I think you're right JJ :?
Personally, I love U2, and I think Bono is a saint.
A saint! Are you having a laugh? If he gave as much to charidee as he's spends on Bolivian marching powder disappearing up his nostrils instead of telling me to dig into my pocket, I might take him seriously. But generally I feel like I should slap him in the face with my c--k, and let's face it he's about the right height for that.
Between him and Sting(k) they make my blood boil!
I think bashing Bono seems to be the 'in' thing to do at the moment, and to be quite frank, he's doing more than 99% of the rest of the population - he's creating awareness, and that's accented by someone of his calibre. I'm sure most people walk straight past people trying to hock socialist alternative magazines, but if it were Bono, well, there'd be quite the crowd.
What exactly are you doing to make poverty history? Less than Bono? Yeah well you make my blood boil :lol: 
Whoa there Dobbin, if you think that poverty will disappear just because shorty is telling us all that we should cough up, then you must have a room temperature IQ.
I don't need some self promoting $%witt to tell me there are impoverished people suffering all over the planet. Christ I can drive (quickly) through some of the local council estates around here and see poverty. Does Bono the pious let the poor and homeless in Ireland into his private estate or the exclusive U2 owned hotel in Dublin? I doubt it, seeing he avoids paying tax in his homeland. He must think Ireland is well enough off without his contribution to society. How holy.
Does St. Bonio go on as much about his expenses covered by the Live 8 organisation when he did Live 8? I'd like you to quote me how much of his own money the little tit gives to good causes?
There's a funny story about the tiny terror when he was doing an anti-drugs shoot for MTV. They had to do 5 takes until someone had the courage to tell the short tw@t that he should wipe his nose as there was a bit of talcum powder around his nostrils.
It's also funny how he only seems to get press for his good works when there's either a tour or an album due out soon. Maybe that's coincidence eh?
What do I do to lesson poverty? Hmm I pay my taxes, which is more than I can say for the private jet, island owning, sanctimonious, self-declared messiah, designer sunglasses wearing tw@t.
