Oh. Well, at least I can vaguely remember hearing of them. :D

how dare he try to help africa.

It was simple question, asked and answered.

Get over yourself.

it's easy for the rich to be noble in their causes.
I have no pity on their cause. Send Africa a few million $$ worth of viagra and speed up the problem curing itself process.

DILGAF.
Let these millionare rockstars buck up. What else have they done for the world.

Can someone explain this mentality to me. Why are people from your won country more important?

Because the order of "I give a $#it" starts with people in my own country first.

Amazing how quick poverty, war, and racism would end if everyone picked up the dog turds in their own back yard before peeking over the fence and complaining about the neighbors...

I understand what your saying, but doesn't the fact that some people in africa are 10x worse off than anyone in the US make a difference?

No.

If someone in your family has cancer do you feel worse when someone in my family dies?...

You can worry about others as much as you want, but if you're not healthy yourself, you'll never be able to do as much for them as you could be if you were.

And, frankly, a lot of our "good will" is politically motivated. There's not a whole lot of genuine philanthropy, and I think we could stand to pull our dirty little fingers out of a few places.

Good point, but the difference is I probably have a much closer relationship with the person in my family than I do with the person in yours. You probably don't have any relationship with people in africa and you may have just as little relationship with the poorest people in the US.

You're right, but it still helps.

I have a hard time sending money to people that are too stupid to stop ****ing to save themselves.
