<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (chopperman @ Apr 7 2010, 01:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>One man's loss is another man's gain . A few more millionaires/billionaires but tens of millions are a lot worse off. I doubt very much there has been hundred's more billionaires in the past couple of years. Where did you read this ?


yes one man's dead is another man's bread.
I saw and heard about that list a few weaks ago on Dutch tv news.
i'll send a link here.

but i also think that more people have become poor than rich. anyway those people simply has more important things to spend their money on, than to buy a Rossi or whoever shirt for 50$.

I wanted to buy a cap of Rossi last year in Assen, but when the seller said 25$, i said no way, thanks.

i can understand that some people do care for wearing the names of their favorite sportsman/woman, but it wasn't that important for me.


EDIT:

ok, i,v found this article about the list of Billionaires.

http://www.gospelherald.net/article/societ...n-the-world.htm

it says the list has grown from 793 people in 2009 to 1011 people in 2010, and we are just at the begin of April.

May I know how you reached this conclusion?

And Goatboy, may I ask why you lobbed this politically correct truism? It is my impression that India and China are industrializing in exactly the same way as the west did during our industrial revolution... child labour was de rigueur in Briton at that time... why the hypocrisy?

do proceeds really go to charity?

unfortunately for me the price is too high for mediocre quality products.

i also don't think any of it is very well designed or stylish.
