4. Glad he pointed out the difference in clinical depression.

That being said, I agree. What an asshole this guy must be.

If there was ever a candidate for Keith Olberman's 'Worst Person In The World' segment, this guy is it. Jerk.

He's lucky he isn't my kid. I would have him living in a 5th floor walk-up and working for minimum wage for at least a year before he ever got another penny from me.

*Edited to add that also includes inheritance.

5. 5th rec FOR REAL this time, Tom! Boo Ya! n/t

6. There is one point that I don't think Cenk covered...

This might make me a thread party pooper, but...

I think a billionaire has more responsibility than to just enjoy his/her billions, like Cenk says.

I think a billionaire is a very fortunate person in many ways, whether they worked hard for the money or not. And I think that there's an implicit obligation to give back to the world.

That's my thing. If I had Bill Gates money, I'd be giving most of it away for good causes, in the interest of bettering the world, you dig?

A billionaire that does nothing but enjoy his/her billions is a worthless individual. IMHO.

Party pooper, that's me.

[pleah]

7. Am I supposed to feel sorry for this dumb fuck?

Hey, billionaire, get off your ass and do something with your life (and your money) and you won't have time to be depressed.

Yet, I had to laugh, because this is just so ridiculous.
