Bought my wife & I some t-shirts, the bracelet, & donated some dough...We've donated to the Invisible Children's Fund a lot over the years. It's very close to our hearts being the parents of a beautiful 8 year old boy. It hurts my soul & heart knowing these children & those like them all around the world have to live like this...I hope they finally get Kony. It's sad that he's been in power for so god damn long. It sickens me...

Where's the "aid" and "outcry" over this?
Exactly what I am thinkingOriginally Posted by WhatsLosinLike

Crazy support has to be won to help others instead of giving freely.
thanks man... probably the most high level conversation I have had with 8th graders in my career while analyzing all the aspects of the videoOriginally Posted by HAM CITY

I'm all about taking a stance and making a change, but what about our domestic issues? Where is the video highlighting our growing adolescent obesity? or our declining higher education rate?
Before we can attempt to change another country we have to fix home first. Where was all the foreign support when Katrina hit? But when Japan needed relief for the tsunami we were wiring money mid wave.
I understand that we have duties to help other alie countries, but it seems its a give and take relationship. This video reminds me of the eldery man who is fighting the slaughtering of dolphins in Japan. You put so much effort into helping a animal how about your fellow man?
Maybe for 2012 our youth should make you-tube videos about the change needed in our own country...
And lastly the cleaver move to show the "pyramid" upside down as if we are the majority...in a nation where 99% is a minority.

Disapprove of all of this if you guys want to, but don't bash the people who actually believe in this. IC has a whole page dedicated to answering most of the questions in here. Go check it out if you're still skeptical.
man, it's not even that.Originally Posted by tkthafm
Hey guys look at me. I just watched a sad video, and without any shred of knowledge of Uganda's history or the current geopolitical situation in Africa, I believe every word and I'm going to be totally activist about it. Let's totally like, send US troops in, that'll like, solve it. Yeah!
I'm awesome.
