Watched this video today in my accounting class. Amazing that stuff like this is going on and I have never even heard about it.

$$#%% had me hype earlier but after looking into this a bit further, Im not comfortable w/ where my donations would be going. Too large of a percentage goes to other things. Im glad this issue (and the general plight of some of these nations) is getting its 15mins but, it just doesnt feel authentic.


(Im all abt that civil disobedience on April, 20th though)

Aren't we technically making him INFAMOUS and not Famous?

 

[whph10]

I feel bad for this Kony guy. Got a bunch of losers breathing down his neck and tarnishing his reputation cause it's the hip thing to do. I'm not refuting the alleged claims against him, but I'm upset that people see a 30 minute video and are led to believe they should donate money, mostly cause everyone else is doing it. This type of ignorance and naivety makes me fear for my safety.

You cornballs are gonna be out rocking your bracelets on some, "Hey, look at mine!" ..."Aww, man, I got one too"

$%!#'s gonna disappear from the media and society, and you guys who care so much will go back to being the selfish bastards you've always been. External growth is impossible without internal growth. Go read a book, ignoramuses. Instead of jumping from cause to cause.

You watched it in accounting yet didn't look at their financial statements?  The irony

To back up what I was talking about last night.

On Kony 2012: I honestly wanted to stay as far away as possible from KONY 2012, the latest fauxtivist fad sweeping the web (remember “change your Facebook profile pic to stop child abuse

 

[odog24]

i cant believe how people fall for these scams and propaganda so quickly

there have been africans suffering and being killed for hundreds of years and now people are starting to care????

uganda has oil and people want it so this can be used as a cover to invade uganda and give them "freedom" the same way afghanistan and iraq are receiving "freedom"

what a load of dog crap

its sad and just shows how easy it is to convince the people

How can you use a line like "External growth is impossible without internal growth." and call people who support this cause "ignoramuses?"

Ah, the usual "i dont have a legit response so ill retort w/ another insult" routine 

your attempt to come off as "enlightened" with your response is nullified by you coming in here and insulting those who believe something that you dont support.

im not one for going back and for because i really dont care if my posts are re quoted with 

 or 

. so you can come back w/ another insult, or just dismiss me in an attempt to not seem so emotionally involved in the convo- i wont respond.

This.
Invisible Children has been around for years. I remember they visited my hs years back and none of the kids gave a $$+!. Now after this video, the same kids who  didn't care are blowing up twitter showing their support and claiming they're donating 

Nonetheless this is a good cause. It's about time the US act on something bc it's right rather than thinking of any selfish benefit.

Never thought I'd see the day someone says, "You know, I feel bad for that African warlord."

I never thought I'd see the day when someone would not believe they would see the day someone says, "You know, I feel bad for that African warlord."

It's as much a novelty for me as it is for you

You people are #$%#%%$ idiots. You watch a 30 minute video and suddenly fighting for the cause.


Watching that Kony video is essentially watching old news. They started filming in 2003, and northern Uganda has been free of LRA violence and war for over five years. In fact, the LRA have signed a peace accord! They are rebuilding and are restoring the peace.

Yes the leader is still out there however the recruitment of children has decreased 80%. This isn't due to the Invisible Children organisation, its because Ugandan military and the ICC have intercepted. The Invisible Children group are trying to pass a bill that allows America to militarise the region... They are providing misinformation to woo idealistic followers. The group have combined multiple regional conflicts to make it appear that this is one rapidly increasing issue. When confronted about their dodgy tactics, the head spokesperson stated;
“I agree with you that leading people to believe that the war is still happening in Uganda is not ethically right. It's something we've been addressing internally, focusing on getting all staff and supporters on the same page (of communication)."

If you read the news, or even had an ounce of interest in the on-going unrest in Africa you would already know this and not be fooled. Yes, awful things happen to people in 3rd world countries but this has been occurring for centuries, it isn't a recent occurrence.

SOURCES: Michael Kirkpatrick, a long-time Independent Global Citizen, he has resided in Uganda and other regions of Africa. He has no political, religious or financial agenda. He wrote this article and gave an in-depth insight to whats really going on. He also questioned important members of Invisible Children about their motives. http://www.blackstarnews.com/news/12...010-06-02.html

Charity Navigator is a website that breaks down the proceeds and donations given to Invisible Children and subsequently shows what percentile of that is REALLY going towards these impoverished kids. A measly slither of what is going into the founders pockets.http://www.charitynavigator.org/inde...ry&orgid=12429


ADDITIONALLY - There were members of Invisible Children were saying what their "allowance" could purchase them, it was on a forum on the official website, and this has also been REMOVED. http://blog.invisiblechildren.com/?p=5901
