  1. I was there that day — wish I would have seen him. That’s pretty ballsy of him to march like that in public, though. You go, Lawrence.

  9. USMC, cool! My Dad and Grandfather (WWII) were both Marines. Dad is opposed to the war in Iraq, but I don’t think he’d wear a Marine jacket to a peace march 😉 “Better watch out for those fighter planes, y’all”

  13. I swear, I really think he has sold his soul (to continue to look so young)

    Is it his diet and healthy lifestyle? I gotta get on this bandwagon

  21. Damn that Larry!! Everyone once in a while he does something so cool that kinda makes up for some of his usual silently obnoxious demeanor. 😉

  27. Is that really LMJr? Am I the only one who thinks it doesn’t quite look like the real LMJr? Will the real Mullin Jr. please stand up?

  29. What’s your point hard truth?

    1) That Bono is inspired by Larry’s actions, or,
    2) You’re saying that Bono is saying that war on iraq is ok since 2 million africans will die.

    Please don’t turn this thread into another yes war/no war arguement.
    Please respect one another’s opinions and keep it clean!

  31. I can hear Larry now:”Down with America…but keep those American dollars coming!!” Stay behind the drum kit pretty boy, and stay out of New York.

  35. At the very least, a reasonable alternative – no, expecting Saddam to be cooperative in disarming is not reasonable – would be nice. Iraq getting nuclear weaponry and becoming another North Korea is a tremendously bad idea. I don’t see how lifting the sanctions on Iraq, as the sign behind Mr. Mullen suggests, would be of any help.

  41. mickey–
    hey, idiot, this was in DUBLIN. you know, where he’s from.
    he is entitled to his own feelings, just like you are. he did not sign a petition or hold a press conference to discuss his views. he marched anonymously with thousands of others. someone happened to snap a picture. is pretty boy supposed to be an insult? give me a break.

  43. I just simply have to say one word about Larry’s actions – COOL! (…and I don’t mean the shades!)

  47. mickey,
    dont you americans have your so called “right to free speech” Larry is speaking with his actions. As “truthisgood” said, he is not doing it with publicity, just being true to himself. Go for it Larry.

  55. What a dope! What a waste of time! I’d suggest holding an “anti-stupid” march in honor of all of those who have been marching ‘for peace’ as of late, but since marching is itself a stupid act, there can be no such thing as an “anit-stupid” march. Haha. Oh, and the dude looks to be around 35. If you really think he looks like he’s in his twenties, then the twenty year olds you know are aging poorly.

  57. when they were doing the sellafield thing in zoo tv era, he wore a baseball cap that said BNFL FOAD….as in BNFL FUCK OFF AND DIE. I would love to know what his message is here to the US ??????????

  59. Rather than participating in a flame war I’ll just give my opinion: This is Larry’s way of expressing himself and I think that’s cool. Bono’s quote about Africans wasn’t meant to wave away the discussion on war but to point out to the world that it is very sad that so many ppl would die but that even more die each year of aids. That’s his mission.

  61. I wan’t entirely convinced that was Larry in the picture either. The march seems an unlikely thing he would do considering he prefers to remain anonymous. But, after seeing the link to the other picture of him at the premier in the same coat, I was convinced it was him. Still think it seems uncharacteristic despite what his views may be.

  63. Remember the anti-unification parade U2 accidentally got caught up in the first day they were in Berlin to record AB? Larry was probably just trying to get to the pub.

  65. Larry is too cool!
    And what is this nonsense about it is stupid to demonstrate? To demonstrate is one of the rights that makes a democracy, and i believe it is actually a necesary thing to do.

  73. I don’t think he looks so young. I think that saying it has become so cliche’ a lot of people say it no matter what. He looks his age, which, contrary to popular internet belief, really isn’t all that old at all.

  75. itsme, I don’t think Mickey ever denied Larry his ‘free speech.’ Of course we are all willing to say what we like, and we all must realize that we sometimes suffer the consequences for it too. I think Mickey just meant, don’t come back to NYC hugging and wearing the flag, it’s not gonna play now that everyone knows their true feelings. I have no problem with anyone being against the war, but when they value the lives of Iraqis and not our servicemen, or they act like we are this big evil bad guy then still want our money, yeah, I got a problem with that. Not accusing anyone in particular, just in general.

  79. yes marching for peace is a waste of time. don’t care about UN and the world outside america, lets destroy iraq, north korea, and all other countries, this world only needs one country — america. ok, maybe britain, if its still a good dog.

  81. why do people equate “anti-war” with “anti-America”? i love America, but i don’t necessarily think it’s absolutely necessary right now to go to war and lose American lives while destroying lives in Iraq.

    How about we value all life. Eye for an eye is soooo old testament.
