The U.S. already has 100 troops aiding Netherlands in their search for him (outside of Uganda) and this whole Invisible Children thing is such a ploy for Invisible Children to gain more profit. Only 32% of their earnings went to charity last year, the rest went on their rent in San Diego, film making, and a bunch of other selfish shit.
    It clearly says in the video that kony has left uganda and moved on. The only ones ignorant are the ones who act like they've seen the video but have not. 32 percent of a charities earnings going directly to benefit the children is a bad thing? Check many other large charities. You will find a very similar percentage. Please, don't act like you know what you're talking about.

    Thank you Andreas.

    This campaign will educate a lot of people who might have otherwise NEVER even thought about atrocities happening in Africa. That in itself is something to be celebrated.

    These people have spent a large portion of their lives trying to raise awareness about this. Are you surprised that they're spending money on making films?

    If you don't like what they're doing, then don't get involved... but to hate on it and try to convince people NOT to get involved seems incredibly selfish. Especially if you're not offering an alternative, better way of getting involved.

    I mean, basically this whole campaign is about raising awareness through celebrities, and writing/calling/talking to politicians so they know that people ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THESE ISSUES. How can that POSSIBLY be a bad thing?

    Honestly. This world is so sad. You try to help... and people complain you're not helping the right way. Then they spend time tearing you down rather than doing some building of their own.

    Kony is just another scapegoat for some preposterous scam imo. watch out for disinfo and know your facts.

    This Kony scenario is a perfect example of sheeple. very unfortunate to watch the masses do something for the greater good, yet be blinded for what may lie in the truth.

    If I were to keep going on Id be going into some conspiracy direction...so IM stopping now

    they had the right idea making this video viral; because the real problem is the US government nor NATO will not do anything about the real shit going on in the world unless that country is sitting on a natural commodity/gold mine. It is going to take videos like this to wake ppl up from the mass media blindfold and actually write their congressmen and others to react to the non-petrol disturbances across this planet that outweighs any price of gas that is obviously legally gouged through fake legislation and profits for all. Robert Mugabe has been a threat for a long time- as was Kim Jong Il up until he died; and we did nothing about those repressions. Now we are passively waiting for the fat kid in north korea to eat himself to death instead with the same rationale of the drugs/guns from the south border direct to us, " theyll just OD or kill themselves so they will weed themselves out eventually....that is all good in theory but how many innocent ppl have to get massacred for idealism to become reality. It wont. If the government cant even handle the so called " war on drugs" they have funded themselves for the past 30 years; they sure as hell cant handle the "war on terrorism" they have funded for the past 10.

    First off, blaming religion for this is pretty much retarded and simplistic.
    While religion opens up a whole big bag of shit when it come to problems,
    the ones in Africa for example aren't specifically related to religion.
    We have known about the "Atrocities in Africa" for a very long time, but
    as they aren't a big economic interest to us we pretty much turn a blind eye.
    By us I mean the United States. We pretty much get involved when God
    is concerned, money is concerned, or you shit on us too much.

    Most of the shit going on in the various African countries is still a bunch
    of Tribal fubaristic shit that has been going on as long as the dumbshits
    in the Middle East have argued over who controls a "Holy" pile of sand.

    This KONY 2012 virus is just another ploy by parasites to prey on simple
    minded people who have good intentions. If you really want to make a
    difference in the world, then I suggest helping yourself, your family,
    your community, and working up from there. Wearing some fucking hippie
    wrist band and slapping some stickers on a bench isn't going to do jack shit,
    but take money out of your wallet. Fin.

    the only problem with that monk, is that most people are idiots and won't take the time into researching other problems with the world knowing they're helping some kids in africa.

    the real issue that needs to be dealt with first is that there is somebody out there weazing all of our natural juice resources,. before we can save Africa we have to find the terror on our land,. and stop the one they call Stoney from depleting of our precious juice.

    Bush and Blair are responsible for over a million killed civilians in Iraq including children and women, why don't they make a movie about them and deal with war criminals at home first.
