these people are annoying
'YoU ARe NOT A ReAL U2 fan!!! You DOn't THink BoNO is All POWerful and FLawless!'
give me a break. Jick said nothing to imply that he isn't a U2 fan. I love u2 to death and I think that in light of his competition Bono did not deserve it....and I'm doubtful he'll ever win
AND I'M A REAL FAN
LivLuvAndBootlegMusic said:Jick....if Bono's motivation for his activism is strictly egotistical, I'd like proof, OK? And don't ignore this one. We all want to know. You say this every time, so let's see the proof.
Also, in your opinion, who is an example of someone who has improved the human race for not an egotistical reason?
U2girl said:How do you figure U2 needs any boosts in popularity?
(and how exactly would Bono's activism help there? There's some people who say "I don't like U2" just because of Bono's activism AFAIK, and also some who plainly say "I don't like Bono period, hence I don't care about U2 either")
I try to remember who said, 'we are not born to suffer'. I can't remember. Wrathfully, with the end of a spoon I try to engrave on the cement wall of the cell, 'we are born to suffer because we are born in the third world - space and time are imposed on us. Therefore, there is nothing to do except to stay patient.'

verte76 said:Jick.........the subject of my UFO stories ..................U2 doesn't need a damn Nobel Peace Prize to boost their careers. The worth of the new album, the last album, the last tour, has got nothing to do with Bono's activism. The album will be judged on its merit, just like all of their albums are. Nobody buys U2 albums in judgment of Bono's activism.
Basstrap said:I don't think anyone implied bono did it for egotistical reasons. I think he just said bono has a big ego and that makes him a less likely canidate
I think his heart is in the right spot, and he is doing more than 99% of all celebrities to ease the pain of others. However, there are many more people who deserve this award more

jick said:said many many times in my past posts that Bono's saving the world actions are very good - for the exposure of U2, for the publicity, for the dying children and for massaging Bono's ego.

THIS Jick. You are OBSESSED with Bono and his fucking ego! It's sick! All you care about is the "new album" the "new album"!!! If Bono would quit U2 tomorrow and devote all of his waking time to trying to get through to people like you, I would NEVER utter a single word of complaint. What is your sick fascination with his ego anyway? Are you trying to be Sigmund Freud or something?
And if you're so into Jesus Christ, than why do you twist His words into saying negative things about Bono?
Not to mention the fact that you still have NO PROOF for anything you say.

I got hooked to U2 because of their music, not because of their activisim.
you keep feeding the fire!jick said:Moderators, please close this thread. It has veered too far off-topic. It has become a personal attack thread. Or at least delete all unrelated posts to this thread. I am not washing my hands, I have also been quilty contributing by "biting the bait" of people calling to me to respond to their nonsense. My apologies.
