^read these articles, it will explain why i think why you people are stupid. the company is horribly non-transparent, and, upon closer examination of their financials, (on their website) less than 50% of the money they get actually get goes to helping people. Its sad that everyone is mindlessly jumping on this bandwagon without knowing anything about what they are supporting. They seem to think that watching a 30 minute video that tugs at your heart-strings makes you an expert on a subject that they knew nothing about prior to watching. it just shows that people don't want to care about what they are supporting, they just want to support something. They want to feel like they are doing good, like they are 'helping the cause', regardless of what the cause actually is. "Couch Activism" is a good word to describe what you are doing. And a couple words about kony: Don't think that he is going to be found in a couple of months, or even a couple of years for that matter. Look at how long it took to find bin-ladin. The united States launched a full out invasion, and it still took them ten years to find him. 10 YEARS! This guy is hiding in the jungle, and by all accounts, isn't even in uganda any more. They dont even know what country he is in and, according to that video ( yes i watched it) he knows that he is sought after, and has gone int hiding. Don't think anything is going to come of this, it will probably be forgotten about by the beginning of April anyway. -------------

Yeah it�s yet another example of the gruesome deeds done by an African warlord/rebel. The problem is, that if it�s not the rebels then usually it�s the government who tortures and kills it�s own people. Too many african nations are still savages and it�s such a pity for the large part of the populations in those countries who just want to live in peace.
...and no I don�t donate money when I don�t know where they go  ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

Ah, I see why I should care. He's a Christian so he should die. Actually, screw that. There's probably a hundred more like him over there. Remember when we capped bin-Laden and suddenly there was no more terrorism in the world? Yeah...no. Can't we focus on problems like that that occur over on our side of the Atlantic Ocean? You know, like human trafficking? -------------

You hit the nail on the head, Christian. Of course, I think Kony is an absolutely atrocious waste of oxygen, but this 'couch activism' that you've described is completely accurate. ------------- Check out my YouTube channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime |

It not about how evil he is, it about how shitty of a company invisible children is. i agree with jeff in saying that this guy is a complete waste of breathable air and should be drawn and quartered , but people knowing about him isnt going to get this guy found, it not like he is camping out in some guys backyard. Also, what research have you done other than watch a 30 minute video? I'm guessing little to none. -------------

I'm sorry, but this is utter bullshit, and I think you know it is too.  Like Christian said, the issue isn't whether or not Kony is an evil guy - I think we can all agree on that, and like I've mentioned earlier, I believe he's a complete waste of oxygen. The fact that he's doing these actions in the name of a religion makes it all even worse in my opinion. The issue is how to eliminate him, which I think is what almost everybody has wrong. For one, I know that it will be a very cold day in hell before I donate to Invisible Children, and there aren't any alternatives that I'm aware of. Invisible Children is a group of FRAUDS who are interested in making money by pulling people's heart-strings, and their video is apparently doing a good job at just that. Government action isn't something that I'm necessarily in favor of either, especially considering that Kony's not nearly as active as he was a few years ago. Hell, the Ugandan government is just about as atrocious as Kony is! This isn't a particularly relevant topic anymore, and the fact that it's just gaining attention now is frustrating. ------------- Check out my YouTube channel! http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/user/demiseoftime |
