Please shut the fuck up alreadyIf you are so bloody concerned with poverty in the world why don't you fork over some of your own fucking money and quit living the posh lifestyle? Why is it that you feel so fucking important that you get to live the high life while insisting that OUR government spend money on aid to other countries while there are

[azulskies]

*jealous about Panama!!

[sickboy]

I think he should contribute .7 of his own GDP

[sickboy]

That's what I'm saying... lead by example buddy

cuz if he is now... what do you say we get together in a couple of weeks and try to solve poverty over a few brews and some karaoke?

I'm not a big fan of the "toss money at it" solution. A few of those countries are poor because the rulers are corrupt and keep all the aid money for their own uses. I'm in favour of helping them if the funds are actually going to help and not make a bunch of fat officials even fatter.

[sickboy]

yeah I'd have to agree there is so much corruption there. At any rate, it's not that I'm against helping... just against some hypocrite telling everyone else how to help without doing anything else but talk.

Yes, I'm sure he doesn't visit these countries on commercial airlines, sitting in the economy section.

/didn't follow the link
//still agree with your sentiment

I especially liked the statement that, if Martin doesn't fork over the money, he's going to lose in the next election.

Methinks the numbers touting widespread support by the Canadian public for the cause of helping poverty striken countries of the world are woefully inaccurate. Sure, it's nice to help others, but like you said, we have plenty of people here that need help too.

Yo... Bono-dude... do you know how annoying you sound?

[sickboy]

I have a feeling he doesn't
I read an article the other day in which he talked about how most people will likely forget about all the humanitarian work he's done but that his music will live on for hundreds of years because it's that important

That dude seriously needs to get over himself!

[gefiltebitch]

i think he should just shut up AND stop wearing that stupid cowboy hat.

who ever heard of an irish cowboy anyhow?

[sickboy]

hey, even an irishman can be a colon cowboy!
