"Bill Gates Says Life Would Be Much Easier With A World Government" is a profound truth that needs a little explanation. Most of the comments here are making it personal against this poor man. Personal attacks are kind of a negative democrat technique to put the man down, calling him names, etc. Instead of attacks you should be helping him get his point across, help him define it. In all reality that statement is right on the mark, life would be much easier with one leader, the same as it is in many countries that practice what he is preaching.

I can prove my theory. Take a look at North Korea, a world of it's own, there is very little dissention amongst the people and the government. If there is dissent one day, it is usually totally gone by the next day, and the government is always right. There is little argument about any topic, the people mostly all think alike and just get along with each other. They have fewer auto accidents, much less crime, everyone has the same healthcare, and everyone has just about the same stuff as their neighbors, practically nothing. If you have nothing there is nothing to steal or fight for. Everyone works and exists under this peaceful regime. It’s leader is supreme, and he simply makes all the rules for everyone.

I say, if Bill gates really knows what he is talking about he should pack up and move to North Korea and experience his Shangri-La. I’m sure his father would like to go with him. His father has been pushing Washington State to get a State Income Tax. Bill, please stay out of politics, you and your father think too much like our president.

Good thing his opinion matters about as much as mine does.

there is a place for a proper government. If I had to spend all my time protecting my property rights, I wouldn't be able to produce anything

Bill Gates, who was clever enough to sell a dysfunctional product to the world (which was not even his own creation) and thereby become the world’s richest man. The biggest fraud ever — how much of Your lifetime has he wasted?

So now he wants to run your world, also?

Mankind’s entire problem is choosing to forfeit it’s intelligence and it’s Right to Life to a few other humans.

We call it GOVERNment, always with the powers of Force which are forbidden to it’s Subjects.

Such fools these mortals be!

I would really like to see someone come along wth an operating system so good it puts gates out of business.

I think ISIS agrees with Gates.

Actually, Bill Gates, "improved" IBM DOS, then negotiated an exclusive agreement with IBM to place MSDOS on all personal computer systems. IBM was ignorant, and not really interested at the time in anything other than the BIG deals, so they went along with it. For a short time, this benefited IBM since they did not have to expend resources to maintain the tiny PC business. Little did they realize that Bill Gates for all his flaws later in life, DID foresee the PC Boom, and he was perfectly positioned to capture it with Software, he did not care at all about selling hardware.

Gates did not "steal" anything, until he stole code from OpenVMS from Digital Equipment Corp., to make Windows clustering and multiprocessing work. Bill also "copied" the idea from Apple on the GUI interface when he put out the Windows OS...which did not become stable until Windows 3.11

The credo of the ruling class was written thusly

“The society we have described can never grow into a reality or see the light of day, and there will be no end to the troubles of states, or indeed, my dear Glaucon, of humanity itself, till philosophers become rulers in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands.”
― Plato, Plato's Republic

Bill knows deep in his heart that he is a philosopher-king and his destiny is to create a perfect society on Earth.

Hollywood syndrome! Get a role in a show or movie and the actors/actresses feel as though they have been elected to be a spokesperson on any and all worldly issues. Sadly we have many sheeple who listen to them.

He's right, HOWEVER, for it to work we'd all have to be of the same philosophical belief - and that won't ever happen. There will always be someone that thinks their way is better.
The problem is how can live together, separately, and still have a republic that represents only our common interest/needs.
Not sure if I stated that properly.

Totally agree. He is a "Johnny one note". He may know a lot about his original computer system, but his knowledge about anything else probably ends not far off the track of that singular accomplishment. His money allows him to pontificate on just about everything else he sticks his nose into, ignorantly.

He founded his company on lies and essentially false representatiin and stealing. Not surprised he is a top->downer.

Too much of anything is not good for the mind or soul! Bill Gates went from almost nothing to one of the richest men in this world. I'd say that qualifies him for being drunk or stoned on green cash and he is unable to see the forest through the trees.

Jeez, what a pompous, ego driven ass.

Well they live with the likes of HIM ....so yeah, they probably are. blecht and yuk gross gross. They'll be socialists for sure will no help from the outside world.

You can bet that his kids aren't being subjected to it!

And he stole that to begin with... he's after power.

And he is funding and promoting Common Core... wake it on up, people!!!

Bill Gates is a complete jerk, the kind who makes a fortune from free enterprise and then does his best to destroy it.
