Bono: Capitalism Takes More People Out of Poverty Than Aid.

Self promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Thursday, August 15th, 2013 9:09am PDT - promote requested by original submitter blankfist.

I like his music but he's not exactly a financial analyst is he?

Also I don't think what he's saying is all that controversial, the problem that most people have with Capitalism is the way it's used and lied about, and it's hypocrisy. I'm not going to get into an argument about free markets or anything, but in America we have an inequality problem, which sort of says that Capitalism isn't a completely formed and perfect idea, it needs at least tinkering.

Now what he's doing here is comparing it to aid. I flat out disagree that they even can be compared. You give aid because a country is in trouble or you have do something to fuck it up. You don't give aid as a viable economic model forever.

Also I don't see how this is an argument for Americans to get upset over, whenever polling is done about Aid, Americans always say we give way too much aid. When asked after that how much we should give it's WAY beyond the number we actually give.

So this video is pretty much irrelevant to anything, as you would expect with just a 1 minute video featuring a rock star.

If you're referring to me I actually brought up some legitimate points that ad to the discussion. I was responding to a post that was sort of off the mark when it comes to what analysis Bono can give.

Seriously Storm, it's Bono. And a one minute argument by ANYONE would be worthless.

Stormsingersaid:

So nothing to see here but another trolling, eh?

Seriously dude, why even bother if you have no interest in discussion?

what would probably help africans the most is to stop ripping them off and exploiting their natural resources while using economic and military power to press the advantage.

Bono's place in the big-boy's club-To make scheduled appearances to remind his ineffectual, 30-50 yr-old former fan base that the paradigm is here, it's fucked, and it's only going to get worse so let's all have a group sob for this species-threatening state-of-affairs.

Jolie can only adopt so many children from representative nations...AT which point, space entrepreneur Elon Musk will use his advanced vertical TOAL ships to ferry this collection of human DNA to their new homes on Mars.

Bonos' a tool.

Wasn't referring to you at all...I was referring to blankfist, who made it quite clear he wasn't interested in any discussion, just stirring the shit. That's pretty close to the definition of troll.

Well damn, my quoting got lost (or I just forgot to hit that tiny little button). Thus I was obviously not at all clear. My apologies, Yogi.

Apology accepted.

See, this is why the far-right will always win. When faced with uncomfortable truths, logic, and rational disagreements, they will draw a penis jizzing in your mouth.

If only blankfist had been around in the time of Aristotle, we could all still be living in mud huts and worshiping sun gods.

Who's far-right? Also...
