Invisible Children and Kony 2012
Does anyone here remember the documentary "Invisible Children"? I remember watching it in my freshmen year of High School and being utterly appalled by the atrocities humanity allows to continue. Now a new campaign is forming, its time to stand up and spread the word.
KONY 2012 - YouTube Once you watch, you can't forget, you must act.

Am I the only one who is suspicious about Invisible Children, the organisation behind Kony 2012? : DAE
Interesting.

Well then....seems I am an easily manipulated tool...hmm I think I may need to go home and rethink my life.
But in retrospect it could have been worse, I just spammed the video around, its not like I donated money or anything. Last edited by Cyvaris; 03-08-2012 at 02:34 AM.

It's an interesting concept, a new way to use viral marketing (for something more than consumerism for once).
Best of luck to them.

Kony was a monster, but from what I understand, some of the things the government/other powers there did were pretty monstrous too. Like they recruited child soldiers too. Also, I remember reading something about 600 people being gunned downed by some group, and in response to that, the LRA rose up. So no doubt the LRA has done horrible things, but there's more to it than that?

I wish I could take just one hour of what I experience out in nature, wrap it in a box, put a bow on it, and start handing out to people Nature has its own religion; gospel from the land I know I was born and I know that I'll die; The in between is mine."

It's not too common for millions of individuals from around the world to support a unified cause. So regardless of what that cause is, I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. And if the effect - ending a monstrosity - is the same, what does it matter if the support is motivated by fashion or sincere interest?

Who knows, maybe it will make some people become true social activists? Even if this will pass over most people, or most people forget about it after it gets them a few points with their friends, maybe a few will become inspired to make a life of helping to stop global atrocities beyond Kony? Or maybe I'm just giving people too much credit...
