    Maybe if Bobbo retrained in the medical field he could do more... Or just stopped being so much of self-absorbed cunt.

    London student protests turn violent, arrests made... here's hoping that no group applies any strategy to their protesting, because the outcome could be very different.

    Maybe... but then who's going to raise the money to train future Doctors and Nurses? I think the idea was to raise awareness that the self-absorbed cunts reaction to the issue has resulted in a global failure. Well done for providing yourself as the evidence to back that up

    "Adele is doing nothing" etc... if you've seen the interview where he utters those words you'll find that there's an entirely different context, although that doesn't sell papers... but it does detract, and pour derision, on the fact that 30 years ago a group of musicians raised billions of $ around the world to help the starving in Africa etc... something that every single govt on the planet with all of their resources and free money have been unable to achieve EVER. Tis a media beat up.

    The people they fix... Those who donate without having to look to musicians... How much have you donated to the cause? that is the measure of a self absorbed cunt in this context is it not, how much has Bobbo donated (net donation after discounting for tax breaks/evasion generated that is).

    And lets not get started on how much or little of the donated money gets to where it should... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-pay-guns.html

    Actually the money raised by Band Aid paled in comparison to the aid received by government sources.

    I don't give to charity anymore... charitable industrial complex n all.

    Better than getting nothing eh.

    True, over the years that is... and yet they've still not nailed the problem.

    Figured as much.
    Your view is shared by some of these folks too http://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa...833733496.html
    Who actually find the song's content somewhat offensive "According to some estimates, the Christian population in Nigeria alone is almost three times the number of Christians in England and Wales. How couldn't they know it’s Christmas? Bishop Arinze from Nigeria was at one point even in the running to be the next Pope."

    May be better than nothing, but perhaps there is a better way to give, than through record moguls? something like a dedicated organisation set up not only to deal with crisis, but to actually help those in need help themselves when a headline grabbing crisis is not happening. Don't buy into the white man saviour complex so much mashy, or if you do, at the very least pay for it eh!

    Maybe you should tell Bobbo that then, cos he is on to 'solving' a different problem...

    I appreciate why they'd see things that way.

    I'm sure there are plenty of ways to go about addressing the issue, and that many organisations have been setup and could be created to deal with the issue with the best of intentions etc... yet I still see the same problem 30 years later. Must be those stubborn dying people not wanting to get off their arse and work their way out of their situation causing the problems eh... ungrateful shits that they must be. rofl:@buying into white man saviour complex, I did mention that I don't give to charity anymore, right?

    I don't see him as trying to solve the problem, more raising awareness and getting something meaningful (money) to those who would like to act locally but don't have the funds to do it. I applaud and admire him for what he is trying to achieve, irrespective of how futile I see the action being.

    Patronizing and condescending attitudes ... it's the same lame brained soft-cock attitude behind anti-antisemitism critics!

    Jews are approx 3% of the world population yet are involved in about 90% of world cultural activities and political influence!

    They simply do not need such arrogant demeaning platitudes expressed as sympathy pity or some other kind of lame excuse for being who they are!

    They believe they are Gods chosen people and they know it even though gentile faux sympathizers do not know or understand what that means!

    To explore and discuss one of the worlds most historically influential and leading people should be foremost!

    Unfortunately any (presumed) negative mention or discussion of Jews becomes damned beneath something as pathetic as an "antisemitic" charge!

    Like every other people on this earth Jews make mistakes and when they do they should be entitled to criticism just like every body else ... just who are the real anti-Semitics?

    Just as I appreciate why they know a shit-tonne more about the right way to see things than me, you, or bobbo. You might be surprised how much good can be done by those in need when just a wee leg-up is given; so don't be so quick to dismiss all charities as 'futile' like Bobbo's, unless you just want to excuse your own greed ofc, then go right ahead. I mean, try being the change you wish to see, instead of whining loudly at other's not changing on your whims.

    Source? or go throw your antisemitic arse off a bridge.

    The antisemitic charge is not leveled at you because you wish to discuss them, it is leveled at you because you just attempt to promote hate speech against them.
