spread awareness, really. that's all that needs to happen on everyday people.

[trix]

I just watched that video and I can't believe I didn't know about this before now. It's disgusting.

Huge respect for the guy who organised all this, and I hope with all my heart that they catch Kony this year. Brb going to go tweet about this.

I have supported Invisible Children ( the people behind the video) for years. Please help, guys!

[Kristin]

I teared up watching the video. :$

[zxzero]

Didn't even watch the whole thing yet, but the first of it is really good. People do need to be aware of many things that the media and the Elites try to hide up, thanks to many people though it is slowly getting out, and people are starting to wake up from their dream world.

Edit:

Just watched it fully, and it was very good. Although when you want to solve something you need to tackle it at the root source.
Don't get me wrong what these people do is amazing, but it is like the game of monopoly, once he is out it will be a matter of time before someone else takes his place.

Regardless of what they do with their money, the point is that Kony needs to be stopped.

[fairydust201]

Kony is osama bin laden he came back from the dead & turned black & now is taking kids to get back at us from killing him in the 1st place XD lol

but for real if it is real he needs to be stopped

Don't be to quick to jump on the social media bandwagon [Only registered and activated users can see links] ([Only registered and activated users can see links])

Seems that they aren't so much what they hype themselves up to be.

[Jauris]

I really cannot stand this Kony BS at all. I really just need to stay the hell away from facebook for a while.

[Ronith]

I'll be honest. I can careless what is happening.

We should be focusing about the problems in our own country. Y'know ensure children have an education, maybe even a job -gasp-

Not this BS.

I can't say i can agree with you. I think this is an international problem, whether or not IC focuses on it, whether or not all our money goes to this cause.
I'd get into more detail but i hate risque debates like these over the internet. doesn't make for good relationships yes ?

-

I hate to contradict myself, but yeah, i've seen visiblechildren.tumblr.com as well, and it game be another opinion to IC. just the fact that only 30% of our funds will be contributed to the cause at hand turns me off from donating. Howvever, i still think getting the word out, especially to people of power - congressmen, political influences, the media - is really important.
In my opinion, this abduction of children is comparable to the holocaust. its just history that shouldn't be repeated again.

[Ronith]

Why donate if your donation is squandered my administration fees. Screw that.

There be dragons in the thread...
If you think about it 70% of their cash to advertise across northern countries is kind of expected.
People are greedy and t-shirts and transport or them dont come cheap as long as they are heard thats all that matters.

but this hole thing reminds me of the live strong fad back when I was 13
History repeats itself and since osama is dead we need someone to new hate.

Ironic how the video says he has no supporters, but somehow he still has power. And how Kony had been doing these things for 20 years, and no one cared.

[Chi]

Its completely and utterly pathetic.
People jump on the bandwagon without a single different perspective.

Thing Uganda is bad? Look at the whole continent. There are people killing each other because they are from different regions, different religions, different languages, different leaders. Its not new, its been happening for eternity. Getting rid of Kony won't change anything. Sure they catch one bad guy but the other bad guys just fill the empty void.

Why don't you look at all the warlords and dictators in other parts of the world too? The middle east is a prime example where shit goes on all the time and people don't give 2 cents because they're 'terrorists'

Hell, North Korea blatantly parades around as a suppressive, abusive, nazi-like dictatorship and has been doing so since the 1950/60's. Has anyone bothered to help the 3 million of its

While I think it's good that people are so willing to help out with a "good cause", I think it's extremely important that people stop and think critically about what they're doing/supporting. I actually support Visible Children's point of view not because I'm anti-KONY 2012 or anything like that, but because people need to think about the repercussions that their actions may have.

What worried me the most was the history of retaliation Kony's had -- the result of failed military interventions was the death of so many more children, and IC fighting for more military intervention seems to be counterproductive to me. Yes, Kony needs to be stopped, and yes, maybe IC does have good intentions, but does that mean you can just agree with everything you're given? No. School has taught us to be critical thinkers, along with life itself. It's times like these where we need to put those critical thinking skills to use, I believe.

Additionally, this KONY 2012 campaign seems to be attracting more and more people based on the fact that people are thinking "oh, xxxxxx likes it, so I should like it too". This social bandwagon idea is a big problem, and I can't stress enough over how important it is to be thinking about what you're supporting and what bad things can come out of it. I commend people for wanting to see change, but I don't think throwing your money at a sketchy organization is the right way to achieve it.

Just my opinion, of course.

[Ronith]

I think this sums it up.

I will go see this movie. It reallt sounds amazing. I want to help those kids.
I'm often asking myself if removing the boss will make a difference. I don't know. Like for drugs black market, killing the boss won't stop the gang. But we can't stop fighting...

[Chookity]

I watched the movie a couple of days ago, and dug around afterwards... Kony is a terrible human, but he's not really in power anymore. If he is caught/killed, his supporters will just take over and carry on, they're already doing that pretty much. It's nice to make people aware, but...still aren't going for the right solution.
