Jimmy Page, OBE

Read all about it

amazing how all these 70’s rock’n’roll godz transform into old British guys… :stuck_out_tongue:

What’s ironic is that he will probably be remembered far longer for his music contributions than for his charitable works.

Let’s throw some oil on the fire here: what’s the use of throwing a lot of money into poor areas when it can never be enough to resolve the problems there? By helping keep more poor people alive aren’t we just fostering an ongoing cycle of over-population, poverty, disease, crime, etc.? :smiling_imp:

I posted something about human-flavored tofu earlier. . . but I;m not a vegetarian. . .the real thing (baby meat) is much better.

What’s the point of eating when you’re just going to be hungry again later?

Eating should be reserved for those who can feed themselves. Trouble begins when you start feeding those who can’t. Then they just want more. And there’s too many of them for you to ever feed them all, or well.

Your stomach can’t feed itself. Why should you feed it? It’s only going to want to be fed again later.

Ah, it does…have you had any success reasoning with yours? I have failed miserably! :laughing:

This must be a record, even by our standards.

A thread hijacked at the second post.

Slan,

So, does this mean Mr. Page nolonger has to pay taxes? :smiley:

Yeah, I think I’ll toddle over to the contentious forum and hijack the conversations. I’ll make 'em discuss music or fluffy bunnies. :wink:

He made up his mind to make a new start.

He was walking in the park just the other day. What do you think he saw?

Page Nolonger, who the hell is that? You’re damn right he has to pay taxes, just like the rest of us…Mr. Nolonger is no more special than the rest of us…now Jimmy Page on the other hand… :stuck_out_tongue:

The sun beat down upon his face?

:laughing:

Because it pleases me to do so, and more to the point, I can afford it. :smiley:

This topic has crossed the border between fluff and political/controversal stuff. Please return to the original topic.


Thanks,


JES

I, for one, am happy that Mr. Page is being recognized for his contribution to help the less fortunate. Unlike many famous people who blow all their money on drugs and die early.

Regardless of his tax status.

Wait a minute! Isn’t this the PUB? Isn’t fluff an integral aspect?

Yes it is. I’m directing my gaze at the poor/hunger stuff.

Oil on the fire, Joe. I did give warning. :smiley: Besides, I’m not in favour of hurting or depriving anyone, only it seems to me to be a bottomless pit. I was hoping to encourage dialogue into alternatives that would show real benefits. Instead, I got attempts at clever holier-than-thou. Oh well …

It is doubtless that Jimmy Page does not concur with your assessment.

What? How dare he? :angry: The article says his mission helps a few hundred kids per year. In a city with hundreds of thousands living in cardboard boxes that is less than a drop in the ocean, and does not make any permanent change for the better. Perhaps there is a better way to help?
