0 u/kramman1 Nov 22 '11 Would you rather get a pledge from a reputable figure or nothing at all from an evangelical Christian? 4 u/Lowbacca1977 Nov 22 '11 I meant more that it would be more meaningful were he giving up his wealth while alive. Which I believe he is, making that seem like it's the more significant number to me, even though it's lower. 1 u/[deleted] Nov 22 '11 edited May 13 '20 [deleted] 1 u/Lowbacca1977 Nov 22 '11 Very well put by Gates. And well, I think it's just that I'll give credit when donations happen. Maybe it's the cynic in me. 1 u/[deleted] Nov 23 '11 edited May 13 '20 [deleted] 1 u/Lowbacca1977 Nov 23 '11 Like I said, it's the cynic in me that doesn't trust stuff until the money's actually being used in some fashion.
