    Seriously, I don't adore the man, he can be annoying and slightly embarrasing at times but the amount of bile on here for him is unbelievable.

    He is very well intentioned person, has a world wide appeal and is a good ambassador for the country. Are you not slightly proud of him? I am. He's done more in a week than most of us will do in our little lives.

    My theory is the internet has created too many extreme opinions, also there is a sheep factor aswell. Mary Harney gets a mention on nearly every thread here, all the sheep trying to outdo each other with their "wit".

    Every time I'm in town (Dublin) I see a less friendly place for tourists to visit. Believe it or not we really are known for our friendliness and sadly we're losing that day by day it seems, hate seeing tourists getting a hard time!!

    Is the world getting smaller and more alike? Discuss

    You forget that, as Irish people, we are utterly bitter about the man's success and will begrudge anything he, or any fellow countryman, does that helps him succeed in life.

    I heard him being described as "A Useful Idiot" in mainstream media recently and I'd have to agree

    Useful puppet for politicians and incorrect spokesman for Africa

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    And what are you? I'm not a big fan of the man but I recognize that he's part of one of the biggest bands ever and a person who really chooses to do good for humanity, don't get why he is so hated unless it is just begrudgery as someone else mentioned.

    Can you see 'His' colon yet? Into the colon? Work your way up to the cecum...

    I see any one who is a good father or a good mother or anyone who cares for another human being who needs that care has done about as much in a week as 'He' has... I figure there's a lot of folks here on boards who've done as much as 'He' has done in a week...

    However, clearly you don't...

    So, I think your post is full of shit

    ... and then I'd cover her in whipped cream.

    Man I should have made a pass at her, regret it now.

    Them's the breaks I suppose, her loss.

    She's stuck with a millioanire and I'm footloose and fancy free.

    It's cool to hate on Bono, and say U2's music is rubbish. But it'll turn around, eventually it'll become mainstream to hate them, and then people will not want to be mainstream, and say they like them again.




    Also, I'm not Irish, but I've noticed Irish people in general don't like anyone that is anywhere near successful or doing anything positive.
