Matt Damon Pushes for Clean Water in Africa

[TheHobbgobblin]

how bout clean water in the usa, so i dont have to run around with a stupid plastic bottle...what a clever marketing ploy...

[TheWillthrill]

Matt Damon!? Shabbas Goy?!

Hammer to nailhead! Perfect contact!

[blumushroomwtfn]

yes if they only spend the budget to fix the problem but the Africans only line their own pockets and why must they help them self they are waiting for hand outs or waiting for an stupid American to adopt their children

[jamesmcashan]

i have a better plan, non-commercial and real.

it costs billions of $ per year to fly "christians" and stars to places

to do ads for things the government has already been paid for.

thanks anyway for "Green Zone" DVD (except the usual poor video quality)

and its not a little cowboy scarf, its a bandana! - james mcashan, candidate for the Congress of the United States of America. jamesmcashan.web.officelive @jamesmcashan text mssg on twitter

[trakkaton]

CLINTON does a lot to help: Bombing Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan, and Iraq, and Pakistan, and Libya...

...not quite drinking water, but at least cluster bombs ripping kids to shreds and depleted uranium, that radioactive poison.

HYPOCRISY HORRAY!

SMOKE SCREEN - ON!

[BrookieTheBox]

:D All hail Matt Damon

[tweave420]

..usa for africa...whatta fuckin scam..charity begins at home,what about our land...usa for usa thats what should come first..so fuck the niggers charity and let them die of thirst...population exploding ..clean water so they can b uneducated snake worshipers and witch burners? im for helping blacks in usa even though they all have blackberries and gov handouts already..keep money here

[antonny11]

@tweave420 Ur fucked.

[BrookieTheBox]

@tweave420 Dude you should shut up YOU Might be one of them you cock sucking faggot

[trakkaton]

@tweave420

That was quite a satirical hyperbole, but be cautious, somebody might actually think you mean it, as the imbecilic nature of US backwood baboons cannot be overestimated...

[MekaylaRudzek]

Matt Damon for President!!

[sonofJurell]

One thing that always strikes me about the internet an youtube in particular is the hate-I don't mean this in some wishy-washy liberal way. But the unhinged comments that you see posted-completely misinformed people with nothing but anger. Why are you watching something that you know will make you angry..is this what Socrates talked about concerning the 'abject' soul-there are people that want to be made to feel and humiliated..all this while the banks steal trillions!

[AlfredSwearengen]

Damon is a typical white liberal, a demasculated white man, a negro-excusing shabbas goy who advances the agendas of others at White people's expense. This guilt-marinated race traitor is running around rescuing the same evil black Africans who rape and torture White people. Damon is so ignorant and brainwashed that he doesn't even KNOW about the White genocide which is occurring across Africa. Damon gets all his info from jewish controlled media, his world view is shaped by it.

[everyoneSalegend]

that's very nice from you damon, but in the process of your becoming what you are now, you possibly indirectly helped in killing many more children of the world, by helping american corporate machine get more money from your acting. Because in the world of money it always comes down to this, you gotta know that before you decide to be something more than an actor.

[Kevinh1998]

A million dollars could drill many water wells. So wtf is problem. People are donating money and trying to help but these people are not getting the clean water. Where is the money going because it doesn't seem like the money is going to producing clean water for these people? I don't know maybe I am wrong.

[mcg199426]

HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU DISLIKE THIS YOU MISERABLE BASTARDS !!!

[antonny11]

@mcg199426 because some people are so fucking ignorant.

[SupraSovereign]

Matt Demon rah rah rah. Matt Demon rah rah rah. What a dork Fabian socialist kizzazz.

Watch Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura. He exposed what all these globalsocialists are doing. They are sucking the water out of the US, filling gigantic bladders full of water and toeing the bladders to China. Look what's happening to the Great Lakes. These people arent ecologists they are enemies to the ecology. They are nothing but Big Business on steroids. Beware of them.

[fredfinks]

@SupraSovereign

Shipping water to China?? why dont they just build a desalination plant? much much cheaper and easier.

Of all the stupid conspiracy theories i've got to say thats the dumbest one ive heard.

Maybe you should talk about domestic priorities in spending or even "fuck the africans", not crazy loch ness monster bullshit.

[mikeish4]

Wow look at this guy and how much he cares. Oh wait, he is an actor and a good one at that. This is another script for him and do you think he really cares?

[unintentionalatheist]

@mikeish4 yeah i think he does care

[LewiSaunders]

@mikeish4 Yeh. He cares. He does a lot of charity work. A lot of actors don't. he doesn't needa do this does he? He chooses to because he can help. And even if he is, it doesn't matter, cos he is still helpin' a ton of people. Great guy, more actors should do this.

[Astowhy]

There is what you can and can't do. For example.. Matt can drive home in a limo NoGuff, and others can't. Why, because we live in a capitalist economy. The more money you have the more you can do. Simple. Trying to de-rail Matt, and in turn his message is self defeating to the work you do. . Your both on the same side. I commend you on your work, and others like you. But don't alienate a Celeb because he shows an interest. Use it to your advantage. peace.

[KongSunWu]

Matt Damon is amazing, he has over come so much. An America is an an amazing country too, ion many countries a person, such as Matt, who was born with Down Syndrome would be placed in some sort of institution.

[itsTheSarz]

BOURNNEE!

[Y2YAY]

what about clean water in america? water without fluoride and chlorine... the list goes on! you need a good filter system in america if you want to drink good healthy water! africa doesn't need our help until we can fix our own! I'd like to see matt damon drink the water they are bringing to africa

[NoGuff]

More children die every 15 seconds from abusive parents and suffocation.

So did Mr. Damon go back to his mansion in his limo after this press conference?

By the way, I'm for dirty water in Africa, of course.

I mean, after 40+ years of volunteer work in Africa and specialists & engineers voluteering their expertise in Africa, they're still unable to have clean drinking water? Who's fault is that, honestly?

[Lachdenan]

Well, I would never trust a politician. I don't think it's a publicity thing with Matt Damon. Frankly, he doesn't need to do it. So, yeah, definitely don't hate on this guy--he's not trying to seize power like anyone else "helping."

[megatroll]

Matt Damon can suck my dick!

Publicity bullshit like this makes me sick. I hope you choke on a gorilla dick!

[Fishsticks187]

@megatroll wow, I guess your name says it all. Is it so wrong for a celebrity to do something other than get wildly drunk and indicted on cocaine possession? No. SHUT THE FUCK UP! You don't know shit.

[megatroll]

@Fishsticks187

Hm... why so serious?

U mad?

Or is it that you secretly crave Damon dick? Do you want it? Do you want to taste it? Yeah... I guess I found the reason for your butthurt rage.

[Fishsticks187]

@megatroll Yeah, yeah. I secretly crave Damon dick, just like you secretly want to blow your own brains out. Oh... you don't? Well, the difference is, I shouldn't be sucking Damon off, but you should be killing yourself you miserable waste of human life.

[megatroll]

@Fishsticks187

Hahaha, that's so awesome!!!

You just openly commited that you want to suck Matt Damon's dick! But hey, to each his own I guess. ;D

[ChicoMaui]

@megatroll Hey fishsticks, I'll bet you go to the same church uglytruth goes to. Yeah, a real caring Christian. Put your mouth to some other use than the trash you spew: buy a water bottle so that a little girl can have a better life than you apparently have. Why God loves you is beyond me.

[jc2333]

He is not just a great actor he is also a great humanitarian.

[KongSunWu]

Was it that Matt Damon was down syndrome baby or did suffer from fetal alcohol syndrome? In either case he is a great spokes person for the handicapped.

[BRAVITS]

im fucking matt damon

[cigolone1]

who gives a fuck about africans and clean water? give me my iphonez

[canadastreetmedia]

Matt Id love to help Bring Clean Water

But to the CANADIANS Living on reservations.

Vancouver British Columbia CANADA Hosts a lot of runaway USA Film Productions, ALL THE STARS COME THRU HEAR! big deal,The Goverment here makes a ton of extra tax Monies But we still have the poorest kids in CANADA ?

where is the benefit to Canadians ?

The Film UNIONS Operating in Vancouver are a discrace :When IATSE Members are starved~discriminated upon and treated like dogs.Im sure there kids are poor too

[Cygnet36]

I hope Matt Damon is as enthused about having clean water in California as in Africa, since the Marijuana farmers are polluting the ground water and no one including the EPA is doing anything about it.

One day Californians will be watering their wine grapes with contaminated water and will find their wine industry has been killed by the Marijuana Industry.

[bobrobertsz]

@Cygnet36 Who gives a fuck about California?

[101Amoeba]

Strange how media has made people blame eachother, and no-one takes responsibility.

[animalcollective124]

hammerofuglytruth....if u new knew anything about anything you would know that foreign companies come in all the time and take advantage of countries in africa. whether it be diamonds or water... you speak of corruption...africa wasn't corrupted before western countries came and raped it. you need to learn world history.

[Zunouno]

Matt Damon you've inspired me.

[jeffms2]

@Zunouno lol, what a douchebag!

[rafiqmalek]

@Zunouno he is my idol

[Conan568]

Maatt Daaaamon.

The fact that this Moron thinks anyone listens to him is proof of his candidacy for "Dumbest Fucktard in Hollyweird."

[589216001]

@Conan568 Are you serious? Go troll somewhere else.

[Conan568]

Wow big bad Western countries.

If you don't like the life we have here why don't you move, because it's development and industry that have given you the life you have and the ability to spew your bullshit on the internet.

Put your money where your bullshit is.

[589216001]

@Conan568 You are a fucking genius rn't you? I love my life and the life i live. But as a superpower we are also resposible for helping others. You cant just wake up and say it's not our fault that they can't feed themselves or that the children making your shoes barely have enough for food. It's just as bad to watch someone die when you could help, than to kill that person yourself. Why dont you go to school and grow the fuck up.

[Conan568]

Yeah right and on another thread you're probably bitching about how much we meddle in others affairs.

I see you people all the time you want it both ways, well reality sucks, but it's reality and we just have to play the cards we're dealt.

You're the one that needs schooling I'm afraid.

Whites gave South Africa back to the African's and look at what they did with it.

Countries are shitholes for reason's other than us meddling.

[buttlord123]

Film Actors Guild -- F.A.G

Maaatt Damon.

[DarthMai]

Matt Damon is an idiot and always will be...a tool for the Fuhrer.

[vmpslr2]

matt ds a fag,hes never done an work in his life

[jimmyjazz420]

speak english much?

[kalahermitcrab]

I think it is great Clinton is helping the poor but what about Genocide happening in Darfur, shouldent he dedicate a portion of his effort to that cause after allowing the genocide in Rowanda happen under his watch ?!

[jimmyjazz420]

fuck darfur. what have they done to deserve the help. just looking for a hand out

[hammerofuglytruth]

That's great. If Matt Damon wants to give his money to charities that do this fine. With the economic and budgetary crisis the nation faces we can longer be the cop and care provider to the world. We are spending ourselves into oblivion trying to right every wrong that's in the world. The people of sub-Saharan Africa need to start taking care of themselves and learn some self-reliance quick. Their focus should be on learning how to be farmers. Everything else can definitely wait.

[DreHectik]

I want to back you up because I think what we got to realize is that knowledge is power, and with this knowledge, such as farming knowledge or knowing how to build an irigation system or even how to get organized to do this, That's actually a stronger force that can help those people. It's never easy, to round some people up and teach them something new. THink about it. There are a lot of boundries. But it's really good that Matt is out there trying to do something for those poor people.

[hammerofuglytruth]

There has to be a time limit. Our aid and charity cannot go on forever. What this charity has done has made Africans dependent on the outside world. In some cases it's a lack of knowledge. In many cases it's Africans not willing to do the work required. We have to realize this and not continue to make excuses for the Africans so they can keep on getting aid and charity. Their population is growing uncontrollably because of this. They themselves cannot sustain this population.

[arcticmint]

Americans are fattest and laziest people on Earth. Their is an epidemic of type two diabetes among your children which is unique to The U.S. because your four year olds are as heavy as killer whales. All your young people do is play video games and eat foods with high Fructose Corn Syrup. If you want learn what hard work is move to Africa. Although knowing you fat Americans you would probably be to lazy to survive. Is it possible we are both making unfair generalizations?

[hammerofuglytruth]

Okay. How is this for a generalization: What would happen if the developed nations of the world stopped sending all aid to Africa? I tell you what we're talking about a lot of people dying within months. That's no generalization. African nations are non-self sustaining and going to continue being that way so long as others keep on providing for the them. Hard work in Africa? Doesn't look like anyone's working hard to feed the continent. One time people were doing it..... in Rhodesia.

[hammerofuglytruth]

I tell you what arctiment: A lot of Americans are fat but we are not asking the world to feed us because we are feeding the world(biggest agricultural exporting country in the world by far). That's no generalization. That's a fact. And that's not accomplished by a bunch of lazy people.

[downrightmystical]

Yes, and if american's stopped eating SO much of the food they produced themselves (aka, stopped eating more than is healthy and getting fat) they could probably end a decent amount of world starvation/poverty. Think of that.

[hammerofuglytruth]

@downrightmystical if Africans could learn(which they can't) how to feed their own population they would not have to rely on others to feed them. Africans can take a breadbasket like Rhodesia(now Zimbabwe) that fed much of Africa kick out the white farmers and turn it into what the rest of sub Saharan Africa is: a non-self sustaining economic basket case. Think of that.

[589216001]

@downrightmystical Dont even respond to hammerofuglytruth, they are clearly the voice of a massive minority of uneducated americans. They are probibly from one of the southern states as well.

[589216001]

@hammerofuglytruth The only reason we have so much wealth and prosperity is because we take advantage of 3rd world countries. Do a little research before you start spewing that bullshit.

[hammerofuglytruth]

@589216001 Africa has natural resources that bring it wealth. The way Africans govern themselves they are not able to exploit the resources effectively. Don't tell me all of the problems the Africans have is because of our prosperity. The Africans can take a breadbasket like Rhodesia(now Zimbabwe) and turn it into a shithole take the most developed wealthy country of the continent(South Africa) and overrun it with AIDS, crime, and corruption. Do some research before you spew your shit.

[589216001]

@hammerofuglytruth you are so fucking ignorant it's not even funny anymore.

[sparkyinbath]

@hammerofuglytruth Ha ha. Mate, i wouldn't say anymore. You're making a fool of yourself.

[electricguru]

What?????? Show everyone here your research indicating America has taken advantage of a third world country causing anyone to die from lack of food or water, and don't say Iraq or Afganistan, because we did not bomb or destroy anything related to those countries infrastructures. The insurgents, Iraqy people, and Taliban did every bit of that. I was in the military, and I have written documentation, many, many videos, and personal witnesses. Post your proof. We are wealthy for many reasons.

[EllyMcCormack]

hammerofuglytruth: I agree with you. It's harsh, but living in England I'm not making Generalisations when I say the more immigrants we take in Britain, the more aid we give them, the more we inhibit the process of change on that continent. There are schools doing courses in Nigeria on how to effectively exploit the Welfare System in Britain once you've gotten into the country.

[hammerofuglytruth]

@EllyMcCormack Elly sorry for getting back to you about your response so late. All the aid is doing is growing an African population that can't be sustained by them nutritionally. The bigger the population gets in Africa more aid will be needed from the developed world. This can't go on forever. What is being set-up is a humanitarian disaster in which the world has never seen and it will have been brought about by good intentions.

[EllyMcCormack]

Man that's very true. That's quite an eye opener. Thanks for getting back to me.

[ifoeifoe]

1st thing:

you can not make every black responsible for what a few blacks do

2nd: how would you act different if you were black? what do you want them to improve?

3rd: you also cough up money from people in 3rd world.

when you compare to how much the irac war costs and how much money the government and rich people cough up, the blacks don t cough up much!!

[be4realyo]

I had period blood once and that was enough for me. Let alone turning it into a puree. Yeah, I'm knocking it be 4 I try it yo.

[be4realyo]

I absolutely HATE imus. Now I'm offended. Nice one yo. dh

[be4realyo]

You like pudding made from human blood? Why do I waste my time writing lunatic's like you?

[be4realyo]

Lets bash your brains until you cough up your crack bag and stem.

[be4realyo]

You need a water stamp to shoot ducks. Sorry your food stamps don't apply. We try to save your race in africa and you want to shoot us? Typical nigger.

[ifoeifoe]

Usually the black people have less money so of course they have more thinks to complain about and can not help so much.

And nobody is really doing anything. It costs so less money to save a human's life in africa. We buy an ipod just to have some fun while we could save human's lifes with it. How ignorant is that?? what would you think if you were an african??

[eyetheskies]

Individuals can work to better the world, but only individuals.

[eyetheskies]

Yes, excellent outlook.

[PlainasJay]

the fanboys on this page seem to disagree, but I appreciate your moral support. Welcome to the club.

[johnnyman202]

If he really cared then he would have actively helped. He only made this video to save time. Matt "Demon" is only a baby. He can cry, but not help himself. "it's easier to wine than walk." He asked that girl 3 questions and continued walking back to his sex slaves.

[be4realyo]

You ever notice its white people always helping africa and all the blacks do here in the u.s. is complain about everything?

[tnCBman]

What about the WATER in MEXICO! Fix that first!!!! Then again, it's NONE of our BUSINESS!!! Let them fix it themselves!!!

[emulsify08]

The're many ways to provide clean water to people in Africa.

[hager552]

that would take away the point of helping others as a community

[abpower26]

just pay from your money stop ask for other money

you make allot

[Dooshganoosh]

Did you ever went to school?

[planetinvader]

Matt Damon attended Harvard University which is one of the most prestigious schools in the world.

[RoidinRichie]

matt damon is a dumbass

[rocktheflow]

Clearly you didn't.

[mikemagee77]

MATTTT DAAAMUNNNN

[GomerDose]

I'm pushing for clean water in my ass.

HIGH COLONIC!!

[gnomepower2]

i think its funny how you hear like 6 people clapping at the end :D i have no negative things too say , back to my project! lol

[CousCousBur]

MATT DAMON

[ptcpaul]

maybe if they had some type of population control and did not toss all thier garbage and washing clothes and dumping feces in the rivers there might be a chance of those poor souls of having clean water and a decent living enviroment

[Eequality72521]

ha, yes, becuase we dont dump all our garbage in the rivers.

[ptcpaul]

I guess you dont live in an area that has garbage service where it goes to a landfill, or maybe you just go to the river and dump your trash. I will agree that some areas of the country do pollute are rivers but not as bad as long ago, we also have scrubbers in smoke stacks to alleviate toxin from getting into the air

[Eequality72521]

the problem is that they have no place to put all their waste.

[donblackparks]

Sure they do.

Instead of Matt Flying around in private jets, he could spend his money on composting toilets...there is a simple, simple solution. Hmm, Africa..hmm, sun. hmm, sun, solar. Matt, spend your money on things that work. Show up with trucks and trucks of solar panels that pump water, produce electricity. You can even teach them to build their own composting toilets...meanwhile, he wastes our time with this useless story. SOLAR POWER matt.

he has to fly in a private jet......

[poopstreek]

Maaaaatt Daaaamon.

[patriot2972]

matt damon is ill. representing beantown, word.

[supersonic060]

Oo.. and your ill minded.

[sounynoma]

'Matt Damon Pushes for Clean Water in Africa

'

..Yeah, don't we all ?

[RoscoMalosco]

Holy fucking shit. I agree.

[PlainasJay]

I just want to punch that matt damon square in the face. Not because of his politics, I have no good reason whatsoever to hate him, but i do. FUCK MATT DAMON!!!!

[eischcream]

Every 15 seconds Matt Damon deceides to speak...which is a shame, because he really doesn't have anything good to say.

Don't worry, America will bring clean water to Africa...after we invade it's countless countries and establish democracy.

....Never forget Matt, you were 14 once too!

[ridorido00]

Holy crap, is Jason Bourne!..

[AstridVonAij]

That Damon! He's so darn relatable.

xo- Astrid

[KCDjedi]

I watched it live on CNN... did you happen to catch what he said about the guy in Germany?
