Axl helps the environment

Healthcare for California Wildlife and World's Marine Life

Oceana works on protecting the world?s oceans, from declining fisheries, marine habitat destruction, pollution, and seafood contamination. The org?s Ranger set sail for a Canary Islands project. Last year board member Sam Waterston and Conservation International board member Harrison Ford got the nod. The all-star committee rustling up donations includes Jeff Goldblum, Jake Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman, Ron Howard, Sting and Styler, Robert Redford, and Paul Hawken.

CWC vets and volunteers assist sick, injured, orphaned, and gunshot wildlife before releasing them back to nature. In January they offered healthcare to a dozen pelicans suffering from a rash of feet ailments including vasculitis, contusions, and ecchymosis, due to polluted beaches. Besides development encroaching on animal habitat, plastic debris in the ocean puts marine life at risk.

Other friends of the cause include Bill Maher, Cindy Crawford, HBO, Axl Rose, and Mickey Rourke. Former game show host Bob Barker has funded a new $43,000 aviary for the many birds being treated. And with the generous donations of goods, from pet gift baskets to Bali vacations, services, Malibu wineries, and local eateries the monies raised will go directly to running the clinic.

Thanks for the post - it's nice to see a member of my favorite band helping out such a great cause.

Axl is very into charity. Though I think he likes to keep it too himself. Wish I could do more myself.

This forum has a very low threshold for humour.

This forum has a very low threshold for humour.

For unfunny "humor", yes.



Somebody posts that Axl has done something nice and immediately you have to try to add your "humor" to it.

So predictable, so fucking boring!


The same shit happened when his house almost burned down and he was part of a group who helped save his neighbor's house. Some of you had to make fun of it.

This is nice news. Thank you for posting this, rabia.

Thank you, Jarmo, for keeping this a positive place for true GN'R fans.

There are many of us that back your positivity. A few have to manufacture misery but that's not the majority.


Mr. Rose has always seemed very honorable and loyal. It is so lovely to see a celebrity that believes in helping from the heart and doesn't feel the need to get publicity for it.

Well done, Mr. Rose.

The world is full of assholes. And for some reason a lot of them claim to be gnr fans. Don't worry Jarmo, some of us respect others. They just can't stand that a so called bad boy rocker has a heart. A pretty damn good one at that.

Willow, there's always ways to volunteer. Just got to be creative. Try to see if your employer has a volunteer program. For the past two years, I helped out with the summer BBQ for the Ronald McDonald House through my employer. Unfortunately, I can't do it tomorrow since I'm still coughing. They don't want any sick people helping out since the children have weak immune system.

Seriously, dude, lighten up.  Life is too short to get all butt hurt every time someone tries to have a little fun.

[jarmo]

How about you shut the fuck up.

 


It's always the same group of fans and somehow I'm not surprised at seeing you here to defend their actions.

So how about you funny guys take your humor and shove it. That way we'll all save some of that precious time.

Having a bad day? 

Give them and me a break.  There is absolutely nothing going on in the GnR world right now.  Nothing insulting was said.  I actually think it is cool that Axl is green.  I would love it if the tour (if there is a tour) usd biodeisel buses and trucks.  Sure I said it in a tongue n cheek way but it's not like I said something mean about your boy.

[jarmo]

Not bad at all. Thanks for caring!


Just don't get certain people's need to try to be "funny" on the Internet every time something complimentary/nice is said about Axl.




/jarmo

[gilld1]

Just because you don't get it doesn't mean that others, myself included, don't get it.

Sometimes when your frustrated, angery, etc. humor or attempts at humor get you through it.

I'm not necessarily defending them, I'm just trying to say lighten up.

[horsey]

yeah have a nice night,lighten up a bit. :nervous:you are getting scary '

[gilld1]

Is it, perhaps, a difference btween the humor of Americans and Swedes?  Like how the French love Jerry Lewis and no one in the rest of the world does??

[jarmo]

I don't see the fucking humor in trying to put down a person as soon as something nice is said about him/her.

That's the whole point.

The whole concept of humor has a lot to do with timing and place. The same joke isn't funny when it's in the wrong place at a wrong time. Think about it.




And horsey doesn't like it when her off topic posts get removed.
