Controversial

Another case where liberals can't stand each other. Truly the most miserable people on the planet, ruining it for everyone else.

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.
 

Not my joke, but the guy named his company MICRO and SOFT. It was never going to last.

You guys shove your politics down everything: sports, workplace, education, advertisement. And it's not like they are good ideas or anything. No, they are retarded and they only reason they go through is that you terrorize people so that noone speaks against it. So yeah, you have politicized everything? Good, everything bad is your fault. You will be blamed, mocked and ridiculed for everything.

She got the Apple microchip instead

I’m a fun guy. Obviously I love the game of basketball. I mean there’s more questions you have to ask me in order for me to tell you about myself. I'm not just gonna give you a whole spill... I mean, I don't even know where you're sitting at
 

Pls no.

My wife would have a meltdown.

Think they would get divorced if he got to keep all the money he made from Microsoft?

Also, if Bill was slanging it around, I'm not condoning it, but he's arguably a top ten famous person in the world. There's chicks out there who would get with him just to say they did, in every town, in every city, in every state, in every country. Again, not condoning it, but if I was lady and married a super rich famous guy (i wouldn't tell him), but in my head I'd think, the first 1,000 times he gets with someone else is a hall pass. 

 

I disagree - being rich or famous should not excuse someone from engaging in immoral behavior.

I agreed, I'm not excusing anyone (hence why I said I don't condone it twice). 

Its just a matter of what should happen, and what will happen. It like if you took a see through box filled with $1M and left it in Time Square. Should it be there when you get back, yes, will it be back there when you get back, probably not. 

 

Flurite

This post isn't coherent. Are you saying Bill Gates could get it? If so, I think that's pretty obvious. 

I'm saying, yes, any famous person can easily get it. 

If you're famous as a man, (but I guess as a woman too), there are definitely woman out there who want to get with (a) because they want to tell everyone (b) because they think if they have a kid with you its basically a free meal ticket. I'm not saying all woman, but there are people like that out there. Enough where Bill/every NBA/NFL/actor heck even PGA tour golfer can have their fill, in every town they step into. So I am saying, if I married Bill Gates/Lebron/Brady/Rickie Fowler, I'm not saying I would expect them to cheat, but would you really feel shocked if they did.   

Is that why Bill Gates got divorced, I don't know. And again, I'm not condoning cheating on your wife I think thats wrong. But without any personal knowledge of these people, if someone asked me if Bill Gates or Obama or Lebron cheats on their wife, I said, probably, not shocked if they do. 

 

I assume Bill's vacations to Epstein's island and other shady shenanigans were the cause.

 

This is probably the most underrated comment on WSO. Yeung monkeys take notes.

Marriage continues to be a scam, nothing new

So basically you’re not religious?

Think no one really trusts his mr rogers sweater holier than tho attitude and we want to see some real dirt like bezos sending his dicpic.  It doesn't really make sense that they would actively divorce and take all the publicity than to just live separated unless he was naughty.

 

Honestly, I blame them for the whole market decline during the first half of the week. Totally on BM Gates.  pooped on the market and completely worth the time to discuss this topic as it applies directly to Wall Street and ways to profit off of their unfortunate split...

 

Notice how these people never say about Trump even tho he legit has multiple pics with Epstein from back in the day.

 

Honestly, if Bill and Melinda are going for divorce despite all the harmony they had, what does this mean for the rest of us? 

 

They probably didn't have much harmony, sure they put on a happy front for the public but it wasn't like that in private. That level of fame and all the commitments they had eventually took its toll on the relationship. 

 

Idk I'm sort of seeing a pattern. Trump divorced first wife because she was more of a "work partner" than a wife, and he didn't like that. Melinda considered herself an equal partner to Bill. Is it that perhaps these billionaire men just don't want a wife that is more of a work partner?

I think that’s most normal dudes tbh. I don’t wanna be talking work with my girl, that’s dumb af 

 

Yes this is smart.  When they married, he was already super wealthy and successful.  He was like 40 already and Microsoft had been around for 15+ years and she was just out of MBA I believe working for him.  This illusion of parity and equality was a consensual hallucination that finally fell flat as soon as the youngest graduated high school.  Maybe the parity thing works if you start the relationship young and poor and one becomes successful due to the other's support - but this was mostly a fraud set to fail.  I'm sure she was an expert nagger.

 

Actually the real pattern is affair.

Trumps first divorce was due to an affair.

Bezos divorce was due to an affair.

Gates had at least one side chick (unclear if that was what caused the divorce see above)

Buffet had a well documented side chick (but didn’t lead to divorce)

Musk divorced due to an affair.

Your friend's husband had an affair (although you said they're still together)

And another "unexpected" example - Carl Lentz being fired for having an affair (pastor of Hillsong NYC)

I could go on ...

An affair is a personal choice. Doesn’t matter if the girl is stay at home or working this is fully on the guy. Pre marriage these guys would have slept or had physical relations with so many women that even after marriage they want to continue with the life of variety (and easily can given their income).

I'm heartbroken that she will get half of his money and millions of people will unironically state that "she deserves it" and "he wouldn't have gotten where he is w/out her."
