Obviously I have replied to several posts in this thread as is flaming obvious. But Im not responding to something youve copy/pasted from elsewhere out of pure laziness. Theyre not even your words so why you think I need to reply to them Im not quite sure. You're not debating by stealing other peoples words.

And the example I gave of a donation was a specific one which was clearly done as part of promoting their tour and Live8. It was correcting a big untruth that was posted. Lets stick to facts here.

I have addressed both the tax issues and his charitable donations. You need to wake up and realise that they are actually very interlinked; charity begins at home and the millions that he is denying the Irish goverment could be spent on new schools, new parks, new roads etc etc Ireland is not a rich country and he should be proud to pay his due taxes...if he's the caring saint he parades himself as. If if if...

Obviously you still fail to see the blatant contradictions in how he conducts himself so Im not gonna waste too much time on you.

Besides all that, he should bloody stick to his job. Nobody elected him to be a politician and he really has no place next to elected world leaders. He's just an absolute egomaniac. Because being a huge rockstar isnt enough, right?

Bottom line; he talks the talk but doesnt walk the walk. Nobody needs to hear some megarich tax evader preaching about poverty or charity. NOBODY.
