residence etc.

    Let's say a kid does work and pays for everything but tuition, you are still looking at over 50K (including interest) just for the bare bones tuition. Pretty easy to see how 100K gets racked up at state schools.

    College is fucking expensive these days. I went to a private university for undergrad; luckily my parents footed most of the bill for that, which I'm very grateful for. Now, I'm at a private law school, and I'm going to be paying it off for a long time. I'll probably end up with about $150-160k in loans, plus interest.

    You can also make the case people should not work at least the first few years.

    Re: What irritates you?

    With the student loans, there's also a lot of wasted refund money by students. I see this first hand every day, as I'm a manager in the finance department for a large online university. Are education costs grossly higher than they should be? Absolutely. But students also don't always do what the should to keep their debts down. They borrow way more than they need to, piss away the extra money, and then complain about how much they owe. Say a students tuition and fees for a semester are $4000, but they're eligible for $6250 in loans and take it all out. They end up getting a refund check from their school for the extra $2250. What they should do with that money is to pay it back to their lender immediately (or just take out only what they need in the first place.) But we're talking about 18-22 year old people here so when a $2000 check shows up in the mail they rarely do the responsible thing.

    The Federal overall limit for Stafford Loan borrowing is $57,500 for an undergraduate student. My advisors talk to students pretty much daily who have reached that limit before even finishing their degree program. They call up, all pissed off - 'There's no way I could have borrowed that much already!!!' Then you go through their account and explain to them that they've received $20,000 out of that $57,500 back in refunds over the last 3 years and they get really quiet.

    What irritates you?

    If you aren't getting half of your school paid for by merit or academic based scholarships, perhaps university isn't for you and you should consider a trade.

    Granted, I did (academic), and I do agree that a decent number of kids go to college when they'd be better off learning a trade.

    That said, while there are a number of reasons why college may not be the best option for you, because you didn't get a scholarship isn't one of them.
