Ya know who really pisses me off?

Aids in Africa is a scam people....

A few things to think about there is no vaccine so how do you prevent AIDS in Africa not by sending money there.

the same way you prevent it over here? by educating people to use condoms?

The RED moto RZR commercial on the Spanish channel makes no mention of the money going to AIDS in Africa and its the same commercial as ours just different language.

and this is significant because?

Last thing AIDS and Black on Black genocide are the biggest killers in Africa...

and your point is?

Dare to think and dont worry about hurting peoples feeling.

Yes, "thinking" would be a good thing...

One last thing Nelson Mandel was a criminal its not PC to say but look up the facts...hes no angel.

A criminal during Apartheid.

That's about as meaningless as saying Germans who hid Jews in WWII were criminals.

Bonor is an asshole musician who wears the stupidest sun glasses I've ever seen.
He hangs with jail-bird Mandella, and the peanut-farmer Carter too much.
Pretty soon he'll be sayin he invented the internet too- wait, somebody already said that one.

Bono is only important if you want him to be.

Oh, you mean the B.S. and MBA that mean nothing in today's world thanks to scumbags like ALL of our government officials who openly ship our jobs overseas?

And scumbags like Bill Gates who want UNLIMITED numbers of immigrants to come and take our technical jobs here in the US because they work cheaper than a white guy with an MBA?

Fuck them. All of them.

Education is a waste of time.

Start a landscaping business, learn a trade and open your own business. Don't waste time and money on college. If I ever can afford kids (and it's looking dim) that's the life lesson they get from me.

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

Your mother kept you in her belly for 9 months. She gave birth to you and if you are a guy, you have no idea what a pain that is! What do you mean no one did anything for you? You dad and mom wiped your ass when you pooped in a diaper. Your dad has paid his hard earned money for your college, you mom toils to keep your stomach full, she washed your clothes until you can do it youself. Have some gratitude man!

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

That would be funny if it wasn't so serious a situation...

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....

Ronald Regan was just an actor at one time. I know musicians who are not qualified to be musicians but they are. I know some musicians who are more than qualified to be more than just musicians as well. Just because they are musicians does not mean they can't share their view. They just have a bigger forum to share their view than most.

I'm just in a rotten mood right now.

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

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.

[Ralph E.]

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."

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]

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

Hmmm?

Thought so...

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

[SeventhSon]

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

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.

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:

Word dat.

(and here's the key part)

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