Bono from U2

I can't put this venting in a venting thread cause it deserves its own space.

You've all heard about Bono's visit to Canada's Prime Minister Paul Martin,whet pisses me off is Bono's attitude,thinking Canada is some kind of charity organisation we're in deep shit the nation's deficit is far from dropping to zero,and the jerk come here to ask Canada to give more money to third world country.

I got a message for you Bonehead go ask Shrubby to give money to third world nations and leave Canada alone.

Venting off

Moved out of HOS. ~D

I think it would be more like "Sorry about bombing the shit out of your country. Here's some cash to fix it."

No, it's more like "We bombed the shit out of your country, now here's some cash to rub it in your face to let you know who's boss."

[Sarcasm]It's good to be the boss.[/sarcasm]

With that out of my system, we've always been a country to fight first. Sadly.

Why is he a hypocrite? I know he's arrogant and full of his own self-importance. But hypocracy is a charge I haven't heard levied against him. What are the details?

My main sway of opinion came about when I watched an awards ceremony recently. (well about a year ago). He was shown pulling up in a nice long limosuine, sipping from champagne glasses, dusting down his lovely designer outfit and waltzing into the arena. An hour later, he's up on stage pissed shouting how our governments are a bunch of bastards (a true enough charge I suppose). His philosophy seems to be one of 'give and let live' - so why isn't he dishing the cash out?

Now, I've based my opinion entirely on this single event so feel free to show me that I am wrong and he has done the things I accuse him of not doing. One day I might then learn to research before I make these kind of outbursts

Nah, don't worry about it. My previous post was too lawyerish even for my own tastes. I don't like Bono either, but I simply hadn't heard anything about him being hypocritical before. But given your observation it makes sense.

He's actually a nice guy in RL. I met him once in Dublin. Top Fella and not the pretentious bastard he'd like people to think he is.

Million Dollar Hotel (written by Bono) nice try but

No fair putting Milla Jovovich and Mel Gibson together in a movie and then have it be fucking weird.

He might be a decent guy in person. But publicy he's comes off like a pretentious, hypocritical jackass.

Well put. The US simply does not realise money does not compensate for all the lives lost during a war.

More along the lines of:

'Hello, I grew up in a welfare project in the worst section of a small country with a very real terrorist problem. When I first got rich some bastard S.O.B.'s stole money I donated to help kids like my self and gave it to the Terrorists that made my childhood fuckin hell. So you can see why I don't want this fucking thing happening in some other country'

-or My attempt to step into Bono's shoes for a moment,

I just heard that he went to the US Congress and ask them to give $15.000.000.000 to help third world countries,stating that it would be a good thing for the US.

Someone explain to me how giving third world dictators 15 billion is going to be a good thing for us? All they'll do is squander it on shit they don't need, instead of things their people actually need, like medicine.
