oh FFS Fazda, just because people don't agree with your view doesn't mean they didn't or can't read
 
Fazda, we can read just fine thanks. But (fortunately) we have minds of our own and are able to draw our own conclusions. Please stop trying to force your own conclusions on everybody else.

OK, do yourself a favour and go through all 42 odd posts and tell me how many people actually read and understood the original article and then commented on it. I have no problem with people disagreeing with me, I have a major problem with bigots, however, who simply chirp without bothering to read the facts.

Here's an Irish struggle song for you...complete with chords so you can play it on your guitar...really blood thirsty, so parental control needed before reading it...if you can read, that is. :rolleyes:

G)Give me the Irish Republican Army,
Give me the Green, White, and Gold every (D)time.
Give me the three-leaved shamrock of Ireland,
A land I love that is so di(G)vine.
Send the English back where they came from,
Give us our country back a(C)gain.
(D)Give me the Irish Republican Army,
To make our land a nation once a(G)gain.

(G)Side by side, our heroes died,
Answering Ireland's only (D)call.
All through the years, blood, sweat & tears,
They fought from Cork to Done(G)gal.
Although they're gone, we struggle on,
For Ireland united and (D)free.
So don't give in, for we must win
For a land of peace and liber(G)ty.

Chorus

(G)James Connolly, Cathal Brugha,
Pearse and the brave Wolfe (D)Tone,
Sean McNellis, Bobby Sands,
And Sean South from Garry(G)owen.
Armagh, and Derry, Belfast City,
They still struggle to be (D)free
So Irishmen, unite again,
To make a land of peace and liber(G)ty.

Verse 1: We're proudly Irish and the English are occupying our land, so we must remove them.
Verse 2: Our ancestors fought and died for Ireland, and so should we if we want peace and liberty.
Chorus: Pretty much the same idea as Verse 2.

Lyrics of the song sung by Malema during his birthday speech (transcribed and translated from the Times's online audio of Malema's birthday speech):

Those 2 songs are not even remotely comparable.

Fixed :D

And Gary FYI...if YOU bothered to read what I said over and over again, I don't have a problem with someone disagreeing with me, I simply have a problem with people NOT reading the article and then commenting on it like a bunch of sheep.

**Note to Gary - you should know that you have been on ignore for the past couple of months, I'm only replying to this because Korn quoted you. No need for you to reply unless you want the rest of your fans to read another eloquent statement from the self proclaimed king.

I agree entirely, but if you read the original article Bono didn't say that it should be sung in public either.

I simply quoted one of their struggle songs to show how mild it was....sorry if the irony of my original post went over your head.

Way to miss the point. Not even gonna bother trying to explain it to you though as you time and time again on this forum demonstrate an incredible ability to fail to think through a point that is not your own without guided assistance.

Unlike the sheep who all bleat to your tune, I suppose?
 
This is just a media fail to me. Then again why do celebrities bother trying to comment on another countries problems?

That response says so much about you I'm not even gonna touch it. I'll just leave it as it is because it's a thing a beauty.
 
Bono is a retard, he needs to stick to music and leave the politics to the other retards.
 
Bono is a first class pr1ck for even commenting on the issue. What we need in this country is less of the kind of things Malema says. Bono has no clue of the potential for Malema to feel justified in what he believes.

Well Greylor if you included a Zulu verse there you would have seen that those 2 songs are similar.
