Kony 2012: PLEASE WATCH!!
« on: March 07, 2012, 05:13:44 AM »
Well as i was browsing the interwebs i fond this awesome cause. I am gonna try to get involved to this and i hope you guys here will be helpful in this support. I don't care if you just share the link to someone you know, as long as this IS known. There are thousands of children that where kidnapped buy this man JOSEPH KONY. He turned the girls into sex slaves and the boys into child soldiers. This hurts me because these kids' lives where ruined for the sake of power and blood lust. Please, I urge the active members and maybe a few admins know about this event and spread the word to people you know. Thanks you guys!

Well I guess that rules Rakia and I out.  :whistle:

However, I do agree that Kony needs to be taken down, preferably with a bullet to the brain, I'll send this along the family line I suppose.

What I find so creepy about this is that I had never heard of Joseph Kony before, and I didn't think it was that bad over in Africa.

And our media keeps yapping about celebrities' private life like it was important news. Disgusting. I will not stand idly by with this.

Keep calm and move along.

All I can say is that some time between 6 months to one year and 3 months I will be going to a place in a continent that has a "f" in it doing stuff that involves lead and brass.

Even knowing that. Its not enough to stop supporting this.

Kony still needs to go down. And awareness must be kept. This is about supporting taking Kony down, which is the message that needs to be spread.

I am not saying violence is the solution for everything.  But sometimes it is the only solution.  Most people will listen to reason, even drunks.  A normal leader would accept aid, trade, and further deals that would be beneficial.  Then you have people like Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that they are violent personalities that any friendly reasonable gesture is a insult to them and any violent one is a threat to there Alpha Male mentality.  So unfortunately the best options to deal with them is hitting them with a huge ass stick.
That's why honestly the best option to deal with Kony is to send in Seals, Green Berets, and so forth.  And if America doesn't want to help then its up to British SAS, German KSK and GSG9, and French GIGN to hunt the man down and put a bullet or two in this man's head because if we take him alive he won't get punished for his crimes.

Remember, "Speak softly and carry a big stick."

I think he actually will be punished if they take him alive. He is a rebel, and he's got the Ugandan army after him. I see no reason the Ugandan government wouldn't sentence him to death as fast as they could.

Keep calm and move along.

If Uganda would get him he would easily die by firing squad.  Its the UN getting him that I am worried about.

With how it looks right now, I don't see that happening. The Americans are simply giving the Ugandan army the means of finding him and bringing him in. If they started sending in actual soldiers meant to fight, then it might get a little more tricky.

Keep calm and move along.

Thank you for your response, Doctor. I am aware that the Invisible Children does not give all the proceeds to the actual cause. You do not have to waste all your money to the organization, but the point I wanted to give was that this man was out here and he must be stopped. The only way to do that is to get him known so people will let their government officials know about the cause as well. It is to remind us that when we have a loud enough voice, we will be heard.

Okay, I am confused right now on this subject. It now turns out that the very same guys who made the KONY 2012 video had an interview with Kony only a few days ago, where he said that hew as fighting the Ugandan government to "free the Ugandan people". So Kony does have a cause, and he was apparently not that hard to find. And when I look at pictures of Kony, I can't find a single one where I see a child with a gun. But I see a lot where he is around grown ass men in military uniforms, looking all serious.

This together with the fact that 66% of donated funds goes to Invisible Children to make more videos, I don't know who to believe anymore.

Keep calm and move along.

Here. I want you all to watch this movie. I have watched five more videos like this where they've said almost the exact same thing. And there are many more that I haven't watched.
Kony 2012 Video is Misleading

Welcome to the cause of the week. Kony is a monster. Great, and what about his dozen contemporaries in Africa over the past few decades? 'A good piece of emotional porn' as the first post in Tran's link points out is right. You want to fight for a cause? Find one at home to support directly instead of spending time and effort to capture an african warlord that's doing the same thing african warlords have been doing forever.

War is hell. People are monsters. And all the pampered first world activists and donations in the world will never change that by jumping on the bandwagon. Awareness is find and dandy, but look around where you are for problems before trying to fix ones on another continent.

Well said, but a lot of people, most of them Ugandans, say that Kony hasn't been active in Uganda for six years, and he may even be dead. The way I see it, this Kony 2012 is a really well-made scam.

Keep calm and move along.
