Fed up hearing about this fella on Facebook and the like. Millions of people barking on about this Invisible Children video. Apparently the same Invisible Children group have ties with Sudan People's Liberation Army, who are at war with Mr Joseph Kony. And of course these people are nice folk right? Wrong! They too use rape, torture & child soldiers to achieve their goals. A perfect example of propaganda. No one had heard about this fella until a few days ago and now I'm reading about dozens of my friends watching this video. Not that I'm saying the guy is an angel, is obviously a sick and twisted individual but why him? He has been doing this ****e since the 1980s. Why has this become an important issue now? So if you see anymore people jumping on the bandwagon and coming off with the "Get Kony!" OR "This is the most evil man in the world!" Remind them that they are judging all this on a 30 minute YouTube video based on 1 side of a conflict.
For once, I agree. ...and, for a supposed charity, apparently, they give very little to charity and, instead, spend most of it on salaries, travel and film-making. Kony's opponents use the same tactics but that's being ignored by people watching this emotion-grabbing claptrap on youtube. The guy and his gang do unspeakable things - this is true, but so do his opposite numbers. Proper propaganda
Of course its not wrong. But have you seen the video! A bunch of white kids running about America putting "KONY 2012" stickers on walls is gonna get rid of this fella! He has been doing what he does for about 30 years. Why the sudden interest now? Syria is getting shelled, Mugabes crimes have been forgotton for now, Somalia has been a ****in mess for 20 years with no hope for the future, yet this guy should be number 1 priority!?!
Yes, let's send British troops in to deal with this tyrant and make the country a better place....wait a minute
Have you seen the video. Have you heard the half wits calling for this guys head? The same fella they had never heard of 2 days ago. After a 30 minute video they want this guys head on a pike!
I agree, however, it's actually good to see kids getting interested in political movements ... We need more people to start sitting up and taking notice of worldwide events and if this campaign gets more teenagers interested/involved then fair play to it ... To many people sit back and do **** all! I'd love to see more of this across the world - maybe get some politicians sit up and take notice (which this campaign managed to do in America). It was a small change but one that was positive.
Have you lost your mind? We haven't got the money to waste good infantry on this despot. Send in a couple of paddys
After one interview calling Craig Whyte, who no one had ever heard of, a billionaire you lot wanted him knighted
