By the way Youtube. I've been broadcasting to millions for years. Just wanted to test just what information you will allow smart, informed citizens to post. Now I know your limitations.
NetixTelevision, if you receive this, it is because YouTube is blocking important information. I will now increase the number of people by 2 million that I broadcast to.
But here's the thing, you stupid shit, you can't fix an ENTIRE COUNTRY that's as screwed up as Africa by yourself. He could donate every thing he owns to helping Africa, and it wouldn't make much of a difference because it's not just something one person can do.
So yes, he does talk about it a lot, but that's because more people need to get off their asses and actually help.
What have YOU done to help fight poverty that gives you the right to judge bono?
you're quite clearly brainwashed by him so there is no point arguing. I suggest you empty your pockets while bono and I will keep our cash in the for living the good life. When the african put down there weapons and stop beading like rats then i'll happily help.
First of all Africa is CONTINENT NOT A COUNTRY! I have done my share maybe not a scale like these celebrities but these are hand-outs, most of these speeches are not willing to let most of these countries become a part of the global markets but provide money to the dictators. Then we continue to have people like yourself believing that the whole CONTINENT is in shambles when its not. It took will take people like China, Dubai,and Russia to do in 5 years what the west will never do.
@simonsigns let me see...he has done nothing to help africa...?he hasn't created arareness??? he hasn't helped save lives of starving young children, women and men??? But you have? You have raised money to save actual lives? you have actually gone out to africa and experienced the harsh realities? Do me a favour, look in the mirror and you will see the real hypocrite staring back at you. ASS!
whu bash a man for trying to help out the world he lives in. i think bono has done alot of good with his money an dtime. name something meanigful you've done with your money and time that benefitted not just yourself.
How does that help the poverty in Africa? By the way, he has already been there, many times, but in interest of helping those people. Maybe u just dont have the nrs of african children that U2 has helped throu their concerts? Its nothing wrong beeing rich if you know how to spend the mony right.
With permaculture, Africans could feed themselves, protect their environment.
Starvation and Malnutrition could be history within 24 months!
But the West (Europe/USA) wants their gold, their oil, their coltan, their cotton, their rubber, their metals, their cocoa etc etc and they want it cheap.
And the Banks want their ultilities, their health systems, the Corporations want their markets.
Have you not read any of the other posts here? Coz, Bono does talk about how the West reaps all the benefits from Africa, it's resources and goods, and how Africa isn't benefiting at all from the so called free trade, that's why Bono also advocates for fair trade for Africa!
Geldof and Bono! Give up your millions! Give up your luxurious lifestyles! Go! Go now! Go to Africa! Work as an aid workers! Others do! Work as selfless saviours to the African people! Abandon your fame! Go now! Famine is ever present it doesn't happen every 20 years! Go now! Show us your true principles! Go to Africa!
Boner needs to help himself to a piping-hot cup of STFU. If he's really so holy and pious, he should donate ALL of his money to the blacks, instead of trying to have it BOTH WAYS, and still spending money on gay-ass designer sunglasses. Stop preaching and being so sanctimonious, Boner. Ireland and Britain have problems that need solving, too.
No you're wrong it wasn't just Bono who moved the royalty part of the U2 company to Holland but U2! Big difference!! You seem to forget that there are 4 members of U2 all of whom have an equal say. Bono doesn't make all the decisions for the band!! Also, only the royalties part of the U2 company was moved, which up to now have never been taxed. U2 still live in Ireland and pay income tax, business tax, etc. that any other ordinary Irish citizen would.
Sorry if I came off a little strong! But I still think you're missing the point, Bono's trying to make sure that the countries of the United Nation's keep to their commitments. And for all we know Bono may have objected to tax move, knowing full well how it would look, but was out voted! For me it's totally a non-issue. Coz the issue of extreme poverty is bigger than one man and his finances! The poor need a spokesperson, and Bono with all his flaws is better than no one!
There is nothing worse then being told by "pop stars" that we have to save the planet, we have to end poverty, etc etc, millionare capalists trying to save their souls. hypocriates !
bono/bozo, whatever, - why don't u do humanity a favour and just relocate yrself, by going and living the rest of your life in some mud shack in Africa? We really don't need bullshitters like you, - and u know wot boz, - yr songs suck too!
Ahw, are you really a that kinda fool?? Don't you understand that no one else would do this in Bonos place? He has to use his popularity to convince the world leader to turn their eyes and minds to this forsaken continent. He can do much more by talking with the right people than investing himself in land work.
And btw Bono and his wife were in Africa and worked there for more then a month. And U2s'songs are great, you must be deaf to say something like that...
Thanks, if I had the chance I'd gladly do that but not the crappy songs, because there are no to join.. Better(much better) than sitting at your PC, Mac or whatever and pulling out your hatred everywhere!
Bono's a great guy, ok, perhaps he's not sharing all of his hard earned money with the poor(I don't think you would at his place!) but at least he's doing something very extraordinary what hardly anyone else has done before - looking and turning back to the helpless.
well, do let us know when he finally gets the knack of doing it 'correctly', - b'cos the 'helpless' are still helpless, - (at the last count)...& I don't hate the guy, I just think he is a hotair balloon who means good, - & he DOES come up with crappy songs :)
Of course they still are helpless,you can't change it to good in one moment,you need time!
Bono's right-it's not about charity but justice!To let the Africans trade fair,so they'd be able to earn their money on their own!The changes gotta come from the inside with help from the outside-us. Because we're just lucky to be born in such a place like Europe,America etc,instead of Asia and Africa.And poverty is the place where the hatred(-terrorism) begins(mostly),so it's a strategic approach as well!
Might I suggest you remove your fucking evil mercenary 'game' revolving around the disrution of Venezuela & put at least 1% of honesty or an iota of integrity behind the shit you spout!
YOU MAKE ME SICK INTO MY OWN SCORN!!!!!
BONO YOU OPITIMIZE A COMPLETE SELL OUT & THUS ARE JUST AN ARSE HOLE!
Dude - you really need to control your anger. You're right world's wealth and the rules for getting it, are indeed controlled by land-grabbing thugs and criminals masquerading our political leadership, and indeed many of them are American and European racists, but use your anger to get smart. You have the right to be angry, but what have you done lately to change the global wealth gap?

Watch my video. It's about Earth changes.
Continental Drift: One huge supercontinent, became 2 continents, then 5 (or 6) continents, and then?
I wonder, does climate change can affect global economy growth?

Bono wants governments (really meaning taxpayers) to fund his pet projects. So how much does Bono donate?
TheVoiceOfTruth 4 years ago
More than you do! And it's not his duty to do that - to donate, remember, he's also a tax payer as you are.
I didn't know that starving Africans are also called pets.. How can someone be that selfish??

No need to bite my head off there :P
I am a U2 fan myself, but at aleast I admit that this rich man telling us to give our money to charity is evading taxes himself.
I am aware U2 has four members, principal management etC
I used Bono as an example because he is the frontman of the band and campaigns against poverty featured in the clip above.
