JoshK Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 The point was that it is at least something and maybe it got a few people thinking and more aware... After all, are we talking about it? Yup. I would say if it changed a couple of minds in the current and upcoming generation of young people it was worth it. But, hey, that is just my opinion. Quote
tomtom Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Bono from U2 has to be one of the best people in this world when it comes to getting a message out and doing what he can. Bono is a media whore, getting rich by selling lame pop albums. Quote
JoshK Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 You even bothered to look into what he does with his time and money outside of music? If you don't like U2, fine, but I think insulting him as a person is pretty low. By the way, what was the last charitable work you did again? Quote

Even my parents used the "starving children in Africa" line. People know that Africa is a poor continent. Really poor. Not send them some money and fix it poor. Not temporary measures poor. But really poor. And what have we taught this young generation? That they can go to a concert, buy a CD, cast a vote and their civic duty is done. Or do they learn to say that just because they are talking about it, that's something? Quote

Hypocrisy is what we are talking about and should like discussion around the world spur introspection in this subject, the Live8 performers will have done their good deed indeed. Everybody gots an opinion, mine is often more convoluted than my asshole. Quote
