Story: Outrage at Gates' knighthood
First of all you would be using a crappy Apple computer 10 generations behind if it wasnt for Bill,
and the BILLIONS (Yes, that much) that he has
donated to feed, immunize the poor and to
research centres has earned him 10 flimsy knighthoods.
You mean Bob Geldof can get one after raising 100 million for Live Aid? Bill donates that much every few months. Stop using MS products then, I seriously cannot believe the hate Im hearing from a country that still clings on to their secretly hated and outdated monarchy.
