Poll: Gold-plated super-yacht worth $4.3 billion!

[Hagi]

Thousands of children die every single day and this guy is buying a boat which does absolutely nothing a regular boat does not do except compensate for his likely extremely small genitals?

Whoever the buyer is, I find him/her a disgusting egocentric asshole. Luxury is one thing, spending billions on it is quite something else.

Why should he take responsibility for those children? It's his money, and he can do whatever the fuck he wants to with it.

Sure he can. And it's my opinion and I can do whatever the fuck I want with it, including calling him a disgusting egocentric asshole.

And with that much money he should, imho, take responsibility for those children. Because that's what decent empathic human beings do.

then tell me why do you have a computer, that money you spent on it could have gone to those poor children.

Because luxuries and billions are something different.

See it like this:
You have two scales. One for how decent a human being you are and one for how much money you have. The more money you have, the more you have to give to charities in order to remain high on my decency scale.

So if you have 10.000$ and give 1.000$ of that to charity you're an amazing person.
If you have 1.000.000.000$ and give 1.000.000$ of that to charity you're still quite a jerk.

Yes, and I would cruise along the coast of Somalia with it. Taunting pirates.

Just to be safe, I say put as many turrets and machine guns as possible on the boat for extreme security.

 

[thefrizzlefry]

Yeah, I'll go and buy that right after I get around to resurrecting and enslaving Jesus Christ.

 

[Beat14]

If I ever buy something like that, shoot me.

 

[Hagi]

I suppose that's true. You know another thing that decent, empathetic human beings do? They go out and activly try to help the aforementioned people, not whinge on an internet forum about how someone else isn't.

Weird.... I was under the impression that I had spent a year of my life doing volunteer work in South Africa, not seeing my family and friends, living without any luxuries, getting threatened with knives by the children I was helping and still extending my stay by 3 months so I could help longer as well as being thanked by both organizations I worked for for my far above average contributions. Heh, must have been a dream. Surely, you know better.

Look, I'm not pretending I'm some sort of saint. I'm not, I've done my share of lazy and selfish things. But don't try to pretend you know me and what I do based on a single post.

I just thought of an idea of a show, you take boats like that to places that have pirates and see how long you last. X) Move over Survivor, our show is more hardcore than yours!

 

[Qitz]

You mean you want me to share the same seas that you paupers use? BAH I say! I'll be cruising around my gigantic flying castle laughing and shelling any poor individual who dares cross my path.

Use a boat. Surely you jest.

Isn't...that....what....you're doing?

OT: I think the guys has JUST AS MUCH right to spend however much of his money he wants to spend on a giant golden, floating, penis; AS WE DO to call him a poncy douchebag for it.

If you spend that much money on something that useless, you GIVE people the right to call you a dickhead. It's practically in the EULA. But that doesn't mean he IS a douchbag. Just that people aren't really at fault for thinking so.

Are you doing that right now? No. What you are doing, however, is whinging on an internet forum about how someone isn't helping the poor starving children.

I think you missed the human part of the "decent, empathetic human beings"....

Weird. Is that not what you said above?

Whoever the buyer is, I find him/her a disgusting egocentric asshole. Luxury is one thing, spending billions on it is quite something else.

You were passing judgment on a person you've never met based on one purchase he made. Don't pretend to know the buyer and what he does based on a single purchase

Thousands of children die every single day and this guy is buying a boat which does absolutely nothing a regular boat does not do except compensate for his likely extremely small genitals?

Why should he take responsibility for those children? It's his money, and he can do whatever the fuck he wants to with it.

Sure he can. And it's my opinion and I can do whatever the fuck I want with it, including calling him a disgusting egocentric asshole.

And with that much money he should, imho, take responsibility for those children. Because that's what decent empathic human beings do.

well I dont want the boat but to hell with the shithead children less people is a good thing to me.

OT: No that boat is way to much money to waste on when I could buy other things and do much greater with the money like start my own game company or game store. and make super awsome high quality replica's of all the awsome game weapons and items from games and anime

An Internet post is not a billion dollar purchase. I'm sorry you don't see the difference between the two, but I do.

I will not judge someone on a single Internet post. I will judge someone on a billion dollar purchase.

Hope that clears things up.

 

[Scarim Coral]

Who does this "rich businessman" think he/ she is? Goldmember (Austin Powers)?
OT- No I would not spend on this super boat. Sure the shape and the interiors look nice (when you remove the golds and platinums) but it is way too much of a bait for mafias, pirates or criminals etc to rob or steal it!

<---- Your head

What I was saying is that you do not know how much money he has given to charity in the past. And thus, you are commiting the same action you are decrying others for.

then tell me why do you have a computer, that money you spent on it could have gone to those poor children.

Because the step up from having no computer to having one is very important, gives you access to something necessary to complete your education, and allows you an almost necessary portal into the world, a media center and a mathematical tool all in one.

This businessman clearly has everything he needs, he is simply spending to impress now, he could easily get the same level of comfort and practicality for a fraction the price. He is being wasteful. In getting a computer and anything you can derive genuine use and benefit from, you are not being wasteful, it is not about money spent here, but rather money wasted.

It is his money, so the choice ultimately remains his, it is just a wasteful choice. One that could have been made better if he put some of that into charity and got an equally luxurious, but far less unnecessarily expensive yacht.

He is free to do something slightly selfish as he will not find use for that money. Once you reach a certain balance and have a lot, what you actually make of your money tends to become less and less. This man is clearly set for life if he chooses to retire now, so why does he not do a little charity and not custom order the world's most expensive yacht?

 

[Richardplex]

This reminds me of this story I read in "The Duh Awards", I shall quote, since I happen to have it with me:
Millionaire 'Diamond' Jim Brandy mastered the art of big spending, but didn't know much about bicycles. In the 1920s he gave singer Lillian Russell a bike dipped in gold and smothered with hundreds of emeralds, sapphires, rubies, and, of course, diamonds.
Brady suggested that the singer take the bike out for a spin through Manhattan. police squads had to rescue her from a crowd that tried to rip the bike to pieces.

I'm calling a similar thing will happen here when it docks.

Also, it's his money, he can dick about with his money all he wants. If he doesn't want to give a fuck about poor children then it's not your place to tell him that it's his place to give a fuck. I'd spend the money on something more... useful, though no more charitable. If you want to rage at someone, rage at Stuart Hughes, the guy who designed and built the boat along with other absurdly expensive and unnecessary stuff

 

[Wuvlycuddles]

Finally! A vehicle to go with my suit made of £50 notes!

Seriously though, couldn't the money used to make/buy this go towards something useful like, oh I dunno FEEDING THE FUCKING STARVING PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD YOU GODDAMNED HEARTLESS CUNTS!

**cough**


Seriously though, if there is a hell Mr "anonymous businessman" it is too good for you, we need to invent a whole other permanently torturous dimension of eternal suffering for your total dickishness, I don't know what to call it or what will be there, but you can be sure infinite repeats of jersey shore will be a prominent feature, but then you might be the kind of soulless bastard who would enjoy that show.....


Can you tell I don't like this guy?

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

Nope. I wouldn't ever buy that yacht. It's purely for obvious decadence and showing off. If I was that rich I'd either be using my fortunes to make more money, or living comfortably in a less flashy, but ultimately comfortable existence.
