Quote from: Bob Geldof
Can I just say that I am totally disgusted at that young mans comments (DarkIreland).

People are dying through hunger, and this is something you will never know. You just have to walk down to your local Abrakebabra and fill your face, these poor people in Africa are lucky if a fly lands in their mouth as this is a meal for them!!

And sure, people laugh at me because I dress like a tramp and Live aid is my only real claim to fame, but people do not find humor at your suggestion that we should nuke these poor bastards into oblivion.

Besides, one necular missile could feed one thousand families for six years with beef hula hoops!!

Think about that young man!

And you should be ashamed to call yourself Irish!!

I hope Bono does not see your post, it would break his heart!!


Lol  :D

G8 SHITE !!!

What makes them think they can come to Scotland and fart about on a golf course. All our money is going into paying for security to keep these eejits safe when that money could be going to Africa and these 8 fannies could meet in a shed and discuss stuff instead of one of the most luxurious hotels in the world.

What a load of b*llox tbh we have multi-millionaires performing at a concert to highlight the poverty in 3rd world countries.

Are they taking the piss or what ?


Will anything really good come out of this apart from their egos being inflated to new heights ?

A poxy concert will not make poverty history only governments can/will do that.Maybe the debt might be wiped but will that achieve anything ? Hardly as most 3rd world countries are in dire need of financial aid.

And will they make poverty history ? Like hell they will it makes no financial sense for them to spend/waste billions on the 3rd world.

Even the 1st world countries have huge poverty problems and most of their governments don't want to know.Ireland per capita is one of the richest countries in the world but almost a quarter of the population lives on the poverty line.Does the government care like hell they do.

Rant over. :x


The live8 concerts were held to raise awareeness to the general public. They hope with this mass public support (billions of people) will put pressure on the G8 leaders to a) wipe out the poorest countries debts b) double aid c) hold fair trade with African countries.

It is not a charity, it more political than anything. Political decisions are made either because they have to (ie: sign a oil agreement with some middle-east countrie) or by public pressure (ie: the fox hunting ban in britian). Bod Geldof hopes with all this support they can achieve his 3 aims and start the long walk to a better Africa.

The concerst were very good. I was watching the London one. Madonna, Robbie Williams, Peter Kay, Da Little Britian fellas, U2, Coldplay with Richard Ashcroft doing 'Bittersweet Symphony', Pink Floyd, The Who, REM (wtf was wit that blue strip on his face???) Bod Geldof doin 'I dont like mondays' are just a few of the fuckin class acts on all day and night. Craig David was deadly in Paris and Will Smith was brill in Philly. I sure as hell wud have liked to been out there.

Over all, i watched most of it and wat i saw was very gud.

yes, tax money, I'll tell you what, is it better to donate a few million to feed a thousand or a few billion to build something that can drop fucking bombs? there is NO moral argument over this.

I agree. One well placed multi-million plane... and regime change is in place.
