I know, it's crazy. The Gates's ability to avoid corruption, with that much power, is a skill I am envious of.
It's like putting a man on the moon. Our kids are going to think it's all fake.

My TAX money is going towards this. One part of me asks why I have to support this. But the even louder part says, could I really ask as a guy not to fuck because he lives in a poor place with no chance of getting out. Fucking is the only free fun he has. If I have to pay the price of a beer once a year so some people can fuck and not die then I'm really ok with that.
Here have two beers and fuck her one from me.

Charity is a bandaid over the wounds of capitalism.
The second top-quality quote to originate from an anonymous Slashdotter. Well done AC, you might have gone down in history if you'd posted with an account.

If you're gettng none , you're not doing it right.
Go to bar, chat up each and every girl that strikes your libido. Ask each and every one a few minutes in, if they'd like to have a drink and a movie back at your place. Don't worry about hearing "NO", you're going to, a lot. But that evening, there will be one who thinks it's a good idea and she knows she's gonna get cocked, she just doesn't want to come right out and ask you, women leave it to you. Your job now, is to apply more alcohol till she will do things she wouldn't normally do. Not too much, or they don't participate well.
Don't approach this as though you were looking for a life partner, it's a bar, they are just looking for cock, not to marry a drunk. Quit worrying about being very romantic about it. They are there for sex, not love, just like you.
Can you believe it? They wouldn't let me put this on Wikihow!
