Bullfighting has special status as being of cultural importance under EU law.Bullfighting. Whilst not the worst thing we are capable of, it has no place in the 21st century and yet successive govts of Spain (including the current Socialist regime) do nothing about it. Not only that but the EU do nothing about it either.
And that's why the EU, politicians, bullfighters are, without beating around the bush, cunts.Bullfighting has special status as being of cultural importance under EU law.
Your not going to take big financial risks if all you end up with is $1mActually nobody NEEDS more than $1m. Why is that not the dividing line?
So when I have $499 million I simply tell my accountant to find somewhere to put any future money or give it my kids in trust or 100 other ways to keep it.$500 million
Nobody absolutely nobody needs more than that.
Anybody got any pics of what a chip barm looks like. I understand the 'chip' bit but I'm fucked with the 'barm' bit. On the other hand, is it anything to do with Koolhand Khaldoon's predilection for a chip muffin?
By nature all human beings want to have more, that is how we survive. Fortunately there are some who want more but also want to help others. We do overtime to get more, whether it is a new TV or simply more food.Haha the old philanthrophy con.
Great PR of course and entirely tax deductible.
Percentage wise compared to their worth it's like me buying a Big Mac for a beggar.
Maybe you should ask you're mate Steve Jobs why his Chinese workers are so devastatingly poor, many of them have committed suicide.
You know what Misty I could write reams about the super-rich and how they are damaging to the world's economies but it's pointless as I know to you they are heroes.
By the way I'm not left wing, I have no problem with people being well off, I'm well off, it's these multi-billionaires that are the problem for the world.
Greed, pure unadulterated greed for power.
The point is, you find reasons to support and excuse mega billionaires who practically run civilisation, I don't, I find them to be unethical in their power and practises.By nature all human beings want to have more, that is how we survive.

You mention Steve Jobs and Chinese workers but it is us as individuals that demand cheap products. Over here Primark has risen from nothing to super trendy even though it has been shown far eastern sweat shops make the clothes. Boo Hoo have been shown to be party to virtual slave labour in this country, has any woman stopped buying their clothes ? The answer is in the fact their share price has gone up. If we want change we have to do something about it and change our habits. One thing I have done this year is cancel my Christmas, no one elses, just mine. I just see it as blatant commercialism which puts families into debt, we eat/waste to much, throw tons of plastic away after unwrapping useless presents we dont want or need and then moan when the Amazon founder is declared the richest guy in the world.
Our attitude has to change if we dont like the fact it is us that make people rich.
I don't think @Blue Mist was giving the rich excuses. He was saying that consumers have a responsibility too.The point is, you find reasons to support and excuse mega billionaires who practically run civilisation, I don't, I find them to be unethical in their power and practises.
Im not bothered by your justification of them. I'll never change your mind and you'll never change mine.
I think your start position gives you a philosophical difficulty.Your not going to take big financial risks if all you end up with is $1m
The bar has to be higher imo.
