marimax 21.02.06, 13:18 The hero of all eggheads, is going to donate one of his guitar to benefit Brazil's Zero Hunger campaign. What a sacrifice. How can he afford it Why don't we start raising money for a new guitar for him Odpowiedz Link czytaj wygodnie posty
bartis_ervin Re: Going back to Bono 21.02.06, 15:39 I wouldn't totally agree with that. It's not about money. Bono is good "salesperson" and unfortunately, human rights need to be "sold". Whether he sells his guitar, writes a song about Aung San Suu Kyi or projects the Universal Declaration of Human Rights during U2 concerts, he does a good job. (now I don't want to write about Data.org, which is an excellent advocacy project founded by Bono) It is far from me to defend the Gateses (I use only one Microsoft product), but they gave away more money than any organisation or state in the world. You could say: "So what? He is the richest man in the world!" Well you would be right, but besides giving away much money, he invested his time and energy to build an efficient system of distributing this money. So, not just he gave away a huge amount of money, but he did it in the most efficient way. Bono and the Gateses are not for wishful thinking and they don't appeal to the guilt in my heart: I credit them for introducing business-like techniques in the relief/development world. And they couldn't do any better. From my own personal experience, I can tell you that some UN agencies are not more efficient than some second hand company in Mikstat. This year Czech Republic will give 100 times more money for development aid than Poland. When in the Sejm they were just reducing the amount of the aid until there was barely anything left, I didn't hear any Edyta Gorniak or Green-Hair-SamiSwoi-Michal protesting. On the other hand, I think many economists/accountants agree with me: it was great to have Angelina Jolie in Davos Economy is becoming sexy Ervin Thebartiski.blogspot.com Odpowiedz Link

flickywicky Re: Going back to Bono 22.02.06, 08:46 Just leave Bono alone. Maybe he's not the best singer but U2 definitely is the best rock band there ever was. The real band! These guys have been playing and making good records together for more than 20 years. They know how to rock! Odpowiedz Link

It's true that U2 have never been the best rock band ever, even 20 years ago when they were good. But the fact that so many groups now copy their sound proves that they're popular and (sadly) influential. So maybe someone out of Coldplay will pay a million pounds for the guitar and finance a huge amount of fishing rods for Africans. > WHAT A JOKE. > I never laughed so hard Never? Odpowiedz Link

kylie1 Re: Going back to Bono 23.02.06, 00:22 I am glad you found that one, Dave. On your usenetpost I sent a link with the same thing but for some reason you guys couldn't open it. That's the one! I don't understand German but I am sure his comments are also pretty funny! We have a few shows like that. One is an older show called "Smile, you are on Candid Camera" ( with Susanne Sommers...in her 60's now but with the body of a teenager) and the other one is from Montreal's Comedy Channel. Those Montrealers can be quite ingenious when it comes to practical jokes. ex. a guy is walking down the street, he's throwing out his ice cream wrapper. A hand pops out of the garbage can and grabs him. You have about 10 people do the same thing one after another and you watch heir reactions. I don't know about some of these people but I think I would get a bloody heart attack. Some people laugh, some get scared and some run away and call the police. I remember the little kid...his curiosity got the best of him, he got on his tippy toes and bravely looked into the bin. Then he pulled the wrapper out of the guys hand, gave him this evil look full of disgust and contempt and walked away. Odpowiedz Link
