Yeah, but gotta get me the last word. Just kidding, I agree, we're just going in circles now anyway, we'll leave it hear.Critical_Sneeze said:
Comedian Asks for $1 Million on YouTube, Millionaire Obliges
- Thread starter Tom Goldman
- Start date
When was the last time you went to an amusement park or fair, went out to a movie, or even got your hair cut? I say if you have spent money on any of those things instead of donating it all to charity you are simply an awful human being.uro vii said:
I would guess that most of the things you pay for in this world, services in particular, are completely unnecessary. Thus, you should bleed yourself dry for the less fortunate any time you have spare money lying around.
What if this millionaire gave a million to Africa and a million to the comedian, would you expect him to give both millions to Africa instead? What if he has more spare millions lying around, should he give it all away to the less fortunate instead of enjoying his money and spending the way he wants?
This millionaire probably enjoys this persons videos and decided to do something that was unexpected, generous, and in my opinion, kind of funny. He gets to be on stage, meet the comedian, and take part in something both strange and unique. You have no right to judge this person on his decisions of how to spend his money, especially when you know absolutely nothing about the person you are insulting.
This whole thing is really a rather tricky matter. What you think of all of it really depends on your sense of morality.
There is absolutely no reason for anyone to harbor ill feelings towards this comedian, jealousy excluded. I've never heard of him and I am not aware of his situation financially or otherwise so I refuse to pass judgment on him. Personally though I'm happy for him. I'm happy for anyone who is able to make $1,000,000 that is at least a somewhat descent person.
When it comes to this millionaire I'm just a cynic.. there is ALWAYS a motive behind the actions of any human being. If this is somehow a serious matter though and is legit than I have to say I'm rather disgusted.
I've seen a few people in this thread speak of him rewarding the comedian for his hard work.. and to that I say, what work? Creating videos on Youtube in my opinion is something someone does who finds enjoyment in it. It's not a job. He doesn't have to continue to do it if he doesn't want to.
Maybe disgust is to harsh a word for how I actually feel on the matter. How I view this situation is as follows.. there is a man, with a lot of money, and he's bored. One day he sees a video on Youtube and has a little laugh and than proceeds to "reward" this young man he's watching out of his sheer boredom. That's it.
There is so much more good that could be done with that kind of money regardless of if it's used here in America or somewhere else. I just see it as someone throwing an enormous amount of money away just for kicks.. don't know how anyone can see it as anything else either.
And by the way.. I absolutely hate when people take that "take care of our people first before we help outsiders mentality". But that's a whole different matter.. >.<
