Bono´s live message Poverty history campaing

[qwertypoiu4321]

Read Dambisa Moyo and William Easterly, not this fool.

Bono’s anti-poverty foundation ONE is under pressure to explain its finances after it was revealed that only a small percentage of money it raises reaches the needy.

The non-profit organisation set up by the U2 frontman received almost £9.6million in donations in 2008 but handed out only £118,000 to good causes (1.2 per cent).

The figures published by the New York Post also show that £5.1million went towards paying salaries. google - oneworldscam . infowars.com - Peace

[Matagonzo]

[bonofoundgrace]

This gives me cold chills. It takes courage to confront your audience with such a message during a rock concert. Proud to be a fan.

[y05cahillj]

oh dear u fuckers, hes so potentious, hes a bastard and he doesnt actually giv a shit about poverty , he just thinks he is jesus re-incarnated, u cant end poverty because then the luky fucks who rent in poverty wudnt feel lucky

[dadogong]

@y05cahillj Perhaps you should learn how to write one, just one, sentence properly before you judge other people. You are just a lazy bludger who never contributed to anything and you will alwaye be a big 0

[lunewhite]

THANKS 4 sharing!!!

Bono= GENIU$ within many, many levels...

1st of & what a better USE of being a CELEB???

Dylan, Beatles-alive, Zep alive adore Bono...

IT helps within keeping rock alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kmartin646]

Don't disrespect Bono for excelling and making an income. He gives more money to those in need than 85 percent of the people who comment on here's yearly income.

And it is hardly ironic, it takes a leader, a man or woman with influence to lead a nation, to lead a campaign, to lead a fight.

There is no need for anger or hatred for such a noble act. Please, just help.

[kcud1962]

There is no more discraceful person on the earth besides Oprah and Geldof, just think of the logic of these mega millionaires railing against poverty, they have profited while extreme poverty has increased over the past 20 years, the only person to benefit from live aid was Geldof, how many one hit wonders from the 80's live in such celebrity and opulence, Evangalist BONO, dangerous, true change will come from the grass roots, not from false profits that are more concerned with profits

[noname1209]

Perhaps, instead of spending €200million on a vanity skyscraper, he could spend that on poverty programmes?

[effinmedia]

There is a better way of solving extreme poverty.

[flyaplaneintoabuildi]

Why is it only the filthy rich who patronise us about poverty. That's just fucking ironic.

[Kiwinil]

Bono for president.

Who cares if he is rich, someone whos sells over 130,000,000 albums worldwide would be.

Who cares if he has a mansion in Ireland, so would you if you were famous and needed a place that was private with good security.

Who cares if he is changing the world and making poverty history? ME, those with open eyes, and those dieing from it.

[marcustiberius]

Most of these comments are really lame. No one's perfect and unless you are without sin yourself why the disparaging comments? So what if Bono flew his hat first class? Maybe it was immature of him or whatever... If by using his puplit he can inspire people to become involved and thus inspire people to act - is that so bad?

[florgamary]

He's done more than anyone else ever has. And he's been nominated for the nobel peace prize because of it. That Bastard!

[vhuskey]

lenny:

yeah. i suppose you pay more on your taxes than you need to, right? do you even know how much bono and u2 have given to charities for ireland? u2 doesn't"hide" thier money, they talk openly about it. for some, no matter how much he gives and does for others, it just never enough. i suspect these and you don't do a thing at all for charities. he's not even asking the world for money, he's asking for your voice.

[lanawife]

you would do the same with your money, knobhead.

[Matagonzo]

Impresionante.

[maxj23]

This coming from a guy who when in Paris realized he forgot his favorite HAT in Ireland, flew his HAT yes ladies and gentlement, his HAT first class via british airways.

Yes, BONO, make poverty history.

[BeneathTheNoise]

I don't care if he flies his whole wardrobe over first class. He makes people feel like they can make a difference.

[maxj23]

yup so that he can earn off other people

[vhuskey]

maxj23:

so what? if he flew his hat? it's his money, he's rich, he's EARNED it. he &u2 work very hard on their craft. that's how they make $, not from these charities as you're implying. he's raised over 100 billion for charities, i don't think this hat thing is going to make or break the cause. by the way, what have you ever done to help. he's only asking for your voice!

[cherylcerribruno]

I agree...I just posted a video relating to this to You Tube...check it out...we can all make a difference...Cheryl

[florgamary]

This was amazing!! I was at the concert in Chicago!! U2 live is like nothing else.
