Vigneault's Timeout Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Amazing video with a great message. They've clearly defined goals and events have been made in cities (including Vancouver) to display this support. I'm attending the Vancouver event (April 20th 2012).

BurnabyJoe Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Beyond the fact we could finally get Kony. If this movement is successful, imagine what that means for humanity going forward. The change that is possible when we unite! The internet is truly a gift from god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denguin Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 God, this video is EVERYWHERE now. I haven't had the time to watch it yet (but strangely have had time to be on CDC), but it seems to be getting a lot of hype! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avicii Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Always get emotional at these kinds of things, almost brought me to tears. (Not this time though ) This man needs to be stopped. I doubt their expectations will be met with this whole operation, but hopefully we can help them enough where this man is captured and stopped.

Caboose Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm part of a group at my high school that raises money for Invisible Children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flockers Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 As much as the idea of the campaign is certainly great, I'm sure many of you would quickly think otherwise given Invisible Children's sketchy history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_children#Criticisms Great cause, but nothing will ever change. Invisible Children nets huge assets just by oversimplifying an extremely complicated situation in Uganda. Not to mention that by supporting this organization, you would be supporting an organization that advocates direct military intervention. I think we all know how that ended up last time. Oh yeah, and foreign aid has drastically ruined the Ugandan economy in recent years: http://www.worldpress.org/Africa/2074.cfm I'm seeing a lot of misguided people here just jumping into something they don't really know about.

Flockers Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I find it ironic that you're criticizing people for "not knowing" things when one of your main back-up sources is wikipedia. Did your teachers not educate you about how it is one of the most unreliable sources on the internet? The campaign is to make this guy famous through means of social media. Stop overcomplicating things. This criminal has committed crimes that breaches all forms of humanity and deserves to be killed. You know why things don't change? Because of idiots like YOU who choose to sit back, do nothing, and convince the people around you nothing is going to happen. It's the same type of attitude that people have when they don't bother voting because they think their vote won't make a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooker Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 From a realist perspective on this situation it's pretty hard not to look at it and not see the propaganda that it is. I saw this group when I was in high school about 5 years ago, a lot has changed in that region since then and actually Obama has put troops into the area. What else has changed in the 5 years is the geological findings of oil. It's a bit of cognitive dissonance to put into perspective that maybe this video is a liberal attempt to gain the public support, which it obviously has done quite well if you look at any Facebook newsfeed. However, it seems fishy that this group has been trying to muster up support for years and finally when Obama has put troops in the area it takes off in record amounts. Hate to be cynical, but it is the world we live in. http://www.whitehous...ent-pro-tempore http://www.foreignaf...e-lra?page=show http://www.whitehous...rthern-uganda-r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marleau_12 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Kudos to the guy who made this video, but I gotta say, it wasn't as powerful as I thought it would be. It kept me interested, yes. But I didn't find it to be very powerful. Maybe because I already knew who Kony was, unlike "99% of the world". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
