The thread will end up being about the politics behind it. I enjoyed the London show, very impressive performances by all artists.
I myself am a big beat junkie/hiphop head..whatever you wanna call me but I opened up my ears and took in all the wonderful sounds from all the acts that performed. Live music is the best, by far. I'm sure AOLmusic/BBC will have the concerts backlogged for a some time and available for your viewing pleasure online.
One more thing, SIGN YOUR DAMN NAME..LET THEM KNOW.
Frankly, the original post wasn't asking about who has done what for the people in Africa, and no one, not even a staff member, should be trying to steer it that way.
even staff members can have "opinions" NEWSFLASH.. admins do require the same oxygen to sustain life as you do.. we don't regenerate via an electrical socket.
Ive signed my name to the letter and sent it to many other people.
Advent i think its ok for other people to care about one casue...And "try" to sway people in following it. The whole deal in africa is not a "Thing" as you put it. Its a real problem that needs to be taken care of.
Benji AEIIV.NET Take My Hand, Its Time To Fly.......
I talk about not steering the topic away from its original purpose, and you say I'm dimwitted enough to consider the staff members at the same level of intelligence as IRC bots. Right. Having an opinion and staying on-topic are two very different things. Furthermore, I'm not attacking the staff members, I'm saying they should be obligated to follow the same rules of "netiquette" as the rest of us users. That makes sense, doesn't it?
As for the "Africa thing", I was referring to the debates about whether or not enough is being done for the people there, not the actual problem. Its a real problem that needs to be taken care of.No shit, Sherlock.
Advent, you really must have to much time on your hands to wait around on posts to make sure that you can flame as much as possible and correct everyone's grammer.
phunkyspr33, guess you were wrong. a true indicator of the custo flavour ... where's the love all ...? ... this thread initiated by fate0000 was to discuss the various live8 performances and once again we are exhibiting arrogance over awareness, close your mumbler and open your eyes ... ... wish australia had have had one ... it was great watching the various sites down at southbank infront of the projector, lets hope there's others in the western world who were watching that took in its underlying message. ... neodude, nostalgic wasn't it ...
I saw it playing at the bar, Maroon 5 threw me off my pool game. He always managed to do the high-pitched "she (WIIIIILLLLLLLL) be loved" right as I was shooting.
Lovely, I thought you would have been able to connect the dots here, hot shot. In case you haven’t heard which race is being affected by the “extreme poverty” in the nation of African, I’ll update you. Just check that link posted above, and tell me what race the child is in the picture? Honesty, can you spin it harder? Keep picking your targets and working to your reasoning. Awesome logic, buddy, it may pay off one day.
why does it have to be about race? No one said anything about race other than yoruself.. I said "the people of africa" like he said, africa is a continent with many races and many nationalities. Why is it when people say africa they automatically think black?
The only person playing race and putting a spin on things is you. Use that so called logic to think for a bit if the leaders of the G8 really care about the people in africa to change anything based on concerts put on by other rich people smartguy. GET A REAL LIFE.
this thread was supposed to be about live8 tour and the music and such but you guys turn it into some stupid flame war over something totally off topic. You all need to give your egos, attitudes, cynicism, cleverness, or whatever you want to call it a rest cause it is getting really old. Its ruining the site and making people hate the community and quite frankly its not even fun to read or post on the forums anymore cause all anyone can do is bitch bitch bitch moan. Get that fucking enormous stick out of your asses, get real and stop trying to be e-thugs.
This is the internet, its not a fucking soap opera so stop treating it like one. ________________________________________
now for the live8 tour i havent heard anything about it where i live or seen it on tv. I would like to see it though so hopefully itll be around here so i can at least watch it on tv or something.
why is it whevenr we have an ineteeligent conversation on custo peopl degrade it and turun it into a slanging match.. the bad part for me was seeing teh crowd size at the eden project concert.. there can't have been over 5,000.. compared to 1million in phillie...
qwertz, there's never been any love on custo..apart from the 'fanboy' base. It's all beef beef beef, always has been.
People only come to the forums to bust balls nowadays, bust balls or troll this shit out. I used to think of custo to be a place full of intelligent people, but what do I see now? You tell me.
Oh and advent, you're not ignorant..you're just a damn troll. That's not beef, that's the truth.
Staying in context with your post and this thread, I’m well aware that "African" and "black" are often synonymous too much of the world, because large minorities of Africans, especially in the northern and southern portions of the continent, are in fact not dark-skinned at all. But again, what part does the world see in the news? Who is the relief really for? And my point is, in one post, and shockingly the second post of the thread. You managed to take a thread intended to discuss the artists and venues of a relief effort, and throw a damn Molotov cocktail at it. You’re clearly playing an angle that has no business in this thread, or even on this site, again. And none the less from an admin, if you wish to charge me on the stereotype, just try any piece of news written on Africans, from any source, IN THE CONTEXT OF THE THREAD AND REFLIE EFFORT. As for the trolling and flaming, it’s the internet guys, and posting a topic unrelated to customizing or desktop mods is only going to drive it. Don’t act so shocked. But I guess it doesn’t help when an admin sends it into overdrive on the second post, too. Oh, I noticed you deleted my first post, why would you go and do a thing like that?
