Death is always tragic.... I don't care if the guy is a billionaire or not, he or she had family.
I would however agree that having such wealth is clearly perverse and clearly done at the expense of others. You don't get that rich by being kind hearted and generous....
In any case, if you become CEO of a business that has sloppy morals and essentially encourage parasitic behavior.... Don't expect to be loved... Or surprised that you may get shot....
It's like being the CEO of Blackwater.... No one that has clean hands takes that position....
No one becomes a CEO by accident, it was a choice and ambition to become that level of scum...
Now imagine if companies could only give a maximum of around 2000$
I wonder how that would change the landscape of American politics
Why is his death tragic? Is Hitler's death tragic? If not where is your line?
I lost my twin brother to cancer almost 15 years ago, it still hurts to speak about it today.
Even after having two children, that pain that I have in my heart will never heal and that glimmer in my parents eyes can never fully be alight as it once was. They love my children and are fully motivated by them but the pain never goes away.
As a Canadian citizen, everything was done so that we didn't have to pay for it, his chemo was covered at 95% and so we were blessed. I wish I could have a target to say my brother died because of this person or something tangible I could strangle or yell at but the reality is, it doesn't make each morning any easier to wake up in a world without my twin brother.
All those jokes we shared for years are now gone and only remembered by those that are close to me but never fully understood. He alone knew me better than anyone else and cancer robbed me of that. Such is the tragedy of death, we may scream victory one day but with time, we lose the enemy that we hated and only have ourselves to speak to as that person we hated is now gone.
That is why death is tragic, it is irreversible
Your twin brother was Hitler?
I don't really have an interest in your personal loss, sorry -- I don't know you other than a few characters on a screen. But you made an assertion that we should care about the death of Hitler and I want to hear it. Is it because Hitler's friends and family will miss him?
I did not make such allusion but thank you for making such a cheap conclusion....
I hope you never lose anyone in your family, I certainly wouldnt trivialize your pain but then again.... Not surprised
