Fuck Live8
 

Fuck Live8. Fuck Bob Geldof and fuck all them celebs that want to make us believe that we have to start caring for Africa NOW, so that we can end poverty.
Why?
You know what would happen when all of the "stars" performing at Live8 today would give away 10% of their yearly income to Africa? Poverty would end instantly.
Fuck these goodwill-crusaders. They're foney.

My country raised ?200,000,000 (that's in Euros!) for Tsunami aid. So far (6 months after the disaster which pictures brought me to tears on more than 1 occasion!) not more than ? 27,000,000 was spent on aid.
I'm never giving to charity again. My help to the third world will be by voting against politicians who keep giving money to domestical farmers instead of making it more interesting to buy third world products. Did you know the third world imports goods they can produce themselves? It's cheaper that way. And every day thousands die of poverty. It's a shame.

Fuck Bob Geldof!

I apologize for my bad english, it's not my native tongue...

You sir are an .........

IDIOT!!!

Good Buy

Are you going to back that up with a reason?

why? maybe you didn't get my point?

idiot... 10% of the Live 8 performers income!??? haha.. Billions and billions dollars are needed.. its about political pressure... charity aint working.. there's still over 10 miilions of kids dying worldwide each year because of poverty.. mainly in Africa.. drastic changes are needed...

:321GFY

Will Smith makes 20 million dollars per picture. Why doesn't he keep $100k for himself and use 19.9 million to buy food and medicine for children in Africa? Because he is a bullshitter that wouldn't give up his luxurious life to truly do anything about the situation, that's why.

I was talking about their years income. Got any idea how much SIR Paul Mc Cartney makes a year? That's what I'm talking about. And what about those Hollywood fucks with their $20+ million dollar houses?
Give it back to the world and stop fucking worrying about that Gucci shit that's so important obviously...

I remember attending the first Live Aid back in the 80's in Phillie. The world was such a different place back then.

This concert is a joke.

I like the music.

Well I guess live8 worked. The point off it was to raise awareness and as you're making this post you must be aware of the situation, and are also making more people aware or it.... so good work fella, keep spreading the word.

:1orglaugh yeah.. and that would last what? Half a day??! Wake up.. charity money wont do much.. the solution is in political pressure.. Not only do they need billions of $ but they need economic development, investments, etc.. not just ban-aid solutions..

Yeah fuck Bob Geldolf for his last 20 years.
You should slice your tongue up and saute it with onions. :thumbsup

true...propz to the hard working musicians all over the world by the way...
I made me aware that I definitely DON'T believe in Live8 2005
I was standing in line at 10PM 20 years ago to donate. This is pure entertainment for and by the rich...it won't solve anything...

So because you feel 20 million wouldn't do enough you give Big Willie a pass to keep buying gold toilet seats while preaching about the "political pressure" (your tax dollars) that's needed?

How many kids could be fed for a year for 20 million dollars? How many kids could Mr. Smith personally save from starvation by donating his salary from one movie a year?

Why is Live8 not putting any political pressure on African leaders to improve Africa?

You want awareness? Hey Will Smith, Hey Bob Geldolf(or whatever the fuck your name is), Hey Madonna, Hey Bjork, Hey Bono, Hey Bill Gates, Hey Kofi Annan put your fucking gold ducketts together and buy this kid a cheeseburger. Idiots. I give what I can to charity and I am a poor motherfucker.

When they stop sending me e-mails everyday telling me they want to send me money, I will support them.

suck on this please!

The theme for these concerts was "We don't want your money".

They even went after scalpers who tried to sell the tickets.

I know for a fact Bono gives millions to charity every year - can't speak for the rest.

Sir Paul has contributed more money to the causes he believes in than you will likely earn in your lifetime.

you are too fucking funny... only a fool would discredit and reject such an helpful event because he feels that some people particpating in it are hypocritical... Brilliant :thumbsup And btw.. the solution here is not for everybody to become mother theresa's... and give out all their money... Its about all of us giving a little bit (certain % also known as Taxes) of our salary to help out the poors.. How is it wrong to fight for that even if you are making 20 millions/year..?!

That doesn't matter to clowns on a messageboard who like posting pictures of the ass they speak out of. :winkwink:

Says the pot to the kettle.

Yeah.. so only certain people should pay?

Or clowns like you who would rather bitch about Bush on a messageboard than whip out your credit card and donate to the worlds needy, fucking treehumping piece of trash.

I donated $5280 dollars last year to various charities, mostly medical based charities, and like a good fucking christian that I am that was approx. 10% of my earnings.

Helpful event? All I see is a bunch of self-righteous entertainers hearding their sheep. Can you say "Baaaaaa!"?

you should give your head a good wack... :2 cents:

This kettle gives what money he can. Other than that he spends time offering information to those who want to investigate the words.

Bill Gates = Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is the world's largest charitable foundation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_an...tes_Foundation

err.. I'll ask again.. so only certain people should pay?

I guess I'm just as cynical as you are naive. :Oh crap

yea, I'm sure most of the people who have the balls to go and do a charity event like this also are going to give a lot to charities all year. What do you want, them to get on stage and say "I want everyone to know I donated exactly $1,573,947.69 so far this year"
That would seem even more self-important. :2 cents:

hoy hoy .....

Excuse me, but informing the people I associate with about the covert activities of their government that they might not be aware of is not "whining", it is my civic duty. :winkwink:

im naive.. yeah... the G8 is in couple of days.. the pressure will be on.. The Live8 certainly contributed... Saying otherwise is not being cynical.. it is being in denial... :2 cents:

Pressure? Dude even if the G8 concedes billions of dollars in debt relief it will NOT HELP THE AFRICANS THAT NEED HELP. It will only reinforce the current power nodes in African leadership and elites. Christ how naive(or dare I say YOUNG are some of you?)

Just stop whining and donate more to individual organizations that actually GET results in Africa. http://www.thehungersite.com/

Thinking a big rock show is putting pressure on political leaders is laughable.

"Whoa! Pink Floyd reunited! We better DO SOMETHING!!"

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

That was the whole purpose of today's concerts. Read before you spout.

Sorry, but all I have seen is geo-political experts (aka rockstars) blaming Bush and Blair and how it would only take eight signatures (none of them African) to wipe out poverty.

You know nothing of where my charitable monies go to, but thanks for playing :thumbsup

ok yeah.. you have it all figured out.. the G8 goverments are a bunch of idiots that make the same mistakes over and over again... Maybe you should be their special adviser..? Its NOT only about erasing the debt but also imposing their conditions... Dont worry too much dude.. people a bit more qualified than you will take care of that... :2 cents:

The problem in Africa will be solved when HIV wipes the continent clean of the native population. Donating money won't stop it.

foliticians....

I was shocked by that starving kid picture...I wonder how many bottles of champagne are being consumed at the VIP-afterparties at this moment...

8 of the world's biggest leaders putting pressure on a country who's government has raped it's people for decades will likely do litttle to help; I agree with you on that point, but where did you ever read thaat I blame Bush and Blair for it?

Idiot of the year :thumbsup

What are you talking about? AIDS only wipes out the homos and other people who deserve it :winkwink:

I didn't say you personally blamed Bush and Blair, I was stating what I had viewed on the television. Lots of rockstars bashing governments, none of them African.
