If you're worth $8 billion or w/e and you don't donate to charity, you're a dick. Not saying you should die in agony; I wouldn't even wish that on Hitler, but I certainly have little respect for the man.
Why's that? I mean, I get why rich people should donate more then other people, but that's a matter of percentages. How high a percentage of your assets did you give to charity last year? That's what you can claim a moral highground on.
I donated 10% of my income to charity last year, though as a student, that amounted to only $220, if you're curious.

And it's not just a matter of percentages. It is a tremendous sacrifice for a poor person (not saying I'm a poor person, btw, but there are lower-income people who nonetheless donate) to donate 5% of his income to charity; for a rich person, not so much.
Exactly, Herman Cain wants a 9-9-9 tax which has shown it would hurt the lower class and the top 20% actually benefits from it. That shows that even when people pay the same proportion of tax, it is still "not proportional" in some ways.

If you are earning a billion dollars a year, you should donate a higher % of your income to charity than a person earning less than $100,000 a year.

OT: Seriously, I have no idea why Jobs said that phrase.

As an activist, it pisses me off that everyone cries about Steve Jobs but calls Bill Gates a bad guy. Steve Jobs was brilliant at giving the public what they thought they wanted (over priced shiney toys) but other then that I could care less about him. By all accounts he was a horrible boss, an asshole and selfish with his money.

Now..if you excuse me, I need to go run and listen while I listen to my Ipod.

I use a Sansa, personally. More features for less money.

But if I used a Sansa, they hypocrisy would not be so deliciously ironic!

I'm sorry, but what the fuck is wrong with you? Did he ever personally hurt you? Did he ever cause someone's death or something?

Holy fuck, show some respect for the dead.
He was terrible to work with, most of the ideas actually came from Apple, and he never donated to charity (only recently learned this). The creator of Lisp, and the creator C have both passed away in the last month, and they accomplished far more than Steve Jobs. Wozniak was the main brain behind Apple, and he got screwed over by Jobs.

I don't think there's any need to show respect to the dead when they behave like he did.

He didn't just not donate to a charity but he took credit for other people working for apple's work.

Although wishing someone had a painful death, then insulting them is still a dick move.

He found out heaven was actually Equestria. Honestly, if I found out I could spend the rest of eternity there, you bet I'd be yelling "oh wow, earth sucks compared to this".

+1 for the Citizen Kane reference.

He probably thought of an idea for the iPhone 5 but didn't have enough time to write down his idea.
Remove a feature and make it slimmer?

I posted this and then realised it might be considered low content and now I can't think of anything extra to add.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems a little soon to be making jokes about the last words of a recently deceased man. I mean, Steve Jobs only just passed away.

The guy was rich, he could obviously spare the money. I found this image on 4chan, the sad thing is it's the truth.
Yeah, this.

Just goes to show, doesn't matter what you do. If you give people shiny things, they'll love you.

I like to think he saw god. It makes a lotta sense. Well, assuming he's atheist (and apparently he's an asshat so he prolly is)

Some people are assholes.

It is best to ignore these people so that they think they are ghosts.

I call it the "Sixth Sense" response.



I like how this image sounds like you are describing Thomas Jefferson for the Steve Jobs column.

And we all know how much THAT guy sucked.

(I'm a huge fan of Bill Gates, the dude can jump over chairs. He's also eloquent.)

I'm about 99% sure that donated only once line is bullshit. But the person did write "most richest" so you can't give them too much credence.

Wow dude, way to stereotype there. I'm assuming you're a religious type, so you should stop violating that (child/woman/goat/baby female goat/Lower-Caste peasant) and pray to (God/Yahweh/Jehovah/Allah/Buddah(if you're mahayana)//whatever deity you're constructed for yourself) that he'll (forgive/enlighten) you so you won't (go to hell/be re-incarnated as a grape/be trapped in samsara forever) because of your blatant insults toward a group of people that have likely not done anything to harm you in your entire life.

Not very nice when other people do it, is it?

.....

God fearing folk require a book of fairy tales to teach them a decent moral code.
Atheists use that thing called a conscience.

God fearing folk require the fear of burning in hell to be decent to other humans. (Which you fail at btw)
Atheists say "Why not just be decent to others, even if this there is no god"

God fearing folk seem to all believe that THEIR deity is the CORRECT deity.
Atheists ask "How's your deity different from the other 2870*? and why do you judge THEM?"
God fearing folk reply "Because ours is the true one"

*There are roughly 2870 confirmed deities in folk lore and other tales and I can say for certain that you're in for a major disappointment when you die buddy... And I'm glad that you'll be disappointed as you sir, are a complete c**t


On the Jobs note...

I honestly think he said that so people would forever wonder what the hell he saw/thought/felt etc
Either that or he had a Zune playing in his ear and someone snuck Glee soundtrack onto it...

"Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow" *Passes away* "Yes! Don't need to listen to that anymore!" *Rests in peace*
