Im not a wizard on this subject but as far as i can tell..
some countries need our help!
so imo We should help no matter what, even if its such long shot to completley wipe the dept, at least we can say we tried and keep trying...

*not trying to start another argument here*

:D

No matter how long we carry on helping these country's their still going to create debt upon them selve's. Their breeding all the time, creating even more debt. It isn't going to go away. Yes we can help but our own country needs sorting out nevermind these other countrys. Where is it all going? after the big cats get their share no money is hardly left.

1. learn to spell
2. stop being such a stuck up tard

Lol i made a simple typo, and thats enough for me to have to learn to spell. heres a lesson idiot, before you insult someone, read what you written and look back a bit, otherwise u make urself look like a hypocritical tit. Observe.

"when the fcuk so u see AFRICANS walking around with rifles???"

Disgraceful grammar, three question marks, the entire sentence is a grammatical nightmare. It makes no sense, even simple corrections couldnt fix it.

"ur just scared theres no money left for you!!"

Im not sure what to make of this, the obvious missing apostrophe in "there's" would have been a good start, except the word "there's" shouldn't be there anyway.

In the sentence, you tell someone "Your just scared" then go on to say "Theres no money left for you" but there is money left for him, so the sentence is wrong. The grammer is ****, and it again makes no sense, read it back and you'll realise you sound like a ****.

"they only need the money to get them started on a life u prick"

'Get them started on a life' so they're making a life? Or did you mean "get started in life" Either way, once again, you sound like a ****.

"its happening to persuade the G8 to do something about it cos they havent bothered so far"

This im quoting becuase ur obviously piss thick and this quote is entriely wrong. G8 have already wiped out a fair portion of debt that Africa owes, it wipes out a bit every year. Now i could be slightly mis-intepreted as im usure if G8 has done anythign as a collective organisation (although im sure it has) then the nations have acted as seperate entities.

dont u listen/read the meeting is to decide on wiping the debt which is why many people think a difference can be made this year/ this decade!

Wiping the debt completely would destroy global economy, its going to take time and dedication to fix it. its not going to happen this decade. Live8 is a help, but Bob geldof is a millionairre idiot who doesnt understand Global economy.

If your lucky, This Generation (Generatins are normally considered to be about a decade) will be noted as the one that kick-starts a giant campaign, or paves the way to clear the debt, or anythign along those lines. But the global economy is very fragile.

For people who are thinking well, why not dent the world economy to fix this solution, lets imagine it happens. First of we do have the problem that some African nations would love to declare war (governments of them anyway).

Second: Africa would need to generate money via trade, so exports start and money rolls in *insert grinding halt problem* - Goods cannot be exported anywhere beuase a ****ed up wold economy means that most countries darent buy the goods.

Third: Severly weak economies such as the South America's and Eastern Europe end up in economic ruin, to survive, they have to borrow money from other coutries, and are so desperate they agree to any terms imposed, which will be high intrest rates from failing countries who are desperately trying to stop their economies failing.

Africa comes out slightly better off, except they can, at best, generate small incomes via the failing trade channels.

A portion of countries get hit so hard Civil war erupts causing widespread panic, mayhem and killings.

Eastern Europe and South America replace Africa as poverty nations, and people like Geldof and his fan club are left looking like ******s, and realise they acheived nothing.

Live 8 is a statement, not a charity. Therefore it worked and is for a good cause.

anyone who opposes that is a racist or is scared others being as good as them.

Just the thought of you thinking to end the thread requires me to post.

Live 8 is a statement as van said, its there to let the leaders in the g8 meeting in scottland (forgot the date) know that the public and the famous think something needs to be done about africa, and it does.

I agree with atom, wiping debt would cripple everyone.

Aurons criteria theory is genious.

Yes we would all be crippled.

infact without poverty we would need 7 extra planets to survive the way we do.

but live 8 raised awareness and made a statement for a good cause, so you cant hate it for that

To be fair it wasnt exactly all free. Some people probably spent tons on there mobiles to get tickets for the show. I know they had to pay for Hyde park as it was already booked but still...a lot of money had to have been made in that alone.


Also i read on the net earlier that if you wanted to be near the railings (?) people were being asked to pay £750 each and they was moaning as it was meant to be free.

This is the post it was on the sky news site. If they didnt want money they got a lot from this obviously.

Hi I'm just back from Live 8 and it was the best thing I have ever been to in my life! The only thing that really annoyed me was the Barrier at the front the only way to get in was if you paid up to £750 extra which was ironic as it was stated that Live 8 wasn't about getting money.

So you're saying it's right to say it's not about money with your mouth, give away tickets in one hand, and then take money in the other?

The hypocrisy is thick enough to chew....

No, they imposed nothing. It was all choice. Donations are always gonna be welcome

and where does it say anything about not getting anything in return?

And you are drifting away from the main point, that nothing was imposed. People volenteered

Giving someone a free gift can easily result in getting something in return. Even if its something as simple as gratitude
