Ya know who really pisses me off?

Fuck Bono and U2.

They are quite possibly the most annoying band in the past 20 years.

Just like actors/actresses droning on about politics...

I'm not interested in your personal fucking view of the world!!!
You're a RICH fuck who doesn't understand the real world to begin with, so STFU...

If tomorrow you hit the mother lode by hard work, lotto, or whatever, you'd be exactly like Bono...a rich dude with a personal view of the world.

But I can't figure out why people get worked up over this. Just change channels when they come on TV.

true, but I wouldn't be shoving my politics in people's faces.

I'd be chillin' on a beach somewhere ignoring all problems with the world cause I ain't gonna change them anyway, no matter how rich I am:

(and here's the key part)

keeping my personal view of the world to myself...

In general I get irritated by musicians that think they have the solutions to the world's problems. I mean, they're freakin' musicians -- how exactly does that make them qualified for the job of world savior? But yeah, I don't get particularly worked up over it. I did write a song about it once though....

Dude, you just described almost everyone in Congress and most certainly that douche we have for a president.

U2 is a great band and Bono is a great singer.

Good for you. Way to make a difference.

Anyone who thinks they can make a difference is only fooling themselves.

Nobody has even done a fucking thing for me, I owe no one anything.

That is without a doubt the silliest statement in this thread.

Why? Do you know my life? What have you done for me HT?

Hmmm?

Thought so...

We agree on something.

This is were you lose me. If he shows up on CNN and you don't change the channel, that's your fault not his.

Word dat.

But let's say you still participate on this board. Then you'd hypothetically be a rich dude expressing your opinions in a public place. And if someone gave you the same beef, you'd probably say, "chill dude, just ignore what i post and move on."

To say that nobody has done anything for you is absurd. You just sound foolish.

Besides, I hooked you up with a pretty cool guitar

Excellent point.

However, I think the size of the audience (and thus the effect) that I have expressing opinions here is alot smaller than the size of the audience someone like Bono (or Tim Robbins etc.) has available to them.

[hippietim]

Ralph, all you are saying is that you don't really feel strongly enough about things to even try to make a difference. That's fine. But there are those that feel otherwise and use whatever forum they can. Bono's forum is the world - yours is the JCF.

I'm just in a rotten mood right now.

Right now i'm where Michael Douglas was in Falling Down...

To anyone in Ralph's area, avoid the Korean markets for a while
