  Name one bad historical person that didn’t do at least some good.

  Your moral compass is broken.

    The charity did more than some good though.

      That’s not how it works, it’s not like “I do some good, now I can do some bad”. It does not even out.

      Bad people doesn’t become good because “some good things came out of it”.

      If you do bad, then you are bad.

    Lol no. Of all the sleazy and greasy millionaires, Gates is one of the few whose actions speaks for themselves. Dude has been doing noble causes for most of my life.

    I’m all for talking shit about the rich, but it better be true.

        Sure, and where is your proof that Bill needs one, let alone uses one?

      Every dictator did “some good work”, are you thinking they are good people?

      IMO your moral compass need maintenance.

      It capitalized Wash because spell checker is the leaf on the wind.

      the ends don’t justify the means.

      Hitler experimented on hundreds of thousands of Jews and the medical world benefited from it greatly.

      does that mean you’re going to nuance the Nazi regime because they “did some good”?

      no amount of good is worth the ounce of evil used to make it.

        I hate billionaires as much as the next gal, but I think comparing Bill Gates to Hitler is a bit extreme
