A partial solution to world hunger?

[riff]

Most of you will probably think this a stupid theory but here it goes anyway.

The 100 richest people on the planet donate £10million or a similar figureto be spread amongst people who need it. I know its not their problem that people are suffering and its not their obligation to give to charity. But come on, would they even notice that money go out of their accounts? I doubt it. I'm not posting this as a realistic solution, I know it will never happen as most of the world doesn't care.

This is all in light of Band Aid 2004, which was recorded on Sunday http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainmen ... 957637.stm The way we take stuff in life for granted is sickening. While I'm cursing my luck because there's no weed about, there are millions of people cursing their luck because there is no food or water about. A quote from Bono made me laugh though, "the only way I can help is by making music". I know my attitude may sound naive (I even have doubts) but he could easily afford to donate and make a difference. Don't get me wrong, its great that he even cares about this cause let alone support it so actively. God bless you Bono

Does anyone see my point? Its not their duty to do this, but it could be done with a few scarifices and make such a huge difference.

I like the idea, but let's face it, it won't happen. Those fat cats don't give a damn about the Third World, all they care about is adding more money to their bank accounts.

Money makes the world go 'round.

Lets go back to bartering like the old world. I can barter all the weed if need be. haha

haha humans are so fucked! god i hate this species!

I wonder why we arent doing anything about our problems, we hear about all these urgent problems aka polution, starvation, and such, but think how low humans have become when we'd rather open up THOUSANDS of chain restaurants, when we could be using that food to SAVE LIVES??! Blahhhhh im so glad i live in the boonies.

Bono is a dick, that Band Aid shit is nothing but a publicity stunt, I mean, those assholes are bickering about who gets to sing what.

If Bin Laden plans an attack on Band Aid, he has my blessing.

You must be crazy! We'd lose Bono, Robbie Williams, Will Young and The Darkness to name a few. Ok, maybe they got my blessing too aslong as Chris martin and Bob Geldof aren't killed. They're both cool. It is pathetic how they were arguing about that line, which isn't a great line anyway.

Have u actually heard their Pathetic excuse for a song, i could have gathered a group of school kids and recorded a song ten times better then what they have produced. It actually sounds like howling cats at one point.

Hi. I'm Laura, I'm from Ca-Na-Da. Who the fuck is Will Young?

[Funk Doctor]

The guy who won the British Idols competition.

Nuke the bastard.

[layabout guy]

And he has a big chin

They should have wrote a new song if they insist on making one at all. I mean, how impressive can a cover track be? I heard about a minute of it in Virgin Megastores, didn't sound like anything special.

Which came first the British Idols or the Amercian Idols either way I look up to none of them. There music all sucks.

I'm pretty sure the British version was first *hangs head in shame*
