Everyone is hating on Bono, it's your opinion which is fine. But why are you guys here? It just seems like a huge waste of time to be investing time in something you hate. Go do something you find worthwhile, you'll enjoy it so much more than finding things wrong with this. As well as if people can receive something positive from this then don't criticize them for it. I thought it was a pretty good and interesting speech. That's just me.

One of the greatest speakers of our time.

[Ben Bon]

There is an armed rally on July 4th to celebrate our freedoms provided by the Bill of Rights & Constitution in DC. All US citizens are invited, 1.5 million are expected to be there. There should be no rational opposition to everyone carrying weapons. Show solidarity & unity in this historic rally of WE THE PEOPLE. Without this show of strength, we all face endenturement by an oppressive authoritarian govt who has no respect for our freedoms. Suit up & show up. Pass it on.

JESUS CHRIST IS LORD -

Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind - TRUST JESUS CHRIST, LIVE FOR HIM AND YOU WILL BE SAVED !

It's like a wrestling match , you need a good guy and a bad guy. It's just as much fun to hate someone as love them. A pantomime won't work without a villain just as you need a Hitler against a Churchill. Many people find Bono distasteful because he makes such a public display of giving 1 % of his vast earnings to charity when most people keep it to themselves. Jews believe charity is invalid if you go blabbing about it. The silly sunglasses don't help but it's his smugness that grates.

I wouldn't compare Bono to Charles Manson though U2 stole The Beatles' song from him.

Hope is a word that means hope. Human being can be great and other things it is not worth to talk about now. Thanks Bono for your soul, your wide view of this world, your fighting spirit.
