Dosent make much difference at all except feed the ego's of some old rock stars. They should do something about the cause of the problem. Corrupt governments and dictators. That would be something truely worth supporting.

Why dont they all just give them some of their own money! it's people like you that give them the money and they take the credit. People have known about the problem for decades how come it takes a concert to make them start giving, if your just watching the show for the sake of the music as stated by some, the whole idea is flawed.

Sorry but you have no idea what this concert is about,
Fact, they are not asking for money, they are asking for peolple to be aware of what is happening, the reason it is on now is because the G8 summit is on in Edinburgh this week, they staged the concert so the members of G8 can see that people would like thenm to do something about the problems in Africa.
Again they are not asking for money, they are asking for change and I am afraid it is only because they are musicians that they can get so many people in a certain number of locations so that they can show the members on G8 that they are not happy with what they are doing.

i think u will find that the people who go to the show are there for the music. otherwise there would be no show as it wouldnt be needed.
it is bringing ideas and being recognised by the united nations. im aware these ideas arent new. but hey it might further their careers and fame but at least they are doing something.

So you think people didnt know about the problem already! And that this concert is going to enlighten the world about something that has gone on for decades! I find that hard to believe.

And what are the G8 leaders supposed to do, exactly?
Africa is a wasteland of corrupt governments and overpopulation.
Now that kiddies, may be a hint.
In a land devoid of food, the locals have no problem bringing into the world yet more
babies who in all seriousness have a good chance of starving to death.
The people have just enough energy in order to breed and make the problem bigger.
Add to that some of their beliefs and there really is no way of helping them.
Populate or perish huh? Seems like it's all arse about to me.

better to be trying to do something than doing nothing at all..

this is not a quick fix nothing this big is it takes time.
too say live aid did nothing is ignorant at the best, to say live 8 will do nothing is again ignorant at the best,its not about money its about freeing up governments from debt so as to rebuild infrastructure not today not tomorrow but in the future.
yes a lot of corrupt governments in third world countries as in first world countries.
as for musicians bettering their careers give it a break example pink floyd have not spoke to each other let alone performed for years but for this they put aside their differences not for money or fame but for something that could make a difference.
the girl that was introduced by bob saved from starvation to go on to uni & pass is that not a good thing or maybe the ppl that are saved from starvation go on to a career in politics from for example ethiopia
& in twenty years from now totally change the infrastracture of that country for the better of the ppl & wipe out corruption within is that not a possibility yes it is a possibility.
to the ignorant that say this is a waste of time what truely is a waste of time is your argument & lack of humanituriam, it would have been easier to register your vote as did many millions than to be negative about it.

If you dont think that staging a rock concert helps in any way, then you have to be an ostrich with your head in the sand. It has obviously worked. People saw footage, people were made aware of the problems, people were made to start talking about the issues. The more people talk, the closer it is to change. So many things have happened due to public pressure, the end to Vietnam war, collapse of berlin wall, collapse of soviet empire, end of apartheid (possibly). Nothing changes without ordinary public people speaking out. Sure people went to listen to the music, but it has changed the world none the less.
G8 nations have cancelled debt for 18 countries. If we could redirect some of the money spent blowing the world to bits to rebuilding the world, then it would make an incredible difference.
With regard to the breeeding thing... half the women are probably raped, the other half cant afford food, they arent going to buy condoms. It happens here in the so called lucky country so its bound to happen there.

I might add that western companies are also major sponsors of the African dictators. One in particular is Shell. And Shell pays taxes to the white "democracies".

Hey, man! While some "people" might think that you're an ignorant cretin, you're analysis is absolutely right!!!
Those "BLACK" countries do have some problems that others don't and never did. That problem has generally been European colonists (English, French, Belgian, Portugeuse...) with advanced weaponry, an agenda of greed at ANY cost, and a complete attitude of egotistical superiority (particularly but not exclusively in the cases of capitalism and religion).
Most of THOSE BLACK countries have been raped and thieved by generally WHITE cultures, either sucked dry, or puppet stringed to this day by multinationals still carrying on the practice. This is leading us into a world monoculture, an ever widening divide between the rich and poor, the overconsumption of world resources, climate change/disaster and other "FUN" things like that.
Live 8 is about informing the largely ignorant world about the evil "have's", who control the media and do their best to keep the masses stupid so that they can get richer faster. I've travelled extensively, and seen it first hand. Particularly in the United States of America. Hitler was good at manipulating his flock, but it comes nowhere near what the US Admin is capable of. Australia is close on their heels though, as evidenced by the posts you've supplied. Good on ya Johnny!
Keep dumbing down that population Dude!
But hey, maybe these aren't the points you're pushing, and you really are a cretin?
amazer ·
I guess we have a differnt idea of poverty. No, there probably arent too many emaciated people living in Australia. But there is certainly a lot of them who's lives could be lifted a lot by $100 here and there. But to do that, we would have to disband some of the useless committees that our governments set up. Beazleys mate wouldnt be going on a world tour as thanks for his part in the Latham coup detat.
Some middle eastern, asian countries, south american countries are also repressed and or poverty stricken. For example, have you seen the poor people in India washing their clothes in the Ganges while dead animals and shit float past? Tell me how a Chinese villager gets more money from the factories they work in? Thailand.. Balinese... I can hardly see any of those ordinary people going on an overseas trip soon.
not all australians get the same opportunities. The more money your parents have the better education you can get. Its hard to get anywhere in life without education. Not everyone is at the same level of intelligence so they cant do anything with the education they are provided with. Some kids dont get the support for learning from their parents as others. Aside from school learnings where are kids toaught morals. There's alot of factors behind your ability to succeed in life. Lets just say that we are all geniuses and have doctorates. There arent that many brain surgeon positions available. Some people are bound to be ordinary.
Ordinary people are ordinary...average. My definition of ordinary is someone who doesnt own a dozen houses, or sit on the board of 6 different companies, etc. These people when they make the wrong decision dont need bailing out. They hide behind corporations law and go to work building up another company. Or they sit in parliament for 10 years knowing they will get a lifetime pension, car and other perks.
I had the misfortune of a short association with centrelink. My payment was $314/fortnight. You cannot rent a flat here for less than $100/week. Can you live on $114/fortnight? Thats pretty ordinary, and I was one of the luckier ones. I worked 14 years and couldnt get any of my pension because I am ordinary.
Shell (and I think Mobil) is getting billions of dollars worth of cheap oil from African and South American countries, in return for the money going to corrupt politicians instead of the country. That is sponsorship. Same as welfare cheats are being sponsored by Canberra. Its not right, you want it stopped. You would stop it if you had the power to. Shell has the power.
I've written and re written answers to your specific questions but it is too long winded and political. To explain all my views would need to go off on many tangents and would fill a book. Besides I wont change your mind, as I'm pretty sure you are in it for the aggro.

I wouldn't say that Man. I just think it is a process of education that takes a lot of time, usually decades. When I started High school in 1983, I was an "idiot" for not smoking. By the time I hit grade 12, The smoker's were the idiots. Now smoking is banned to within 4 metres of shops. As the Son of a Father who died of cancer.

If everyone get's on the case of the World Bank, and all the old boy's running our countries, eventually things may happen. There is really no excuse for apathy. Apathy is the tool of these people. Think about that when you crawl back to your chair in front of the tube and X-Box, preparing to fill your already obese body with nutritionally deficient carcinogens loosly termed "food" by some people.

Political correctness is a "label" which like any other label can be used and percieved both positively or negatively. Each "ISSUE" however, should be examined and debated rationally regardless of left, right or middle political tendencies.
There are some pretty heavy undercurrents, not really even "hidden" between the lines in your responses that are just plain "stupid" and extremely uninformed. But hey, that's just my opinion. Perhaps you're just not terribly good at making a point?
The point I was trying to make about "BLACK" countries can be read above. It's also true of many other colours, creeds and nations (South America, Asia, Oceania). Either used, abused and left to rot by colonists and multinationals, or still worth further immoral plundering.
Anyway, it's a great show of ego that the points you responded mostly to were sillly, superficial comments about the nature of your brainspace, and not the issues at hand. Something to ponder. It's just supporting the aggro theory unfortunately mate. Again, though, just MY opinion. And please let's not forget this is a Dub forum, and not White Power Australia?!? WTF?

Yes well I read all of the above drivell (in my opinion as U would say) and it (to me) it is the same chip on the shoulder leftist/socialist white guilt ridden crap that was even spewed out by the "higher ground" marxists who's ideologies have also not produced one "successful free society" that comes close to what a democratic capitalistic system achieves for its citizens.
Anyway, it's a great show of ego that the points you responded mostly to were sillly, superficial comments about the nature of your brainspace,
Talking of "EGO"...seems to me your the one that cant have a discussion/debate without trying to elevate YOUR ego by attempts at personal denegration....instead of U sticking to the issues under discussion.....you keep trying to shoot the messenger because U dont like the message.
and not the issues at hand. Something to ponder.
It's just supporting the aggro theory unfortunately mate.
That wasn't even your theory but U once again decided to go for the personal denegration act.
Again, though, just MY opinion.

Let them all breed together and live underground like the morlocks! I hear Pauline Hanson is single at the moment. Might be in with a chance mate? Please no eating of us beautiful people though!nn[ Edited on 5-7-2005 by vwombat ]
After having shown the above to a group of people for their opinion......the democratic consensus was that it was written by a "CLOSED MINDED, OPINIONATED SELF-RIGHTEOUS EGOTIST WHO BELEIVED HE HAD ALL THE ANSWERS INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO CENSOR OPINION AND WAS TOTALLY IGNORANT OF HIS IGNORANCE."
Thats what they said......and well if I gave U my personal opinion on U....then I would have to be like U and shoot the messenger.

Whatever you reckon Man! You cant really personally bait me, so don't waste your time.
BTW - The personal attacks were not actually the priority of my posts, but the issues themselves. That's why I tried to clarify that the "attacks" were superficial. You don't know me, so you cant be expected to understand this. In that regard, yes, perhaps I was poor at making my point. The attacks obviously became your focus, so it killed the debate somewhat. The people here who know me would've just taken that other stuff with a grain of salt and continued the conversation. I am somewhat eccentric after all.
This was historically usually achieved through tricks and manipulation, or they were aggressively forced to comply. In my opinion, that implies that they didn't f**k it up, but had it f*cked up for them.
To then expect these cultures to pick up the pieces without having the tools and expertise to do so is ludicrous. Without having a natural historical development to a capitalist structure, of course these countries are behind the "G8" ball.
The Western world has set the world agenda, and it is just not sustainable on a global scale. Many of these cultures engaged in self sustaining permaculture, and were successful diverse, societal models. Maybe the following will help you to better understand:
Starfleet General Order 1: The Prime Directive
As the right of each sentient species to live in accordance with its normal cultural evolution is considered sacred, no Starfleet personnel may interfere with the normal and healthy development of alien life and culture. Such interference includes introducing superior knowledge, strength, or technology to a world whose society is incapable of handling such advantages wisely. Starfleet personnel may not violate this Prime Directive, even to save their lives and/or their ship, unless they are acting to right an earlier violation or an accidental contamination of said culture. This directive takes precedence over any and all other considerations, and carries with it the highest moral obligation.
Colonialists not only stomped all over these moral concepts, but murdered and stole for self gain.
Now, if that doesn't help, nothing will. Thanks Mr Rodenberry!

No, I cant get over the fact that many indigenous cultures have had the foundation of their societal beliefs and social structures completely destroyed, and replaced with a self serving capitalist colonialist monoculture.You still can't get past the FACT that the BLACK countries have F****D it up like nobody else !

Now I will show my ignorance....wtf is Mr Rodenberry??vwombat wrote:Whatever you reckon Man! You cant really personally bait me, so don't waste your time.
What is obvious is that U cut the cloth to suit yourself and change tack or ignore what is placed infront of U as suits U or bring on red herrings to go off on another tangent and when U are confronted with this U dont want to aknowledge all of the above...eg U claim U are open minded yet U dont want the young ones as U put it being exposed to any other opinions bar yours.....close the door light the light we are staying home tonite...to bad nobody is home
BTW - The personal attacks were not actually the priority of my posts, SO why make them in the first place unless as I state again....If U dont like the msg Shoot the messenger!
but the issues themselves. That's why I tried to clarify that the "attacks" were superficial. You don't know me, so you cant be expected to understand this.
No I dont know U and I didnt attack U personally..I only questioned and attacked your opinions/arguments but U took it upon yourself to "profile" me without knowing me and go into the personal attacks instead of sticking to attacking my opinions/arguments
In that regard, yes, perhaps I was poor at making my point. The attacks obviously became your focus, so it killed the debate somewhat. The people here who know me would've just taken that other stuff with a grain of salt and continued the conversation.

So is that supposed to give U Leeway and make U a sacred cow??

Ahhhh science fiction.....maybe we do have a common interest .......but not neccessarily a common aggreeance...
.....So lets venture down that path for a para sec.....but lets not forget it is science FICTION and we live in the real and now and unless U are the timelord Dr Who ...who could alter the course of history but is also bound by his code of CAN but no will do.
In our world and its history of SOCIAL evolution our changes (note I have not said PROGRESS) have always been one of hostility,disposition, dispossession and basically altered states of social, political and enviromental conditions with Loosers and fall out occuring during these transitions.
That appears to be the way of mankind and as Russell Morris sang in "Rachel's Coming Home" along the lines of NO MAN BLACK OR WHITE CAN CHANGE IT.....hey we are all only in transit..
Now, if that doesn't help, nothing will. Thanks Mr Rodenberry!
PS> personally I prefer Hubbard & Heinlein as they have more soul & depth than Startrek (and less bullshit).....as for the pics U cant go past Bladerunner or Blakes 7 and if U want to talk eco systems and enviro/social/religious integration...there is always Dune.
But hey as U would put your recent disclaimer..thats only my opinion.
