So since you say everyone has 10k debt, lets say they actually all have 2k. This mans 200k jewellery would be like someone with 2k walking around with 20p? :S



You said throughout British history. Henry VIII IS part of British History, and he was the first person I thought of. He had soldiers, but he
didn't need them to walk from a car to his OWN building.

Also if the death penalty was brought in, smaller crimes are also likely to have slightly harsher sentences (there would be space in prisons!!)


Yes

Dunno where you live then Mate.

Anyway yes there would be harsher sentences but does that stop people in America? No.

People will keep mugging ect. Especially guys like him if they have no common sense and go around with loads of money and no bodyguard.

It would be nice if he didn't have to but it's the sad truth that he does.

Are you arguing for the sheer hell of it now or just trolling? My point is rich people always have security throughout history. Henry VIII is no exception to this. I'm also assuming Henry VIII didn't have a car :/

No I am not. Last time I checked you were arguing with me though.

My point is, rich people have not always had security to get from a car (or another means of transport :l) to a building throughout history.

Milestone what point are you getting at? Of course he shouldn't need to. I shouldnt have to tell my parents where I go when I go out as it'd be nice if there was nothing to worry about, it'd also be nice not to have a front door as it'd be nice if there wasn't the potential of someone unwanted coming in. It'd also be nice if we were all equal, had everything we wanted and live in a free country. We don't live in some sort of a communist utopia so leave your dreaming till you go to bed.

What other billionaires can you name off by heart?

There really isn't that many other well known billionaires, Bill Gates, Larry Page, Lakshmi Mittal and Roman Abramovich is about it for me. Bernie Ecclestone frequently appears in the media so y'no, he is well known.

I know it's harsh but I don't really like Bernie, but I love F1.

But obviously he is going to be a big target for thieves because of his wealth, it's a shame but there are some real lowlifes around...
