A lot of billionaires do good things with their money

Not surprisingly they tend to be self-made and from the tech sectors. Brains and some compassion. I suppose Buffet is the slight exception to the rule.

I see where you're coming from there 8bit. But if you actually think about the amount of money billionaires have (just in personal wealth), the "good" they do with it, is pitiful in comparison. You're talking about the very rich few, who genuinely have enough money and power to affect change in this world or even just their own countries.

But they don't, why? Because it'd mean they'd not be able to be billionaires anymore. They'd only get to keep a couple hundred million. The ridiculously rich are and always have been, humanity's greatest problem. Their greed and obsession with accumulating more wealth than the ungodly sum they already have, is the cause of pretty much all the suffering in this world.

Btw not saying nobody should be rich. Just that nobody should have more money as fortune than some small countries have period.

*as a personal fortune.

How is what I'VE said racist. You haven't got a clue have you?

There's nothing racial about my stance mate. Unless you class the disgracefully wealthy as a race. Prejudice yes, racist, noThis is about the incredibly rich and the rest of us. I'm sure you can find plenty of "little people" whom had their lives crushed to build the sporting empire you're deluded enough to believe is squeaky clean.

"If you dont understand the difference between inheriting or accruing wealth through capitalism and the way russian state assets were distributed following the break up of the soviet union then im not going to bother talking to you, no point arguing with a fool"

You genuinely think that "inheriting or accruing wealth through capitalism" to the extent that Kronke has, doesn't involve stepping on an awful lot of people and doing alot of dodgy deals carving up the lives of thousands. And you're calling ME a fool.

Proper little mug aren't you. Bet you blame people on benefits and immigration for the country having no money whilst admiring the rich people bending you and the rest of the country over with tax avoidance. You silly man
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wtf is this?

You seem desperate to argue with me but can't even read what I've said

You.mentioned stan's skin colour as if it made any difference to my opinion of him or usmanov... An unnecessary inclusion of race to muddy the argument about whether we want to compromise the integrity of the club just to bring in a sugar daddy

Stick to your ad hominems and straw man tactics, no point talking to a fool like yourself

Watch the first 40 seconds of this video WB2. I'm not disagreeing with you but you're assuming all billionaires the same of part of the same system.

The integrity is compromised either way IDIOT! Because they are billionaires and THAT'S capitalism. Don't sit there going on about me not reading what you've written when you're repeatedly missing the point that it's making.

I'll dumb it down so you get it.

Billionaires are bad. No matter where they come from. They've ALL trodden on too many of us to get and stay there. Don't be mad at me, that is simply the rules to the game they have to play. "Nice" "Good" people don't generally get there (unless born so). Because it requires a ruthless streak they don't have.

Come back when you understand how the capitalism you so admire Mr Kronke for mastering, actually works

8bit

You get what I'm saying. I will admit I'm being a tad sweeping with what I've said. But that's because CEG started blathering about Kronke's fortune smelling of roses because he gained his billions through capitalism and I was making a point. Though I don't why I bothered, he still doesn't get it.

Straw manning again

You seem confused and are desperate to make it into a Me Vs You discussion when the discussion should be about whether we want Usmanov in control of our club

I never said the sun shined out of Stan's backside but I think he is the lesser of 2 evils

I look forward to your response once you've taken 5 hours to work out your best insults again
