I got this off a website, it's by an anonymous writer\n\nI'd first like to point out that the entire band has made many contributions to charity, and those who said not obviously need to do their research before bashing someone simply because they are well-off. From LiveAid to Comic Relief to the Sarajevo concert, and many others, they have been generous with their time in support of causes they believe in. They have also been generous with the cold, hard cash, with all the proceeds from the Passengers album/project going to the War Child foundation and all proceeds from the One single going to an AIDS charity (I can't for the life of me remember the name). Bono recently did some sort of auction to benefit a hospice center in Dublin. And to say they don't care about Ireland is crazy. They were the ones who were so passionate about telling the world about the crisis when no one seemed to care. Didn't they make peace cool again with "Sunday Bloody Sunday?" They were large advocators of the Good Friday agreement, and their lyrics have long been a cry for some sort of peace. The way they touched Irish through their lyrics, on both sides of the fence, seems enough to me, but they've always done more. Of course Bono has two big houses. So what? If I had that much money, I wouldn't be living in this apartment. Do you really think the difference between the cost of his house and the cost of a rundown apartment would make the tiniest difference in Africa? Of course not.\n\nAnd that is where the difference lies between their "pet causes," where their own money and proceeds is enough to realistically change something, and the "emergencies" like the AIDS crisis, where their influence on their fans and the publicity and controversy they can attempt to draw to the issue are infinitely more powerful than any measely check they could write. The AIDS crisis doesn't need millions, it needs billions. It doesn't need rock stars' money, it needs the money of the wealthiest nations of the world. It doesn't need tiny charity donations, it needs major changes in legislation so Africans can get the drugs WE KNOW HOW TO MAKE. So U2, well mostly Bono, he's trying to do his part by using his fame to a good cause. May I quote: "Celebrity is ridiculous, really, but it's also currency. Spend it wisely. I think I'm on the outer limits of people's tolerance." He isn't the only founder of DATA, he's not drafting legislation to Congress; his role, his piece in the puzzle is raising publicity and doing photo ops with dumbass politicians---for a price. And in that respect he's doing a damn fine job.\n\nBut there's more. Even MORE important than his handshaking with the neocons is the small army of activists he's recruiting. U2 fans as well as casual fans, can take the message where he left off and really can make a difference. I've got a group of friends, U2-fans and non-fans alike who've sponsored the education of children in Africa, largely because of U2's influence and attention to the issue, no emergency. "I can't save the world, I know that. But WE can." It may sound idealist, but cynicism hasn't solved any Holocaust-like pandemics, last time I checked. And unlike the hippies, their organization is making serious proposals to Congress, as well as giving out Action Kits to the Average Joe on what AJ can do to do his part. So the people who spend hours on the internet cussing him/them out and wanting the specific numbers on just how much he donated to charity over income, etc. are missing the point greatly. And they're surely not doing THEIR part in this fight. If we had $1,000,000 to Africa for everytime I've seen Bono called a, well, a variety of hateful things, then we wouldn't need to worry about a thing! Too bad it doesn't work that way.\n\nI just find it terribly sad that, in this culture, w

There is a lot of scam going on with people making themselves out to be refugees. In one case, a couple sold the home that a charity had bought for their family and spent the money foolishly and there are other tales worse than that.\n\nSo, I applaud your willingness to evaluate the projects you give to. The Better Business Bureau evaluates national charities and reports if they have scammed people. This is their site, called Wise Giving Alliance:\nhttp://www.give.org/reports/index.asp\n\ns

Hey if they go and meet these children then they deserve the same treatment as pedophiles.  There really is no difference - same intentions\nI don't think these people should get any different treatment than any other pervert or abductor.

Yes, as a matter of fact I have.I was 17 years old at the time and the experience still give me nightmares.However psyhciatric wards are not as bad as they are often made out. The staff was really friendly and helpful and held on to  hope for me when I couldn't myself. They saved my life and I am eternally grateful to them. THe nightmares are of the seclusion room...but I won't go into that.

I thought I would crash this party anyways. I LIKE THEM. Even if I don't believe all. They harm no one just talk God to their neighborhoods. I wish many today would do helpful nice things instead of what is happing now. Gangs, drugs, racism, crime raising at unbelievable heights.

have known about them since they released A Little Time and were on Top of the Pops with it and I thought they looked all cool cuz they wore these leather jackets and the girl was ginger like me, so I liked them from that (I was 6!)\n\nbut they are quite good - prefer the older stuff in general though :)

I came from that background and my dad was a preacher in that type of faith. Since I'm sure you will get some negatives here, let me give a counterpoint.\n\nI believe that they are well-intentioned for the most part. They are following what they believe. However, they often don't realize the harm they are ultimately doing by some of their tactics.\n\nFor instance, I had a youth group leader that reminded me of the old Saturday Night Church lady sketch by Dana Garvey. She lambasted our youth group because we were not following her rules. As an adult and a parent of teens, I realize that her goal was to turn us around spiritually. But her methods left a lot to be desired. The turning around that resulted was that most of the teens stopped attending church. And I fought my parents the rest of the time they were there to let me leave that church.\n\nBut I've seen some good things lately in the evangelical churches. A lot of them are realizing that they have to show the actions of Christ, not just preach. They are getting more involved in community projects, such as feeding the homeless, and offering support to people in crisis, instead of just praying and reading scriptures. They are also learning to be a lot less judgmental. They have a long way to go, but they are slowly learning.

Hmm....I wonder why they are so desperate for money........why they haven't fuond contentment in all the things they could be doing as a young person...I wonder if they have an addiction and are trying to get money for drugs...I feel like they wear their desperation and are missing out on the truly good and satisfying things.

Never heard of a major movement of teens joining cults before. You might want to check out http://www.rickross.com/ . This guy is the Cult expert.

I have met several people who left them.  They were founded by Victor Paul Wierwille who wrote the book WHY JESUS IS NOT GOD. Based on that I would find it hard to believe that they might be teaching any sort of 'god reincarnate' sort of thing.  Victor died years ago.\n\nChristians consider them to be a cult based on their non-divine view of Jesus.

I beleive in it. Some people are really Mentally unstable, However there are people who play the system. I have a friend who acts like she is Bi polar and she is not. Ive know her for years and she was on Welfare for years. Well her kids are older so Welfare told her she had to get a job and she is lazy and really ds not have job skills. She acted like she was having suicidal thoughts. Its all a scam. Well, Long story short she got it. She now gets disability wich is alot more than welfare was giving her and gets disability for 2 of the kids. She made them get tested for ADD or something like that. Its ridiculous. They put those kids on meds and they dont need it. She is playing the system.
