Do you have any idea how many people in how many countries, including Ireland, actually have a job thanks to U2 being the band that they are?

What if he's cutting his taxes to give more to charity?

Do you have any idea how hard a guy in his position works?

The "ordinary people" I have around me work between 35 to 40 hours a week. I'm confident a guy in his position, of in JBJ's position, works a lot more than that.

How much do you KNOW he gives?
How much do you KNOW he can afford to give?

Why do people always speculate on the negative side of things?


Can someone stop me from asking anymore questions?

well, for a start, i know that he could afford to live like me, in which case he couldn't spend money taking someone to court over a hat.
