QUOTE(yo pusha @ Feb 12 2006, 4:27 PM) do you think that everyone only does something for their personal satisfaction? debate.  Sure, I'd say Bill and Melinda Gates are a prime example. They go way above and beyond the call when it comes to dishing out charity. Considering the fact that their charitable organization is worth $29 billion. And that itself filters directly to the impoverished people of the world. |
