He has been doing this for 26 years and africa is still over populated? Kony recruit new born then killed and respawn like creeps just keep on coming trying to help the world not to become over populated. God is already helping us to have aids originate from there so population does not over grow like mold growing on a bagel.

It's too funny to not share this on RS. She made this post after I posted a meme mocking the Kony thing.

isn't it common knowledge this shit always happens in africa and always will?

i find it scary that people are finding this out for the first times in their lives... what the fuck do they do on their spare times? lol watch the kim kardashian show?

shouldn't any late teen or young adult, already KNOW this shit is happening? this shouldnt be new knowledge in any way or form.

aids, warlords, child solders, and more aids... and lions.

what else is new in africa?

oh and a little english lession:

INFANTtry.

you wonder how they came up with that word huh

Ronin 03-08-2012 12:54 PM

Oh great, another Occupy Vancouver maybe?

I only have so much room for things to care about and this just isn't one of them.

gdoh 03-08-2012 12:56 PM

occupy movement was a far better cause than this, but it got derailed fast by stupid hippies that didnt really understand what it was for

rsx 03-08-2012 01:54 PM

lol my posts are getting deleted on the KONY2012 Cover the City Facebook page. What a bunch of dinks!

Presto 03-08-2012 01:56 PM

make a post and tag them in it!

mikemhg 03-08-2012 02:00 PM

I'm just tired of the culture of followers Facebook as twitter created. People don't think anymore, they see some viral shit and jump on the bandwagon without thinking. People post the video to feel good about themselves, they could give a flying fuck at the end of the day, you know I'm right. Kony has been killing for decades, what about Mugabe now? What about Idi Amin during his time? There are war crimes in happening right now in Sudan, Liberia, Congo you name it in Africa.

The Kony video while nice to spread awareness, does fuck all to solve the problem. Ya maybe Kony will finally get killed, maybe not. But you know what? There will be another Kony to take his place, and we will all forget yet again. The truth is Africa doesn't matter to the western world this video is viral now but no one will be saying Kony in a few weeks. Enough with the false support, killing one flea won't fix the dog. Tribalism needs to die in Africa. Africa needs education, economy, and most of all the end of the tribalist mentality. No country in Africa is remotely unified, a friend in a different tribe that lives maybe 10 minutes from you can be a sworn enemy when civil war erupts. If Uganda had any sense of unity within its people a guy like Kony could never exist.

Another boycott? :troll:

Those who truly believe in this, In my opinion, is at a total loss and have not done their research. Or, like LP, believe it and their brain just blocks out contradicting information.
But I can't say I'm totally against it. I'm sure I'd feel different if I've experienced this sort of thing or looked at these kids in the eyes. Its perspective, no?
Kill the leader, and another will pop up. Cut the people supporting, the guns, fuel, weapons, and what will he have?
Kony2012 helps to spread awareness, but like mike said, it does fuck all to solve anything. IC is gonna make a lotta money...

Kinda off topix, but I've read 4billion dollars have gone to africa in aid in the past few decades. Where does It go? Organizations and corrupt gov'ts, or the wrong things. They need an education, being able to support and think for yourself without the fear of walking around and getting shot. No matter how educated they are, if they're supressed by their surroundings, how are the educated ones supposed to make a change? They need to get rid of their corrupt govt and end all the rivalries n such
I don't want to call certain people stupid and dumb, but for lack of words, they are.

You know what's really funny though? You see these gay hispters posting this KONY crap to support the Ugandan government "find" this asshole, meanwhile the government in Uganda are passing laws to make homosexuality a punishable offense with death. I find that shit really amusing.

Technically...
Uganda Anti-Gay Bill Gets Government Resistance

tl;dr -->

KAMPALA, Uganda -- Uganda's government does not support a parliamentarian's decision to reintroduce a bill that originally proposed the death penalty for some homosexual acts, the government said in responding to renewed criticism by rights activists who oppose the bill...

mikemhg 03-08-2012 02:49 PM

The only reason the Ugandan government pulled back was due to international pressure, and the threat of International Aid being pulled back.

The president himself supported the bill man:

"Uganda's president Yoweri Museveni openly expressed his support for the bill, stating "We used to say Mr and Mrs, but now it is Mr and Mr. What is that now?""

Did you know that same sex relationships are illegal in Uganda, and is punishable with jail time?

None of this really matters to me, as Africa as a whole has a lot more problems thanhan this, I just find it funny seeing hipsters supporting a government that in itself is commiting crimes no different than KONY.

Which goes back to my first point. RESEARCH. LEARN. Before supporting bullshit like this.

If you're not stupid enough to fall for a silly trend on facebook and give your money to a meaningless cause, but still want to help one of the many crises in Africa, check out this list:

This is a 100% scam to destabalize the area and kick the chinese out. The area is known for rare precious metals for electronics use.
