Pop/rock stars are all w@nkers, just like your politicians, white people on benefit and people who don't have the same views and opinions as your good self.

There seems to be a general view that we should allow kids to die, thereby reducing population in Africa.
This of course works for us in the West as it allows for us to continue to consume a vastly disproportionate amount of the planets resources.
There are some genuinely unpleasant people on here, some of whom need to have a good look in the mirror.

Don't know if you include me in that little rant, but frankly there are a lot less tigers left than kids so I'm for saving the tigers first yes 
If that makes me unpleasant then so be it. Basically I haven't much time for human beings.

Don't get me wrong there is exceptions to this for example women raped by the very soldiers who are meant to protect them.
I also believe at some point we need to demand to see where the charity already sent to Africa has gone.
I am a father of two, and havent had anymore as at this point in time I aint in a position to afford a big family hence we arent having more kids.

There are charities that I will give to, my own amount on my own terms. Africa isn't one of them. I'd rather things like poverty are sorted out in my own countries (UK / Canada) before we give our money to somewhere else.
It's also like those who adopt kids from china, russia, other countries. How about adopting from your own country first. give those kids a chance. Ah, but the age old "oh it's too complicated to do it here, too much time and paperwork", that's not what I'd consider a caring and loving attitude, which I think is quite possibly a requirement for being a parent. I think most do it for the smug feeling they are better than others because they got a kid out of somewhere not so nice.

2) I do like to post forthrightly yes, it's part of my charm
Christ you've only been here 5 seconds, whether I am or not is not really for you to judge
first. Up to that point I don't think I had said anything remotely derogatory towards you. So as a newcomer I suggest you calm down a little Finally to an extent I am just 'yanking your chain' so chill out

many are compassionate, helpful, tolerant, kind and loving - all imo admirable qualities - but the flip side is, worse behavior than any other animal species imo which have helped lead to our current dominant role.
throughout our very recent social evolution, we studied and tested ways to induce the most amount of pain possible on each other, torturing, rape, murder were all commonplace, encouraged, veiwed as entertainment by many. with many societies murdering there own children - for whatever reason.
its the most disgusting behaviour thinkable - ok its not been everyone, many were/are against, but many supported this and more.
some species kill there own kind for food, or vengeance or to ensure blood lines - a few may occasionally kill for training there young, - but its not common practice to actively seek ways to increase pain just for the sake of increasing pain.
theres no doubting our intelligence as a species and behaviour does and can change in time - but its due to changing social acceptance, enviroment, resources ect ect.
the now regarded "civilised" wests history is just as laced with atrocities as anywhere else.
not that id wish harm against humans, i do wish animals had the same freedom of the land as theyve historically had. Its a kindof negative feedback loop that humans are involved in.
so long live the tigers, and the ants, bears, fish, lions, birds, cattle, plants and all other living things.
thats why i wont be cremated, but be left in the ground to rot - supply nutrients back to the land and hopefully feed some other animals at my willing expense.
now back to bickering over bono ect ect

tbh mate, as a species, human beings are the most deplorable of all animals imo. whilst the last century or so in "civilised" socities has seen a massive turn in general behaviour - and i wouldnt consider everyone worldwide as deplorable in actions btw!.

Africa is totally corrupt, I've seen it first hand
As for Geldof - not bad for someone who is broke
