Well this really makes alot of sense...

I read an article yesterday that said:

"Billionaires Bill Gates and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced on Wednesday that they would pool their resources and dedicate $500 million to stop people around the world from smoking. The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco will kill up to a billion people in the 21st century, 10 times as many as it killed in the 20th."


WTF??? This kind of crap just really pisses me off. Last time I checked smoking was a choice. People know the risks of smoking and choose to do it anyway. So why the hell do these two think that the best thing to do with 500 MILLION DOLLARS is to put money into helping stop people from smoking? How about putting $500M into things that kill millions of people that don't have a choice? How about putting it into our education system or programs to eliminate poverty or incurable disease research???

Isn't smoking kind of like hunting? Hunting is necessary for animal population control. What are we supposed to do with the extra billion people? Haha.

I know Bill Gates gives alot of money to good causes, but this is really freaking stupid.
