Arrrggghh, thanks for reminding me how much I hate this song. Bob Geldof always struck me as a smug little tard, back when this song came out. It’s the kind of song that I would have thought was edgy and clever when I was a schoolboy. During interviews when questioned about the poor taste of treating a tragedy with such smug flippancy Geldof replied that it was more like America didn’t like it when someone aired its “dirty laundry”. BTW I always read it was a schoolgirl that did the shooting, not someone who lived across the street.
Why didn’t Geldof write a song to air Scotland’s dirty laundry when some lunatic killed 18 children at a nursery school? And that line about “the silicon chip inside her head gets switched to overload”, does that even mean anything? Things don’t get “switched to overload”, they get overloaded. But I’m sure the schoolboys thought it sounded cool. So Geldof always struck me as a loser who was desperate for some claim to fame. And then Live Aid comes along and this tard gets treated like a saint. Jeez.
Thanks for the memories.

I got your point... and in the past you would have been correct. This video, and following replies have honestly set me straight. No getting down on anyone because of some artifical line in the sand for me after this. I'M A NEW MAN!

"Actually I'm from Canadian, but America is pretty close and let's face it, we're all pretty similar once you cut through all that bullshit!"

I love how the English guys are getting down on the Scot. It's an interesting reflection of the state of the world. Geographically, they are so close, but they seem to think they are so different. Drop all of them in downtown Shanghai or Bagdad and no one there would be able to tell them apart.
Give it up, you're all from the UK. In the other 99% of the world no one gives a shit. Move on.

Lol. What i love even more is that you're apparently not from the UK yet making an uneducated statement about the relationship between english/scottish based on jokes about the stereotypical scottish person/stereotypical english person.
Say what you like about our love/hate relationship, but we all died alongside each other protecting the Great!!! British Isles whilst the rest of the (new) world was busy turning a quick profit off the situation and waiting for the winner to be decided. They're all my brothers and sisters and whilst i may make a joke about them, and they may make a joke about me, there's no one finer, braver or tougher i'd rather trust my joint national safety to.
If i said exactly what you said about about americans/canadaians (you're american, right?), you'd bawl your eyes out!

Dear sir:
Go fuck yourself.

A Canadian from the "new world" whose ancestors faught and died during BOTH world wars to protect your right to make generalizations about cultures outside of the British Isles.
So, just for fun, while I may not agree with TickTocks statement, Here's a neat picture showing the idiocy of comparing England/Scotland, to Canada/United States. (yes, that's Australia, UK, and U.S., but it gets the point across)
Even more perspective on that, total of area of the UK (Scotland and obviously included) = 244,820 km km/sq.
Ontario, one of canadas smaller provinces, has an area of 917,741 km/sq.
One Canadian province is larger than both your countries combined. So, no, if you said the same thing about Americans/Canadians, I'd probably laugh at you for making such a stupid comparison.

--> "If i said exactly what you said about about americans/canadaians (you're american, right?), you'd bawl your eyes out!"
--> "If i said exactly what"
--> "If i said"
--> "If"
I think that's my point proven right there! Sorry you had to get in the firing line of my insulting generalisation, but that was the point.

Yeah I've noticed that about American TV. An African or a Russian speaking in perfectly understandable English with a slight accent, and the American news channels slap subtitles on it. It seems quite derogatory to be honest.
