Meet Paul for $21,000 Charity Buzz
-
$32,655 now. Wish I had the $ to do this.
-
Taking a leaf outta Jagger & Richards book eh? At least it's for a good cause.
-
Great controversy! But really if I had the money available I would participate in the auction, and wanted to give the highest bid.
-
Highest bid is over $30,000 now. I bet it will be over $50,000 by the end of the auction.

Bid is less than this now. Perhaps someone wasn't eligible or changed their mind somehow?
-
Hopefully all others will change their minds and I will win the auction for $100!

Would be nice if I had the money. I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with all my Paul and Beatles stuff I've collected over the years. I guess if it's for a good cause and someone can afford it, then good luck.

If I could, I would definitely contribute to this charity... Bullying is becoming rampant in schools and the workforce. It is extremely cruel and destructive and causes much mental anguish towards the "target". It is a misuse of social power, meant to cause an unjust perception, by a larger group of people, who then in effect also become unwitting bullies. The "target" has no where to turn, due to the social isolation. This can lead to anxiety, depression, loneliness and even suicide in those who do not know how to deal with the bullying. From Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullying
Often bullying takes place in the presence of a large group of relatively uninvolved bystanders. In many cases, it is the bully's ability to create the illusion that he or she has the support of the majority present that instills the fear of "speaking out" in protestation of the bullying activities being observed by the group. Unless the "bully mentality" is effectively challenged in any given group in its early stages, it often becomes an accepted, or supported, norm within the group. In such groups where the "bully mentality" has been allowed to become a dominant factor in the group environment, injustice and abuse often become regular and predictable parts of the group experience. Bystanders to bullying activities are often unable or unwilling to recognize the true costs that silence regarding the bullying can have, both to the victim or victims, and to the group. Bystanders often feel unwilling to empathize with the victim, regardless of their feelings towards the bully. The reversal of a culture of bullying within a group is usually an effort which requires much time, energy, careful planning, coordination with others, and usually requires some undertaking of "risk" by group members. It is the general unwillingness of bystanders to expend these types of energies and to undertake this type of risk that bullies often rely upon in order to maintain their power. Unless action is taken, a "culture of bullying" is often perpetuated within a group for months, years, or longer. Bystanders who have been able to establish their own "friendship group" or "support group" have been found to be far more likely to opt to speak out against bullying behavior than those who have not.
If you witness bullying, please speak up against what is happening... Someone's needs to hear your support !! Moderator Edit This post has been edited to include a link to the quoted excerpt from Wikipedia

Yes, and not just bullying in person but also cyberbullying is cruel and should not be tolerated. Children being targets is something that is evil. I have seen adults bully other adults relentlessly. It is pure evil and I wonder how the perpetrators live with themselves. I guess they are not empathic in the least or they could not participate. I am happy to see Paul cares about people being treated as less than human beings as victims of bullying behavior.

I wonder if Paul even 'knows' about some of these promotions? I think a lot of this is just his 'people'. He doesn't have THAT much time to devote to all the things that pop up.

Yeah--at the last minute, "Hey Paul, say Hi to this person and shake their hand! Now autograph this album for them!" (Does Paul even realize the person paid $$$$$$ for the privilege?)

Really. His people are running things for him. He probably doesn't know the half of it. We have a big client that is kinda like that...but of course no where near Paul's fame. Anyway...he doesn't know the answers...his people do. Just surround yourself with good people.

We have a saying in the O.R.--"Give the doctor what he needs, not what he asks for" because some of the time they don't know squat about what something is called, but we (nurses and scrub techs) know exactly what to give him!

Yep, as I said "surrond yourself with good people".

NO WAY!! How about a "free" concert and then I'll give what I would have spent for the tix and hotel room and traveling expences.
