im just wondering where all you bleeding hearts were when all this started years ago.

hmm, let's see...26 years ago I was working, married and raising a son and pregnant with another. There was no internet like today. There was no 'movement' to bring a war criminal to justice, no history of his violence to come. I was most probably living the American dream with my head up my arse...

but what has that got to do with NOW?

Right now all across various regions of Africa conflict is raging. Do you suggest we interfere in all of them? What about the poor children in Somalia starving to death daily? Should we kill all the warlords who stand between international food aid and those poor children?

Emotion is well and good but you're coming up short on an action plan here. What do you suggest we do? Kill Kony and make sure nothing happens on the ground? Afghanistan II: Electric Boogaloo?

Again. The IC is BRINGING AWARENESS OF THE #1 WAR CRIMINAL OF THE ICC THAT HAS DROPPED OFF THE RADAR, SO THAT HE CAN BE FOUND AND TRIED (NOT FOUND AND MURDERED) IN THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT (ICC). The IC also is helping victims in all the regions that have been brutalized by that man and others. I doubt they ask a victim "Kony do this?" and if the answer is no then they don't help them.
I really don't think the majority of the posters here watched the Kony 2012 video...they are just jumping on a bandwagon to argue.

*puts away the troll food*

-I- support the movement and will be making a donation. I do also make donations to Feed the Children, AIDS, Cancer Research and Wounded Warriors to name a few.
*PEACE*

Warriors who were wounded because people send them to fight in places they have no business fighting in.

I saw this earlier today on MSNBC. To their credit, they try to be as non-judgmental as they possibly can with this news item...

...the Newsvine comments section at the bottom, not quite so non-judgmental. :p

Wow.

This has been going on for years, and will continue as long as the US has interests in Africa (eg. the drug trade, valuable resources). Its all politics run by politicians and banks. No "movement" or a petition will stop that unfortunately

I don't know. They didn't believe that Super Saiyan kid, either, and that seemed pretty legit to me.

Izzybella, you've tied yourself up in one of the most obtuse instances of the motive fallacy I've ever seen. And regardless of that, people are speaking out against IC because of their injustices. If you actually want to make a difference, donate to a legitimate charity with concerns in central Africa.

Wow.

Sounds like he was on meth.

He's probably partying like a rock star with all that charity money he made.

Also it's 100% legal to pay yourself a million dollar salary while running a charity. That's why I never give to charity.

That kid just needed to build some rock hard muscle.

Russell's 30-minute documentary on Ugandan guerrilla leader Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army became a surprise mega viral hit, receiving over 80 million viewers since its release last week. But the film has also kicked up a backlash of criticism against the group, ranging from how Invisible Children spends its finances to whether it cut corners with the facts in order to create a more compelling film about a more than two-decade old Central African conflict.

But Invisible Children has also found many prominent defenders of its work, from members of Congress to President Barack Obama, who sent 100 U.S. special forces to Uganda last fall to search for Kony.

Yeah, its no wonder congress and the Pres is backing this up 100%

...in my eyes if God exists then he created us, he gave us the will to create weapons and the judgement of when the right time to use them is. If we have a call to arms to do something about this then we are using the very tools God intended us to have and to use for times just like this. (I am not religious btw)

You're implying that god gave us the will to make weapons to create war and the judgement to justify it? Doesnt sound like any god im aware of. And you're not religious? lol couldve fooled me

And for the record, i dont believe "god" created us, so by your rationalism imo he doesnt exist. And tbh, it would be better for his reputation of he didnt.

what does he care what you think of him?
