Will Live 8 solve African Poverty

Corrupt dictators, AIDS and civil war can Bob Geldof solve africas problems?

Unfortunately NO!

NO, and the Live 8 organizers are total morons if they think their stupid little concert is gonna have any affect on anything...

How's Bangladesh doing 35 years after the "Concert for Bangladesh", in which George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, and a host of others had their concert? Yeah, that worked out well...

At least hes trying..

Africa is lost,we'll never come right.

We suffer from a Culture of Corruption and a general lack of intelligence.(Well that's my opinion)

It won't solve the problem. There's only one solution that'll do that.
What it will do is raise awareness of the problem, and generate discussion on what should be done.
And that's a good thing.

[i]Well if it takes a massive w@nk€r to solve a massive problem, with Sir Bob at the helm, fingers crossed, we're in with a chance!😕

Just my personal opinion based on my worldview.

I believe that the average African is grows up in a culture ignorance and poverty and an environment where education is a privelage. As a result of these surroundings I personally believe that, in general, Afric ...[text shortened]... are not as intelligent as they could be or should be.

Hence a general lack of intelligence...

Its a lack of education and access to information (never mind clean water). Not a lack of intelligence.

Big difference.
