Thread Name: BS: Enough of mouthpiece Geldolf
Subject: RE: BS: Enough of mouthpiece Geldolf
I have great admiration for Geldof! Here is a guy who has saved many lives already through his organising abilities. Here is a man who can draw attention to the plight of 'the world', particularly the third world. How can some of you knock this guy for achieving something?
How many of you either give something or do something for the third world....if everyone pulled together perhaps the world could be a fairer and much happier place for those who are not as privileged as you! I would rather be a latter day superhero to millions of Africans than the negative focus of a mudcat critic....which should Geldof be?
He did not try to bring Ebay down...just to cause a commotion where those tickets wee concerned, by overbidding for them...Yes it would have taken some sorting out...but bring the site down? NO WAY.
This whole event is getting the sort of publicity it needs in many good ways and some not so good..but hey folks....what are you doing to help?
Best wishes, Mike.
