Despite my vehement protests, Bono has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize again. He’s part of a list of 190 other nominees which is the most ever in the history of the prize. Bono was nominated for his campaigns to cancel third world debt, which is cool and all, but I think I could’ve campaigned against it as well if I weren’t so busy working a job to save myself from debt. You’d think those banks would just look the other way when you borrow $1 million and never return it. But they won’t, man. They’re bastards.

WOW, with all the shit flinging in here I guess this post about Bono isn’t very exciting.
To all my hustlers that I have grown to love over the past month (or so) you know who you are
PEACE!
i’m not the one who kills defenseless puppies.
i honestly didn’t mean anything unamicable toward you – geez
manunited
Trust me. You do not want to go down this road. If you do, you’re gonna end up spending the next couple of days trying to obtain a restraining order like me and LaydeeBug. I’ve got one thing to say about that girl. Damn, but she’s persistent. Check it out-she wrote you 4 posts without a response. Also, she was apparently unaware that you were making fun of her psycho ass the entire time. Anyhoo, manunited, let me know if you need some tips on getting that restraining order.
and to what do you compare killing a defenseless puppy? chill – I have no beef with you.
dim-wit – mamacita … you are just such a dim-wit
how is it I’m unaware of him making fun of me when I addressed him making me the butt of his satire?
and what’s with this posting without a response nonsense?
you are amazingly retarded
I know – I did find it funny that it took her a loong time to figure out I was making fun of her. I am tempted to quit my job and work full time just annoying her.
I don’t need any restraining order – she can’t win a verbal assault with me.
She has not seen anything yet but will if it keeps up.
Oprah and her Housewife Mafia must be so jealous since they unsuccessfuly tried to get her a nomination.
The Mad Dater,
“Becausethere’s a bastard in all of us”
Hey ESQ
You’re a lawyer, so maybe you can handle this one. Could you let “the one who shall not be named” know that my restraining order requires her to stay at least 15 posts away from me at all times?
Give him his goddamn Nobel so he’ll stop telling our governments to tax us more to send more money to more corrupt african governments.
Screw you Bono give you own money!
manunited
LaydeeBug
Well, guys, fight the good fight. I’m leaving to go eat some seafood. I’ll try not to associate the smell of the crab with “the one who shall not be named” and how her stank ass probably smells. Holla!
manunited – how is it that you perceive anything unamicable from me?
and how is it that when I let your making fun of me slide and politely address it, all of a sudden that is not realizing you are making fun of me? Especially when you say I have no sense of humor?
Like I said – I have no beef with you. Why the perception?
damn – you were giving me money a minute ago – now you are mad at me and MIA
oh well – no beef here
Seriously, bloody hell guys. Exchange emails and have ya fight like that. Cause this is gettign retarded, having to scroll through half a page of lameass comebacks… That is NOT a hint to get me involved.
Thanksplease.
Peace on Earth…yeah right…we can’t even have peace in a bloody thread.
sorry coozy, unfortunately i do not sit in front of the superficial every minute of the day, but since you’re missing me i just want to tell you i don’t necessarily have a beef with you – I have a beef with your kind who come on this site & instigate arguments with your holier-than-thou BS comments instead of just screwing off and writing the first goofy thing that comes to mind when you read these moronic posts.
Your kind are the reason i started commenting instead of just reading all the time because I hate the self-righteous bullshit that makes its way on here and really enjoy getting those types incensed with superficial rage, as you have so kindly portrayed this evening, to make my point.
#61 You obviously don’t know anything about Bono. Him and his band have donated alot of money to different charities. He’s put his money where his mouth is. Have you?
you dropped off the radar screen so suddenly and seemed mad at me
I did not instigate any argument – mamacita insulted asbo and then me, continuously, for defending him. Rather than rolling over and playing dead, I point out she is appearing to be genuinely retarded.
Since her insults are not directed at you, I don’t expect you to understand.
I have not had any rage at all toward you or anyone else. Stating facts, bringing to light the absurdity of mamacita’s moronic insults, questioning your appearance of being mad at me, and explaining that I was not offended by your comment nor was I mad at you, is all I have communicated. No rage nor incense.
I thought your comment was genuinely funny, just didn’t think it pertained to the sitation. Hence, the “thank you for making me laugh”. I did not “not get it that it was directed at me”. I thought it was quite witty. Just not applicable.
It’s all good – just try to be a little more objective. And don’t get mad at me. I wasn’t mad at all.
susie-q
O.K. Here’s how it went. Asbo was posting the same exact comment, which insulted the writer, on every story that came out a few days ago and was just filling in different names for each story. I made a comment to the effect that if he was going to insult the writer, he should be original and post a different insult to each story. I said absolutely nothing to you. As a matter of fact, I didn’t even know that you existed at that point. However, you insulted me and said something implying that I wasn’t smart enough to get that the annoying thing that asbo was doing was funny. I then responded to you and since then, you have refused to leave me alone. You have tracked me down in several posts where I said nothing about you, just so you could chime in about how retarded I am. Those are the facts and you’ll see that if you choose to. Well, I, for one, am seriously over all of this. If you’ll shut up about me, I’ll shut up about you. How’s that?
yes I was defending asbo. If you are going to insult me for defending him, I am not going to just say – oh well fine.
And I guess it’s all how you perceive it. I am simply responding to all of your insults directed at me. You insult asbo, you insult me, and then it’s all wrong for someone to insult you? After all, this is a website dedicated to insulting. But how is it you can dish out the insults, but no one can insult you in return?
Fine then – since you are appearing to be reasonable, consider the matter closed. No problem.
Just to clarify here. It’s possible to defend one person without insulting another. If you had done that, I would’ve had no problem with you. You insulted my intelligence while you were defending asbo. That is what pissed me off. And I didn’t care if you insulted me back. I cared about the level of the insulting and the fact that you wouldn’t let up on it. If you’ll notice, asbo let up after the 2nd comment and I never said anything else to him. That’s why I had such a problem with you, because you wouldn’t leave it alone. Well, now that we’re both at a point where it’s become ridiculous to us, hopefully this will be the end of it. Pax.
you insulted asbo and I stated you failed to see the humor in his posts – must I apologize if you took that as an insult? so be it.
then the insults between you and me went back and forth – it was neither of us that let up – be objective
it’s not so much that it’s ridiculous, it’s that you are being reasonable. No need for the “hopefully” – I fine – no problem.
*I said fine
and yes I was being insulting when I responded to your insulting asbo – but again, if it offended you, I apologize. But if you insult others while not getting their humor, likely someone will point out that you just did not get the humor for whatever the reason may be. I don’t want to insult you by pointing that out.
again, it does seem you are willing to let this all go for real – done then
Ok I was reading this to find out about Bono and yes have to read through a bunch of mindless boring crap about who is a “retard” and who is not. First of all who refers to anyone as a “retard”?? Come on!!!!!!Take it outside ladies and WHOEVER is the webmaster of this site can you not do something about this so we don’t have to wade through the crap comments to find something funny. This is not funny.It’s an annoying waste of time.
Bono! Oh my gosh guys this is all my fault. I must have added a B by accident when I filled out the nomination form. I meant to nominate Yoko.
Seriously people please take your ridiculous yammering and petty arguments somewhere else, you are spoiling everyone else’s fun. Or whatever this is.
I’d do Bono. Over and over and over again.
call Bono back we need him to mediate this site, you know if he’s not busy and shit.
Fuck Bono. If he was serious about African poverty he could pay off their debts with the change he spends on all those fucking sunglasses and still have change left for coffee.
NEWSFLASH
If all you want to do is find out about Bono, you can just read the story and leave it at that. If, thereafter, you choose to read the comments, you are wanting to see what other people had to say about said story. In that pursuit, you are going to come across some minor altercations. In just about every story, there’s someone burning someone else and usually it’s shortlived. This was a little more drawn out than usual, but it’s over now. However, no one is forcing anyone else to read the comments. So, if it’s really a problem for you, there’s an easy solution!
Speaking of smacktards…what
#82 That’s actually pretty funny! Here’s my favorite bit of irreverent humor. Before my husband and I got married, we had a lame pick-up line contest, and he won with this one “Let’s go halves on a bastard”. I have to admit, I do feel extremely sheepish about all of the mud I was flinging. However, it was mostly hormonally induced and I have a dr. appt. on Monday to switch birth control. After that, everyone should be safe from my wrath. You should visit http://www.tshirthell.com
he’s a rock star, not a nobel peace prize winner. angelina jolie deserves it more than him, she stole brad from jennifer, ahahaha! if that doesn’t inspire peace i dont know what will!
I’m honestly impressed that the Nobel Foundation didn’t outright rehject hoim because he isn’t a scientist or a suit.
U2 has been putting out consistently excellent music for over two decades and Bono was speaking out aboutthe idiocy of teh religious war in Ireland, while U2 was still wet behind the ears.
The man has a social conscience and I say more power to him. Anyone who thinks that forgiving teh debt owed by 3rd World countries is “nothing” needs to wipe off their belly window and read a few things about economic terrorism.
That being said, Bono was starting to strut the IT boy a few years ago, but to his credit, he seems to have caught himself and put a lid on it.
He a lot better nominee than these two who were on the 2004 list of Nobel Prize nominees:

Debt relief is a failed solution: you wipe out the arrears these dysfunctional states have, but don’t address the underlying corruption/inefficiency/structural defects that brought about the debts in the first place.
Agreed on the need for people to stop gumming up the thread with the “I’m rubber, you’re glue” bits. Let’s be adults.
Just my two cents.
~ working class Dubliner with a garage band that got a lucky break. halfway decent tunes. never worked a day in his life to speak of. is he qualified to dictate to me how my tax money is spent? are any of these(entertainment industry) morons qualified to judge or preach to me on my life or tax dollars? is it any wonder the Democratic party suffers from dis-connect? BRING ON THE BALDWINS!
Forgiving tthe debt IS one part of the solution — obviously not the whole soultion — there is no silver bullet. But it is an integral part.
Bono’s glasses are blue — not rose colored.
You’re amusing kimoira. Democratic party disconnect?… yeah maybe but that’s not teh only disconnect. Don’t want to be told how your tax money is spent but you’re apparently happy to have a phony cowboy coke fiend spend your tax money on bombing the hell out of iraq and handing your tax money to his good ol’ buds in Haliburton.
That’s a hoot.
On topic: I think that one reason Bono got nominated is that he’s been trying a bi-partisan approach (including meeting with Bush), to get politicians to look past politics and do something together.
He probably won’t get the Nobel anyway…. whatever.
If that powermonger John Boulton got nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, then I think Bono should definately not be left out.
Check it out at CNS News
Bonois themost influential figured of our time. Most americas don’t listen to bono’s word.Sure he’s a rockstar from an island where one half wants to kill the other,not to mention child brainwashing.Check out north and south of the river (B side)it speaks of the Irish strif. Bono sings about hookers, bombs ripping open the sky (aint that america)Bono is an amazing man. I pelieve he got the ball rolling on releaving Africs debt,more and better med. plus by helping them relieve this illegal debt, what is bound to happen, woud have happend, an entire continent will be purged.. thatks to an AIDS pandemic. We already have starving orphans whos mothers litterly worked them selves to death on there back so that the children mighht have a chance. The peouple I speak of in Rural Africa wait for the garbage truck and riot for their next meal. iF GW3 is pressured enought he will give the 1! asked. People How can a president immidiatly relieve the debt of an oil rich nation such as Iraq and shuffle his feet at Afria? As it stands Arica is spenign all its money paying off these predatory loan. The are forced to sel their diamonds, coco and sugar at the least fine product, thereby getting less value. If it’s dect was lifted, the coud become their own refineries. Then they woud have money for food and meds. Bono may be rock star but the man is a saint
number two. He wants more he knows we have it. ITs for the better good. Also lets not forget all the hundreds of millions going to this regime chage… he georgA how mnay Iraqis you kill today.. in the name of collateral damage
WOAH WOAH WOAH! Hold the f*cking phone!!
i love what Bono’s doing but if he’s going to get nominated for a Nobel Peace Award then shouldnt Oprah Winfrey be nominated? that woman should’ve won already.
que pura mielda de este mundo! dios mio!!
next thing you know…that Tom guy from MySpace will be nominated too!
—i just had to say that so if someone already posted something like that then too bad. *cough*
Oh, I thought Nobel Prizes were for people who actually do something, like rocket scientists or inventors. So, I guess it ends up all you have to do is have a lot of money and know how to use it.
you have never known one of the mpst powerfulhe,. He sits at heads of ststes leads prayer breakfastn but mostly he has monye, sure and he spends it in irder to th ebtter word ever have witnessed a man in power. Rather thta being agluttion he shares his weakth ansd persues othe ciuntrys to tak his lead. Bono is a genius (in case you did know he isn;t jtd schmuck ot theit.
oprah doesnt deserve jack shit.. expect an igo deflation
