By the way, you don't think it's simply... obnoxious how you can make money simply because of "cleverly" manipulating prices? "Profit"? That antibiotics aren't produced because the medical companies wouldn't profit from them? That Microsoft would have a monopoly and overprice their products and become super rich without doing that much work?

Besides, Turing for example, made far, far, far more important technological advancements than Bill Gates ever did - yet you don't see him being nearly as rich as Bill Gates.

So you don't think it takes a lot of work to do what Bill Gates did? Honestly, I think you have no idea what you are talking about.

Actually sportsplayer lets take hockey for example very little sees their family and friends because of pratice they don't just lounge around on sunday morning eating "I'm a rich bitch" brand name brand cereal! I know they would have to pay me big$$$ to stay away from family and friends and maybe seem them on the odd holiday they get payed to make somewhat of a sacrafice.Plus wherever you went you would have to be lookin snazy or else people think you not as profesional as you say you are like if you saw gretzky in a sweat shirt and track pants (when he was playing hockey) at the grocey store picking up food would you think him as being a profesional hockey player And why aren't you complaining about game designers they make pretty good money and all they do is make games(I am greatful don't get me wrong).But if you complain about that think about their social life how would their kids make friends? All the kids wouldn't treat them normally and everyone would want a autograph from their parent then sell it on ebay or something they wouldn't treat them like a friend they would just use them. So I find there is nothing to bitch about.

SUCK IT!

Explain to me how, if my messages are cryptic with no sources, how yours aren't either.

A lot of people seem to be saying that sports players and entertainers shouldn't be paid as much money as they are, but by watching sports, movies, or television, society is paying their wages. If no one was entertained by these things, the companies wouldn't make the money and wouldn't be able to pay the athletes/actors.
So if you don't want the athletes/entertainers to get paid as much, don't pay money to see them.

Et tu?

Stop dodging my questions, you have the burden of proof on you when you say that Bill Gates did work, because it's much harder to find proof of a lack of something (e.g. lack of work) rather than proving that he did work. But fine, here;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Gates

Notice how the only thing he did was the BASIC interpreter. Ever since 1975 he was repsonsible for "the company's [Microsoft] product strategy" - aka slacking off and letting all the other people do the work. Heck, even later "Gates's role at Microsoft for most of its history was primarily a management and executive role. However, he was an active software developer in the early years, particularly on the company's programming language products. He has not officially been on a development team since working on the TRS-80 Model 100 line, but wrote code as late as 1989 that shipped in the company's products.".

Sure management and logistics might at some times be a bit hard - but since when should one get millions of dollars every day simply because of organizing stuff? That makes no sense - like I said, Turing consistently made far more important discoveries over the years (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing - just read it damn it), and yet he wasn't nearly as rich as Bill Gates - more work, less income, which was my point in the beginning and why I took the Bill Gates example.

Now I swear, if you counter this instead of presenting your own sources, I'll bang my freaking head against a wall.
tl;dr: deprived is spergin'
Ok that's it. Let settle this. If you would like to vote on this quote this post. Say Footside if you agree with me and Deprived if you agree with Deprived.

I have lost track of what you two's main points are.
But I'm going to assume that Footside thinks that athletes don't deserve all that money, whereas Deprived does.
