Bono

[GrimJack]

Bono, the lead signer of the band U2 is famous throughout the entertainment industry for being more than just a little self-righteous. He is playing a U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland when he asks the audience for total quiet.

Then in the silence, he starts to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds.

Holding the audience in total silence, he says into the microphone, Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."

A voice from near the front of the crowd pierces the silence...

"Well, fucking stop it then!"

 

[exander]

LOL, Did security carry the dumbass out then?

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

LOL

I didn't see that coming.

 

[Big Wang Bandit]

LOL.

Seriously with one of that popmus ass'es paychecks he could end hunger in africa.

 

[SupraMario]

hahahaha thats funny as hell

 

[YourHondaSux]

Every time I clap my hands, a child in Africa dies."

Well keep clapping and put them out of their misery.


I fucking hate those self righteous, rich ass, hypocrite, self-proclaimed politician, celebrity fuckers that think just because they have tons of money, that qualifies them to represent all that is just and good in the world. Fuck them!

 

[souprat]

[PimpiNJ253]

"and everytime a child in africa dies, u clap ur damn hands knowing one just died!!"

 

[suprahero]

Well keep clapping and put them out of their misery.

Never, ever, under any circumstances is it o.k. for a child to die. You undoubtedly don't have kids or you wouldn't have said that...............:3d_frown:

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

Well keep clapping and put them out of their misery.

How dare you say something like that about the situation in africa :3d_frown:
edit.

I've got 3 actually. Two of them over 21...

And I'll say it.

Last I checked this planet did not have a negative population growth problem, did it?

How dare you say something like that about the situation in africa

It's pretty easy actually. I'll dare it anytime. Poverty is a mental disease.

Are children really that precious to you? Or have you just been conditioned by society to say that? That's an honest question, not a poke or a jab.

Think about it before you answer it.

Um did i say those children were preciosu to me? no. Wtat IS precious to me is human life. Care to argue whether or not your life is more important then these dying kids in africa? Honest question as well.
Also their poverty isnt a mental disease. it began with the expliotation of Africa back when Britain made colonies there and how america exploits it today. simpyl put The wealth of the western nation-states was built on Africa's exploitation.

 

[Kai]

Eh, thats an old standup joke thats been reworked. Either way, Bono is a self serving tosser that just cant live without the limelight.

 

[trucker]

no i agree with sc on this...poor/poverty is in ones mind, a defeatist attitude


i have been broke many times, but i've never been poor


there goes the last of my rep...

 

[Mr.PFloyd]

i understand what you have done, and no man, i respect that. Its just the situation of africa right now is unstable. You are entitled to your own opinion and this is a place for discussion as long as personal threats aren't made.

 

[Bondango]

Bono is how we say in ireland....A FECKING PRICK

 

[Kai]

Bondango - didnt know you were on these boards too

Still, nice to see you hold him in such regard as myself

 

[Nick M]

Notice all these narcissistic liberals don't give their own money. But they will gladly give you the shirt off of sombody else's back. Well, William Buffett did, but he gave it to another liberal.

LOL, another bullshit statement from Cry&Slash against the US. I would have never thought it would be. Let me guess, you don't want to start a flame war so you're going to leave this thread for good, right?

Honest answer? To me? Hell my life is more important than just about anything I can think of other than maybe DreamerTheresa's life. Would I put my life in danger for one of those kids? Hell no.

If these people are living at a poverty level where starvation is a stark reality, why the fuck are they having children? To watch them die?

Oh, wait, that's right, the same people who bring them "feed the children" also bring them "every sperm is sacred"...

Also their poverty isnt a mental disease. it began with the expliotation of Africa back when Britain made colonies there and how america exploits it today. simpyl put The wealth of the western nation-states was built on Africa's exploitation.

Oh cry me a fucking river... Get the fuck over it. My ancestors were slaves too. And exploited too. And persecuted too. And I'll bet one or two of yours were too. I'm tired of hearing this shit. Just about every group on the planet has been exploited, screwed over or otherwise messed with by some other group.

An honest man is one who knows that he can’t consume more than he can produce.

These people are poor because thier way of life is FAILING THEM. It's simple social darwinisim. Evolve or get out of the gene pool. It applies at the behavioral level as well.

By 2015, despite a low expected 1% growth rate, experts estimate there will be 7 billion people on the planet. (We're actually up to 6.5 billion today, we'll probably exceed 7 billion) By 2050, there may be as many as 10 billion people living on this planet. Can the planet support this population? When will we reach the limit of our resources?
