At least Bob Geldof gets off his butt and does something instead of mouthing off behind a computer,his intentions are honourable,who cares what cause or country they are helping,that fact they are helping is a good thing surely.

You make the assumption that I haven't contributed thousands to various charities both personally and through fundraising (which I have) and also that I don't happily "mouth off" about things like this even when not behind a computer (which, rest assured, I do).

You have also managed to completely ignore the entire part where I said that it is entirely my belief (and the belief of many others) that overall he does NOT help. He guides them one step forward whilst kicking them two steps back. He helps one person today at the expense of ten more tomorrow. If you don't believe that, that's fine, but you're arguing against a point that I've never made. You're right, his motivations wouldn't matter if the net result was positive. I don't believe it is.
