Actually, if you knew a bit about history it is all the White Man's fault. In the colonial days European countries were invading Africa and destroying it for resources, and as soon as they were done they just left it a trainwreck. The African's have done nothing to put themselves in a bad state, and they can't do much to get out. That is why they need our help.

they also haven't done anything to put themselves into a good state. i'm not saying we shouldn't help them, i think we should, i'm just saying they need to help themselves. now before people come in and say they can't they're helpless and whatever other excuses there may be, i'm just going to say this. the people in Africa have the ability to stand up for themselves and others to help their own communities out. they obviously can't do it alone, but with caring people from all over ther world giving them a hand, the Africans need to take matters into their own hands and figure out a way to save themselves from this vicious cycle. it's not impossible. sometimes money isn't the most important way to donate. time, effort, and ideas go a long way.

How about you act like a $#@!ing descent human being then? Is it really that odd to care about what another human, hell a child, is going through right now? Watch the $#@!ing video for christ's sake. It isn't even about money!

The fact you judged the video without even watching it, or even finding out what they were asking for is pathetic.


They already have. They have passed several bills dealing with him and his affairs directly


Oh really, care to show that little fact?

Look, I'm all for being guarded and skeptical about things that catch fire so quickly, but this entire movement has the potential to really spark something far more important than capturing one criminal. It will highlight the ridiculous selfish nature of the American governments foreign policy, it will expose that for these people to be heard, they had to put themselves at great risk, spend lots of their money and EIGHT years of their lives to get them to listen. As much as I would like to support the abused nations such as this, I realize perfectly well that the best way to help them is by helping ourselves first. Under current economy industrial countries profit from developing countries and have ended up in slave-master relationships. As tragic as it is, providing knowledge, information and means of protecting themselves would be unprofitable to industrial countries and even dangerous to status quo from the militant perspective. There's no one but ourselves and our system to blame for the atrocities and poverty that goes on in this world. In my opinion simply the most overlooked fact in the world is that the right course of action is most often not to fight the problem itself, but to stop that which is causing it.Despite all the commercialism and money revolving around the Kony -movement, I am sure that these people mean well. I agree that people such as Joseph Kony need to be removed from position of power, however, making that an agenda for U.S. Military would be just another Saddam Hussein or Muafar Gaddafi chase. America is intervening too much into affairs of other countries as it is. If we wouldn't see everything as a competition, we would be helping these people to establish their own working governments with the power to protect their own citizens. What I think happened with the whole Kony movement is that originally it was a well intended, but that at some point U.S. military decided to rush in and use it for their own goals. It's plausible that the organization saw it as a helping hand, unaware of participation into another war game.

An actually well thought, intelligent analysis in the negative to it.

Here's to Loonyology!
And a video by some college kids living life luxurious in America is going to make the slightest bit of difference? Please.

The high crimes courts have been after him since 2005.
President Obama sent over 100 special trained troops in 2009, to no avail.
Various countries have been searching for him for years with no luck what so ever.
He's pulled out of numerous peace treaties, mainly because he doesn't want peace.
He's imposing the ten commandments on people and trying to create a christian state, using means no worse then that of the western world when they want something done.

And the list goes on to be honest. Where are the internet videos about Homs and the thousands of innocents being killed there? Or about the civil war ongoing in Somalia? Or maybe the albino families being persecuted, killed and their body parts used in voodoo rituals and potions in Tanzania?
I find short videos like this one a joke and they bare absolutely no relevance to their target. I was reading in to the film makers and their lack of knowledge about the place, the people they spoke to and their general lack of understanding for making a film. Their budgets were abused and monies paid out to dodgey people, on top of other things. I think this short film is more of an personal accolade and achievement than what it's set out to be.

Do people who are promoting this video think it will have any affect on Joseph Kony? I want to know what you are trying to accomplish by promoting this video.

Well said. I've seen it all over "Kony 2012". Like, how manys time before or after the video have you/are you going to thought/think about the Ugandan Children and Kony?

Do people think he's going to be all like "Shit, all the people don't like me. Guess I better hand my self in because of the effect 'Kony 2012' has all over facebook and youtube". No. Your words mean jack shit to bringing this guy down. The only reason people write it and claim to "support" it is because it take minimal effort to tap 9 keys on a keyboard and sit and watch a 30 min video. Like Como said, powerful people have been after him for years and years and go no where, yet all of a sudden writing Kony 2012 and posting various articles about him will make the slightest difference? Also like Como said, what about the other places on Earth where shit like this is happening. Syria, Somalia, Sierra Leone to name a few. Or even Africa and their famine and drought. If people really want to show they support things that go viral on the internet, why not get out and join a charity that helps people in situations like this rather than thinking you can make a difference to sitting at a laptop looking like you support it?

Infected: That is completely beside the point, the point is to get the American government to step in and do something, for the first time in history possibly, because it's RIGHT, and not in the "Best Interest of our nations Economy or national security", but to actually help people who can't help themselves.

You may argue that we've helped the middle east and blah blah, but truth is, they wouldn't even have gone over there if it weren't for Oil. Who's to say that Kony won't be as bad as a terrorist organization if he isn't caught before he gets too powerful? Personally, if there was a lick of oil in Uganda, we'd have been over there years ago.
