Live 8
Menzallol:
I really wish I had the Japanese skills to explain to my teacher that all of this fund raising and external help is not advancing the situation at all. My "major" at Japanese high school is International Communication, so basically all we do is visit websites like Live 8, and watch videos about how terrible the economic and social conditions are in Africa. I completely understand the point that Live 8 is people doing what they think is right. What I don't support is our teacher yelling at us every day when we don't listen, droning on and on about or responsibility to the world, and how we should be doing research on donating funds to these causes. He's a moron, and if he thinks any of us or the paltry organizations he promotes are going to help the situation in Africa, he's wrong.

KharBevNor:
But the thing is, surely if his 'paltry organisations' do what...dig one well, save one child, give tools to one farmer...
...isn't that better than him just sitting on his ass?
Menzallol:
I'm sure he's making himself feel better about it all, but with his preaching to us about ending the whole situation, he should probably be a little more interested in telling us that pouring foreign aid into the countries won't work. Other than the afformentioned well digging, etc. . But hey, if it lets him sleep at night...
Condition Oakland:
I thought I would check it out, so I turned on the TV and saw Kanye West.
That pretty much ruined my interest in the whole thing.
Rune:
Kanye West sucked. I was at the Philly show, close enough to see the stage if I really tried (but it was easier to look at the screen on the right). Bon Jovi was good, and Kaiser Chiefs were good, but I wasn't particularly thrilled with the rest.
I did however see someone pass by the right fountain where I was in a QC shirt! Music + Science = Sexy. I wanted to go say hello but I didn't have the opportunity. It was later in the set, maybe a little before or after Sarah McLaughlin was on. So whoever that was, hi!
