[QUOTE="Jiglo, post: 694713, member: 3953"] I disagree, on the basis that Geldof and Bono made a massive point on poverty in third world countries while they sitting on a mountain of cash. Even if they gave away 10 million pounds each, it's still less of a financial burden to them than to the average person giving away 10 quid to charity. Most people have to make sacrifices to pay their bills and mortgages, yet Bono and Geldof can buy whatever they like outright. Therefore to preach to the millions of ordinary people about the starving in Africa seems really hollow when they the top .1% have the real spending power to make a difference. It's much easier to go on a crusade against injustice when you have weeks or months of free time to fill and credit to them for raising the issues, but to go public and make a stance against an injustice while having the power to make a real difference themselves without breaking into their vast fortunes is hypocrisy of the highest order. I'm not impressd when the like of Branson makes a 1 million pound donation to a charity. It's nice that they do that and it's a credit to them for making the effort, but for a poor person to donate a pound when they're struggling to make ends meet is a far greater gesture in my eyes:king: Bono is worth 400 million pounds, he's flown a hat first class across the ocean ffs, he's spent 160 million pounds on Forbes magazine - which is the capitalists bible:S How can that make me a hypocrite to call him a hypocrite when he's the one raising the issues, looking like he's deeply hurt that people are suffering, yet squeezing as much money from capitalism as is possible:S Him and Geldof are 2 of the worlds biggest hypocrites. They're the people with time to raise issues without actually harming their own savings:naughty: [/QUOTE]
