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.

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

@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 . !!

[padderz98]

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

@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 !!

@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.

@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. 

[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.

@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

[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!

@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.
