Bill Gates Welcomed with Huge Condom | |
|
||
| Time: 08:32 EST/13:32 GMT | News Source: Reuters | Posted By: Todd Richardson | ||
|
An eight-foot tall condom greeted Microsoft chairman Bill Gates Thursday during a visit to an Indian city, a tribute to mark his generosity in fighting AIDS. The world's richest man smiled when he saw the giant air-filled condom in India's rising technology hub of Hyderabad, where his company has opened its first software development center outside the United States. | ||

| I'm glad they picked me as a model for that condom. |

| I wonder if he had ever seen one before.... j/k |

Oh, my. The potential for smart-ass remarks to this one are limitless :)

I guess you really are a dickhead, kirk.
Dee, why must Bill Gates have had sex before marriage. Since he has kids, it is reasonable to assume that he has had sex after marriage, but I see no reason to assume that he had sex before marriage. |

| I hope they didn't take a pic showing Bill and the penis together. They are likely to put that on the front page of CNET. |

Well, it _could_ have been caused by a Buffer Overflow... TL |

Create your own joke...
"I hope they didn't take a pic showing Bill and the penis together. They are likely to put that on the front page of CNET. " Why not? He's photographed next to xxxxxxxxx all the time! TL |

| You're right, TechLarry--he didn't have to have sex with his wife to produce offspring... who knows what he has in that mansion-of-the-future of his? As long as it didn't have a "Designed for Windows XP" or "Microsoft Windows Powered" logo on it.... |

"literally the entire world is doing it."
No, literally many people in the world are doing it. "For normal people who have sex wearing a condom is the best way to prevent something which can Kill you" If you are worried about getting killed doing a thing, perhaps you shouldn't do the thing. Condoms aren't foolproof. Abstaining from sex is foolproof. I'm not saying either way my opinion on the matter, I'm just pointing out that your arguments are faulty. |

WTF does being a priest or castration have to do with anything?
Abstainance and monogamy are two very good options. If I know that drinking bleach will kill me, do you think I'll just drink small amounts of it to mitigate the risk? If I really care about protecting myself, then I'll protect myself. |

Can't we find common ground?
Can't people abstain from sex sometimes and use condoms other times? Why must it be one or the other? |
| #13 By 7754 (216.160.8.41) at 11/14/2002 2:15:44 PM |

Why not just get it laminated?
Some people just aren't going to abstain, although it's true that it's the only foolproof way. As long as they are going to do so, there is a need for condoms. |

True Fred, and condoms won't help in those cases either.
If we want to get really technical about it, though, there are scientists that don't believe HIV is even associated with AIDS. No, I don't have a link for that. I saw it on a documentary a while back. |

"Maybe it was God's plan to get a picture of Bill Gates next to a condom... :)"
LOL! |

It's rediculous to say that a human being can't control himself. You can say it is also human nature to lie and cheat and steal, but that doesn't justify it.
Also, it isn't a prevention device. It is a precautionary measure. Or if it is a prevention device it is a flawed one. |

| burp, it is unconscienable (sp?) to make excuses for two people not controlling themselves. I knew a great deal of people at that age that weren't ruled by their hormones. The reality is, people should be responsible for themselves. |
