If they would have actually just charged €2,- for every ticket. Asked the preformers to give 1% of their years salery and would have sold the rights to show the concert they would have actually made a difference.
Right now people pay attention mostly becuase of the artist, and in a few months time most of them won't even remember where Africa is.
This whole thing isnt happening just to provide money for them.
8 world leaders, gathered in Scotland for the G8 summit, will be presented with a workable plan to double aid, drop the debt and make the trade laws fair. If these 8 men agree, then we will become the generation that made poverty history.
But they'll only do it if enough people tell them to.
They're trying to get the 8 leaders to change the current laws. This isnt going to end poverty straight away, only start to try and end it.

Err well, but why the hell would we want to?......I don't see any reason.....except you want to become "the generation that made poverty history".....well if that is your selfish goal I guess you got a point, excêpt for that......really who cares.
Bardock, you're talking on behalf of yourself and arent seeing my point. I know, i will be a part of the generation to actually help Africa. i have been there myself and it was a big hit on the head to see people actually living like this. The reason i want to help is because no one deserves to live like that. We are all equal. I mean, what makes me any better than a person living on the streets over there?
I know i wont be helping very much but through other charities and sponsoring, i'm doing my part. And i want to, not out of self satisfaction. Because of the fact that i DO care about other people.

No one cares aboot others, not honestly at least, all you do you do for selfish reasons, you just do it to feel better, not out of compassion....don't mistake it for that....yes you feel bad, probably because you were raised to think that you have to feel bad if there are others that live in "worse" conditions than you....if you want to help then...sure thing do it but don't think you are any better than anyone else because you do....

Hey man, i'm not saying i am better than anyone else for helping, i said that before. It might be hard to believe, but people do GENUINELY care about others. And again you're presuming you know what i'm about, you dont. I dont know you and you dont know me.

Doesn't change Human nature...you don't do it cause you "care" you can't tell me that...no one does anything just for others...no one....not even the Dalai Lhama, the Pope, Ghandi....whoever......its just not the Huiman nature to do so........
So you're saying there is no such thing as being genuinely caring?
Again, I dont know you and you dont know me. So to talk on behalf of everybody in this world and say no one cares, is naive.
