Bono's speech @ Harvard University (2/2)

[padderz98]

All Bono does is Tell US!! to give money to charity but he's got 100 millon in his back pocket!

[bonavox11]

@padderz98 Actually he's got lots more than 100 million 'in his back pocket' and he just donated 7 million to help out Africa . I wonder how much YOU donated last year . Not to mention Bono lobbying with world leaders in order to try and cancel Africans international debts . So don't tell me that Bono 'just TELL's US', cause obviously, he does more than that, so show some respect for the man . !!

[MrSalvadorviceconte]

Agreeing or not, I can only say that he's somebody who has all the money in the world and still doesn't stop trying to help the ones in need. Thank you Bono for inspiring people to make a better world!

Here is the full text of the speech, the ending is powerful...

w w w . commencement.harvard.edu/2001/­bono_address.html

[WillisStrong]

Will Bono fight as hard for China to absolve the US of all debt as well?

[bodypowr]

nobel prize for bono!!!!

[1986vertigo]

they cant do it alone and its their money they can spend it how ever they want to but seriously what if he desides to give out millions do u really think its gonna get to the poor???? i dont so why give out money that other people are gonna use to get richer u gotta educate people first still i love them their music is great.

[Mabes1800]

I'd love to see the rest of his speech

anyone know where to find it?

[GOATAli]

Third world my fuckin arse. They have been getting billions for fucking years and nothing has changed. When will this smug little fuck knock it off. The tosser couldn't give a flying fuck about Africa, he lives like a freaking king; just a pity he can't spend a few bob on cleaning himself up

[planetery]

@GOATAli Fair enough- but what the fuck are YOU doing to change it? Exactly. So shut the fuck up.

[GOATAli]

@planetery Isn't it my fucking money that this little creep is

throwing at Africa? My money, not fucking his. So, before you jump

in with your stupid statements, stop and think....So, I am doing a whole

bloody lot for blody Africa and Bono's big ego

[planetery]

@GOATAli Dollar for dollar, Bono's donated more of his own money to that cause than your entire family will EVER make.

Besides, giving money does fuck-all to change things, genius. That's why Bono's been campaigning to clear the debt record.

Here's a thought- why don't you complain about someone who is actually

EVIL and trying to harm people? It's not like there's a shortage of them. But no, you wanna trash somebody who's actually TRYING to help. Way to go.

You are a useless twat. 

[GOATAli]

@planetery You really are one gullible sod!

[planetery]

@GOATAli You have jack shit to say. Which is why you dropped teh debate and went straight to personal insults. Way to go.

[GOATAli]

@planetery Read back over the chat and you may

just see that it was you who started the personal insults.

[planetery]

@GOATAli I didn't insult you. i just said as long as YOU are not doing anything to HELP, you should refrain from criticizing those who ARE. Telling you to shut the fuck up isn't an insult, it's a public service. That applies universally, BTW. Lead, follow, or get the fuck out of the way.

[cacophony1]

@planetery Might be because bono has more money and its probably a small thing. I just hate how musicians try and become politician and feel more important than the rest of society put together, like bono. We are all fucking aware of the problem he is pointing out - all he has is unwarranted self importance.

[planetery]

@cacophony1 "Unwarranted"? Dude was instrumental in getting African debt records erased. That's Huge. How much have YOU done?

Instead of hating others for being proud of themselves, why don't you ask why You DON'T feel proud of yourself? How he feels about himself has no bearing at all on the way you feel about yourself, so the only reason it could bother you is if you wanted to feel special too, but don't,

If you think you can do better, stop talking and do it.

[inhmn]

@cacophony1

i second that. Bono is fag who's advertising himself with this stupid quzi-political campaigns. To rot in hell all bastards like him.

[bonavox11]

@cacophony1 Bono donated 47 million us dollars to poverty last year, due to

the 'RED' campaign . I wonder how much YOU donated, you ignorant little fuck !

You'd better show this man some GODDAM RESPECT !!

[bol316]

@GOATAli They have been trying to cure cancer for decades too. Hasnt worked, so fuck it right? Is that your approach? U have to try SOMETHING genius. All U can do is just do the right thing and hope it works. U sound like every greedy little right winger in America who just cant handle ANYONE else having a NICKEL of their money. How has this world turned so self-centered? This vulgar greed is enough to make me want to throw up. Societies used to embarass and rain down shame on people like that

[rags847]

Did you ever find out?

[doctorwintercold]

Bono and Bill Gates for president 2012!

[rydan2002]

If Bono knocked..I'd let him in.

[infocus]

"It was a new level of un-hip for me...but it was very cool."

[chicagosnapshot]

Bono sold out..hey Bono what about Juarez, Mexico....thanks

[Tycrew13]

man he was dissing the new harvard prez hard there.

[adamgomori90]

Paul Houson. you rock. I shall see you in Toronto on Thursday.

[zacharywild]

makes a ton of dough but gives back with time and connections. gotta love that no matter what your politics

[mslex666]

I love Bono. True Humanitarian

[rawdawg15]

Is there a man with a messiah complex like him?

[soulmusicmad]

@radawg15. I dont think so,at least you would go a long way to find one who has! The man is just a bluffer and coulden,t hold an educated conversation if he worked at it! Just Jumpin on the ''I DONE THIS FOR HUMANITY" band wagon.If you wish to do good you dont have to let the whole world know about it.

I am Irish,Not a u2 fan and have never bee able to figure out what all the hype is about this bloke!!

[scorpius319]

@soulmusicmad

He has always been a humanitarian, about as long as the band has been in existence. You being Irish doesn't mean anything, hell, I know quite a few Irish that can't stand Guiness...

[matildakaya]

Least he is trying, I admire that.....

[yvamarquer]

Bullshit, bullshit, pass the Dom Perignon.

[Kaldhore]

so yea take the piss out of him cos hes So evil isnt he??

[Kaldhore]

People take the piss out of bono as like its now socially acceptable, but tbh he does more per his share in global economics/polotics/socialism and whatever else - yea mock him but hes doing more than YOU

[22cardinals]

Bono or Paul?

[morgane2]

:) good speech bono :) ! we here in belgium support you ! :)

[Spiiiderrr]

This is better than the political speech of the ultimate warrior.

What a guy! =D

[62BONO]

this man is a real legend of our times.

[niceguy33]

Bono has some cool glasses. A true rock legend of our time. That's really cool to see him talking to the Harvard crowd. Great video!

[inzithaksin]

[openskay]

[nekochan223]

[3yearshardcore1]

Bono is a felcher

[cccarliten]

Hahaha, Bono is very funny :))

[bbabnik]

ker zubonja pr 3:28 ;)

[THEGREATROBYNIE]

This was a great video. Bono is so funny, while he gets to the point. I'm begging if you have the rest of the speech PLEASE upload it, because it was so enjoyable.

Tax again, and God Bless, Robyn. And keep up the good work with the videos.

[THEGREATROBYNIE]

Beautirul video, and Bono said things that are so true. Drop the debt campaign has now finally worked for some of the poorest 3rd world countries, mostly in Africa. Keep up the good work Bono, and keep those songs coming, because they dig down deep into one's soul, and helps , and heals. God Bless You Bono, and U2, Robyn
