Ya know who really pisses me off?

[Ralph E.]

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...

[RobRR]

I don't think anyone is comparing Africa to the US on a one for one basis. There is no question that Africa has a few lifetimes of problems that pall in comparision to the US. I was just wondering why we haven't taken care of our problems before we go out and try and save the world.

EXACTLY!! I agree with the grumpy old man.

[Bengal]

Exactly. It really pisses me off when people feel the need to express their personal opinions in a public forum.

hehehehehehehehe...

[SeventhSon]

Bono. Seriously, when will he ever shut the fuck up? Who the hell does he think he is, Africas savior? Im SO SICK of hearing about Africa... fuck Africa... and while were at it, fuck helping every other country until we have got shit straight around here... cause god knows we need all the help we can get the way shits going latley. I REALLY REALLY REALLY wish U2 would just drop off the face of the earth already.

Exactly. It really pisses me off when people feel the need to express their personal opinions in a public forum.

[Special-K]

U2 you hear one album = you hear all....
Cause all albums sound the same....= BORRRRIIINNNGGG!!!

[Rich#6]

We don't want to be saved.

Bono isn't from here, so he has no obligation to HERE. He should worry about Ireland. I'm sure there are folks there that need help.

Nah, we're all fine in Ireland, thanks. You hang on to Bono in the US for the time being.

^ wow the pope actually said that? the pope is a bigger waste of leadership than I thought. religion is one thing, but this AIDS is a whole different ball game.

I was reading a story about how a man survied in Somalia and came to the united states and how his village was torched by the opposition rebels and his parents killed before his very eyes. How he survied by eating grass and slept naked in the desert chill. These kinds of things are happening everyday and someone quoted that there are millions of people in the US with poverty. I live in san jose and I dont see impoverished people like I see in the third world countries. All I see is some bum who is living off of the unemployment benefit and holding a sign "need money, please help". Work your ass in a McDonalds. Stop begging when you are fit enough to work!! I never give any money to these bums. I have seen beggers in third world countries who have no limbs because the leprosy has eaten away most of it. they cant work. the government wont give them money because its busy with corrpution. Do you have cases like that in America? Stop comparing America to Africa!

[chrisgUK]

Some of the views expressed here are quite disturbing!
You cant even begin to compare the problems of africa to those of the USA!
Whoever mentioned about why people live in the deserts.. No one lives in the middle of the desert but desertification means that fertile lands are now barren and people starve. Thousands upon thousands do head for the coasts and the cities and thats how these huge shanty towns come about.
Bill Gates is the single biggest charitable donator in history. You cant call him miserly!
Cant say I like bono or geldof.
Unfortunately one of the main problems is that if you just send money corruption means that most of it goes astray. Also some problems cant be solved just by money, money wont receed the deserts for example, or cure aids... yet!
Atleast bono and geldof are more use than idiots like the last pope who wen to africa and said aids is no excuse for using condoms!!! What a fool.

Where's Billy Milano? Aren't you hungry?

Speak English or die!!!!

[Reverend Timmy]

I think at one time,he really tried to practice what he preached.But one he got a taste of the schmoozing and being a glory whore,it changed him into the arrogant bastard he is today.Geldof got results that you could actually see.Put your money where your mouth is,Bono,lets see your results.......................

[toejam]

charity begins at home...

Where's Billy Milano? Aren't you hungry?

[Cleveland Metal]

Some girl I know met him through a business situation after years of adoring him, he could do no wrong in her eyes. He was a complete and utter asshole to her and everyone around him...

He seems like he would be....

[Shawn Lutz]

Ok, to all you Bono haters out there. Ignoring U2's music, please explain what he has done to deserve your wrath.

can't stand his voice as a vocalist thats all.

I think its great to raise money for good causes..any help from any person or group is always appreciated but as far a boner goes ..he attracts too much attention to himself in my opinion.

When I donate to charitable cause I don't beat my chest and say lookee me, I'm such a fine oustanding person for being so giving...hell my own wife doesnt know how much $ or how often I donate and to what charity I donate to
