Niamh, sorry, I meant earlier to say thanks. I hope that's not true, but if it is, I still think (hope) that my arguments stand. I mean, I'm not perfect - who is? We've all done absolutely stupid and unpleasant things to other people in our lives, to varying degrees of awfulness, but it doesn't and shouldn't negate the worth anything that we have done, could do or might do that's brilliant, inspired and worthwhile. If the negatives are awful, the positives don't count. Anyone who in any way harms a child, murders or rapes is beyond redemption. But beyond that, shouldn't we argue that you take the bad with the good and applaud anyone who makes us think or act in a better way? I think we should.

Patsylimerick and Livia altered my thinking back too Niamh. My first feeling was he wasn't a hypocrite,I should have stuck with that.

Bono is a good person. He's saved millions of lives.

How many lives have you saved?

I suggest he has been part of a movement that has killed millions of people. Especially the poorest in third world countries.
And contributed to a lot of human suffering and poverty among those same peoples.

I wouldn't mind so much if you could have a reasonable discussion, but you can't.

I have no doubt that we are unable to have a reasonable discussion and that, to you, in your mind, you are convinced it seems 'unreasonable'.
No doubt whatsoever.

I feel that you purposefully choose my posts to ridicule and I'm asking you to stop.

No you don't. You don't feel that way. You wrote that for the purpose of building a 'story' or 'case' which you will hope will eventually get me banned from TiBB.

Instead of building a fake case to manipulate censorship why don't you use the block function as you promised.

With respect, that must be the singularly most nonsensical sentence I've ever read on here. Would you care to explain how?

Yes. Well actually Lord Monckton can explain how the Global Warming Scare and its 'solutions' as frequently promoted by Bono ultimately starve millions to death on this planet:

Of course, there is more details to be found. Films like 'not evil just wrong' and some others have documented just how exactly the Global Warming Swindle keeps the poorest people on Earth in poverty.

You bet - Bono has done a great deal to promote a false movement that ultimately killed a helluva lot of poor people. Starvation.. a horrific way to die as well.

Christopher Monckton is relatively bearable - compared to some of the absolute nut-job cospiracy theorists he associates with. His credibility was pretty much shot, however, when he sank to likening his political opponents to Hitler. I've a very open mind on the global warming debate; I don't necessarily think the human contribution to emissions is as significant as some global warming doomsayers contend. However, it is certainly true that we need to think more about the rate at which we are running out of traditional fuel options and examine the alternatives available to us - alternatives which would at least improve our living environment in terms of air, water and soil pollution. I would like to see a much greater debate on the issue. There is an unhealthy aversion to questioning the received wisdom of the loudest representatives of the scientific community.

The funny thing is, Bono advocates debate and discussion. He's forever encouraging people to arm themselves with information and to make informed decisions.

Most importantly, however, while Bono has spoken about global warming, his platform is tackling global poverty; rooting out governmental corruption and tackling our insane systems of global money lending. That saves lives - it doesn't cost them - and potentially millions of them.

I can go on television tomorrow and 'tell you' its time to help the poor and say how I'm taking a stand against it. Then appear places looking concerned and 'damning those who cause this'....

Quite. Its obvious he's driven to do it for his own ego. Self appointed saint Bono.

Exactly. Saint Bono who avoids paying millions in taxes. Not so saintly after all.

It doesn't really matter if he's doing it to try and develop a wart on his knob. HE'S DOING IT.

There are millions of people worldwide slogging their asses off day in, day out for the good of others. Missionaries et al. Theyre the true saints DOING IT for no self interest whatsoever. And they don't have a pot to piss in.

Save your praise for those not some mega rich popstar.

No they are not doing it "for no self interest whatsoever". Everyone has an ego. Everyone gains as they give; that's how we're programmed and thank God it is. Self-interest is a vital component of being human. It's a matter of scale. And Bono happens to be at the other end of the scale in terms of fame - and in terms of criticism; and even arguably in terms of ego. So what? Everything's relative. He does more than his fair share and he's a lazy, easy target for criticism the progeny of which completely baffles me.
