2 edits |  World Peace is great ....
... every Miss America pageant contestant says so. But is what Geldof putting together a channel advocating for World Peace or just another left-wing attempt at promoting world socialist government. And, of course, they will go after the kids before they have the critical thinking skills necessary to smell out BS when it is foisted upon them.
He hasn't laid out any details yet of the programming or who will be providing it, but skepticism is the order of the day until the programming details can be examined.
His "Peace Channel" may just be a PR tactic to get publicity for his new business ventures:

The company pushing the Peace Channel is the same "Ten Alps" company he has launched.

| Gee, what a surprise. Another Neocon dissing that which he doesn't understand.
Bob Geldof is a major advocate for the elimination of global poverty. He has dedicated his life to the cause of social justice, much to the dismay of the right wing whacko's, whose motto is best summed up as 'kick em down, and keep em down'.
The BS being foisted upon today's kids is the crap the megacorps try and push down their throats. If it weren't for LIBERAL programs like sesame street, and PBS, today's kids would be force fed a message of pokeman and transformers.
It's time to stand up to the corporate oppressors, and support GOOD works like this channel. Every kid we teach to think critically about the difference they can make in the world, is a kid who provides VALUE to society. Every kid who grows up on force fed, right wing, christian conservative values is another nutjob who probably believes blowing up abortion clinics is a good thing.

What the neocons don't seem to realize is that worldwide peace, liberty, and equality are more products of socialist structures, as opposed to capitalistic structures. Capitalism, at least in it's modern Western version, is basically a gigantic "pyramid" scheme.
Oh I forgot to tell you to keep being a good little consumer and do your duty of buying disposable plastic lawn toys from wallmart and contribute to the "help China buy US debt" fund. |

said by karlmarx  :Bob Geldof is a major advocate for the elimination of global poverty. That's the problem with you libs, you try and solve problems that can't be solved. Don't you realize how stupid you sound when you say "I wan't to eliminate global poverty." Yea right. You'll have everybody living dirt poor with a few, very rich, very powerful people running the communist government. But you'll say, "Oh look! Nobodies homeless! Communism is a success, just ignore the fact everybody's dirt poor."
And global peace, give me a break. It sounds nice, but it's only a dream.

You should learn the difference between communism, socialism, and stalinism before spouting random mis-information as you just did. All three aforementioned forms of government operate in entirely different ways. |

| That's the problem with you stereotypical libs, as soon as somebody disagrees with you have to paint them as some stupid backwoods hick. I am not a neocon nor a conservative. I am more of a libertarian. Free markets and free people. People need to take care of themselves and stop whining for the government to babysit them. |

Ok THX-1138. Remember - Let us be thankful we have commerce. Buy more. Buy more now. Buy. And be happy. Economics make it necessary to terminate any operation which exceeds five percent of its primary budget. |

Wow, it would have been nice if you could have stuck just to facts... But alas, several time you had to go and use half truths.
It is sad. Politics has turned into such a game of bullshit game between the left, the right and the libertarians.

said by Kamaz :Free markets and free people. That's always funny. That only means that people are free to execute commerce freely. That's says nothing about the rest of their lives.
Additionally, that's just as a utopian a vision of the world as the -isms. Libertarians talk about communists like their nuts for believing in their utopian ideology, but are often blind to the fact that libertarianism is the same type of thing.

Without Capitalism, you wouldn't have the Internet. You really should move to a communist country for 5 years then come back and tell us all about how you became a capitalist. |

Social justice is just that; "social justice". It's not code for socialism. That's seriously one of the silliest things I've ever heard.
I personally am not going to bother wasting 1 iota more debating this matter. You clearly need to spend a lot more time reading about world history from several totally different sources.
I just had to point-out the silliness of that remark, no hard feelings mate, stiff upper lip hey?! Apologies if I dont respond to your rebuff, but I've much better things to do in-order to put the ole grey-matter to use.
