Bono:

 

comments anybody?

[firestorm701]

im confused as to what you want here

 

 

but since Bono is involved, i pick him

 

unless this is a 'who do you not like better topic'

 

then i'm just confused

[Dan #1]

haha sorry, I didn't mean to compare their work. Just compare how they look in these pictures. I think Matt wins the hardkore look award though. Although Bono is still cool.

[battlecry forever!]

they look nothing alike, and i've never really cared for bono.

[pearanoid]

You've never cared for Bono?

 

But he's so weird and funny and such a rock star without being an idiot (most of the time).

 

And aside from the picture, it's an interesting comparison becuase they're both quite involved in world issues. I don't know any other rockstar that gets invitied to UN meetings and the like with as much frequency as Bono.

[Mouko]

There's a distinct difference between going to UN meetings and actually doing something useful.

[Matt]

Bono does something useful, going to the U.N. to talk about his concerns. Bono talks to world leaders, he tries to press for change even. The U.N. has representatives from most of the countries in the world. He even went with a member of the U.S. government to Africa to see what needed to be done, first hand.

At least he's trying to do something. And he uses his celebrity to talk about important issues to the masses. And people listen to celebrities, like it or not. He could just be getting drunk in his spare time, so I'd say he's doing something.

[guitarchick]

I think it's just the glasses.

[Dookas27018]

kill yourself

[Crusader]

They don't look like each other. No resemblance at all.

[THE MAN]

Bono will always be cooler

[no yu begin wher i end]

How old is that picture of Matt?

[Ruettiger]

I don't like U2, and they don't look alike.

[Crusader]

Is that... Tommy Lee?

 

Love child of Matt Good and Bono.

[firestorm701]

i don't think either of their wives would take very well to you saying that LOL

[Aidan]

I've never cared for Bono either and frankly i've found him to be a little preachy and over bearing.U2 do absolutely nothing for me either.

Matt isn't balding

Personally, there's always seemed something... fake, about Bono to me. Whenever I see him do a charity event or a political show it looks like he is phoning it in from home, whereas when he does concerts, he can turn up the intensity and not look like he's falling asleep.

 

Might be my imagination, or the fact that he's slime. Not sure.

[firestorm701]

Bono is not slime

 

 

where do you people get these opinions from anyways??

 

Bono is more charitable than any of you

[MakesYouAWeapon]

Define charitable.

 

If charitable is throwing money at a problem, then Bono is charitable.

 

But anyone can throw money at a problem and say "Look! I'm a superhero!" and people will in turn say "Man, he's such a nice guy" and give him money for it. When you're richer then some small countries, a charitable donation a week is nothing.

 

I'm talking about when he goes to events, and when he makes speeches. He gives me the impression that is a fabrication, as he seems to have no passion and when caught in the crowd, often looks bored, or even falling asleep.

 

There's no doubt that he gives to charities and there is no doubt that that money helps, and maybe to you that's all that matters. I just doubt if he is sincere, or if he sees it as a method of self-promotion.

 

And that's how I feel.

[pearanoid]

Ouch, I think someone hit a nerve!

[sirbeavertease]

MG talks. Bono does.

Eh. I didn't intend it as a personal attack, although when quoted it seems like it.

 

I just meant that Bono seems fruadulent to me, and no amount of donation or face time will change that.

 

As to...

 

MG talks. Bono does.

 

I find it odd that when Bono is off being citizen one, MTV happens to have a camera crew around.

[pearanoid]

Yeah, but the way Matthew Good talks is doing something. He's using his celebrity to educate people and try to change people to think differently and act themselves. That's an important thing as well because instead of just one person doing something, you can have many.
