    There's no such thing as perspective when talking about those kinds of figures.

    sums up the pathetic begrudgery of the irish.


    warren buffet warned years ago of these debt instruments that have destroyed the world, didn't invest in them and has lost this money as a result of all other stocks falling.


    you have no sympathy for a man who built up such a status over his life and in old age, lost so much of it after warning the world.

    begrudgery ,LOL , quote the rest of my post too please, my point is its all relative, I dont feel any worse for him than a man who is after losing half his savings thats worth only a couple of grand. So what Im saying is, it doesnt put it into perspective.

    To the best of knowledge, Bill Gates' day job is giving away most of his money to debt relief and AIDS eradication, so it's probably a good thing that he isn't losing it all.
