KONY 2012!! is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but kris2121: EVERYONE PLEASE WATCH THIS ITS FOR A GOOD CAUSE!! PLEASE SPREAD IT AROUND EVERYONE PLEASE WATCH THIS ITS FOR A GOOD CAUSE!! PLEASE SPREAD IT AROUND EVERYONE PLEASE WATCH THIS ITS FOR A GOOD CAUSE!! PLEASE SPREAD IT AROUND EVERYONE PLEASE WATCH THIS ITS FOR A GOOD CAUSE!! PLEASE SPREAD IT AROUND EVERYONE PLEASE WATCH THIS ITS FOR A GOOD CAUSE!! PLEASE SPREAD IT AROUND StuckInTheSixties: This is fine to have a thread for this cause, but please don't spam other threads with this as you've been doing. It's like spray painting grafitti, even if the message is good. It's very disrespectful to other users. Please stop spamming this on other threads. Perdurabo: Hmmmmm. Oil has just been recently discovered in Uganda. Coincidence? Please do your research before subscribing to a slick youtube video just because all your Facebook friends are doing the same. Spamming YouTube videos because it's the latest trend to do so does not make you an activist. It just makes you a soulless media manipulated puppet. (Edited by Perdurabo) Perdurabo: Thanks for ur comment. I was just trying to highlight that these situations are not as one dimensional as they appear to be from a youtube clip or a Facebook feed. They tend to be enormously complex. Do the people who are spamming these vids everywhere realise that the group behind the videos are in favour of direct military intervention? Much of the money raised by this group is donated to the Ugandan military who themselves are behind countless rapes and murders? Awareness for a good cause is great. But research needs to be done.People shouldnt be supporting Kony 2012 just because its trending on Facebook or Twitter. 'Giving your money and public support to Invisible Children so they can spend it on supporting ill-advised violent intervention isnt gonna help.' AgustoBerlin: KONY 2012 is propaganda !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oil Oil Oil Uganda has a lot of Oil like Saudi Arabia!!!

(Edited by oooREDEYEooo) veronica: Kony 2012 Producer Arrested For Public Masturbation San Diego police say the Invisible Children co-founder was taken for a mental evaluation. veronica: One of the men behind the Kony 2012 video that went viral this week was arrested in California on Thursday night on charges of public drunkenness and masturbation, a local NBC affiliate in San Diego reports. Local police say that Jason Russell, the 33-year-old co-founder of Invisible Children, appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol when he was found by officers "in his underwear" allegedly vandalizing cars and masturbating in public, NBC San Diego reports. "He was no problem for the police department however, during the evaluation we learned that we probably needed to take care of him," a police spokesperson said at a Friday press conference. "So officers detained him and transferred him to a local medical facility for further evaluation and treatment." Russell is one of the founders of the San Diego-based nonprofit behind Kony 2012, a documentary film about Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army. Invisible Children had been trying for years to focus the world's attention on Kony—who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for enlisting child soldiers, among other crimes against humanity—but, after it struck viral gold, the group came under increased scrutiny for how the film portrayed the situation on the ground and how the nonprofit group spent its money. Invisible Children released a statement on Friday afternoon after the news of Russell's arrest broke: "Jason Russell was unfortunately hospitalized yesterday suffering from exhaustion, dehydration, and malnutrition. He is now receiving medical care and is focused on getting better. The past two weeks have taken a severe emotional toll on all of us, Jason especially, and that toll manifested itself in an unfortunate incident yesterday. Jason’s passion and his work have done so much to help so many, and we are devastated to see him dealing with this personal health issue. We will always love and support Jason, and we ask that you give his entire family privacy during this difficult time." Its a braking story , just google it and you can see for yourself (Edited by veronica) Comrade_: I get that some people want to help but you have to think and understand other people's culture. You have to understand the situation because it is a lot deeper than a few minute long youtube vid. oooREDEYEooo: 'OH THE PRESSURE OF BEING A HUMANITARIAN' YouTube YouTube oooTHE-MENTAL-LEADING-THE-MENTAL-EYEooo (Edited by oooREDEYEooo) oooREDEYEooo: 'HOW THOUGHT PROVOKING' ..."As is not the art of discussion and/or art of conversation in general to enlighten...bring on the facts...much appreciated...and never bow unless proved wrong or stupid...and even then...it nonetheless is a fact sharing session is it not...be it by whatever medium...or thought provoking entity of, in this case, text and/or video"... oooAS-WILL-ALWAYS-ABIDE-BY-THE-MOST-COMMEN-OF-COMMONERS-VIEW-EYEooo PS : '...regardless of her pop lip lisp as may seem to some uneducated drift...' | Politics Chat Room 90 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
