To the people ragging on the KONY 2012 campaign. How exactly are you making a difference? By trying to discredit the Invisible Children campaign? unfortunately not everything is free in this world so they obviously need spend money on things in order to spread the word. So if you're not going to spread the word at least don't hinder or discredit those who are ACTIVELY trying making a change.

Evan P 9 years in Iraq and now you want to send troops over to fight some guerrilla war (this will be Vietnam all over again) in the African jungle over some warlord who has been missing for almost 6 years?
Do people understand how these things work? We don't just have an awareness wand to wave around and suddenly Kony appears. No, this man has been hiding in a jungle in which no military has ever even imagined entering. The outcome of military intervention will be a blood bath. Do yourself a favour and research just how dangerous the Congo really is, oh and there are two Congo's, so please pick the right one.
The only difference you're making is bringing napalm back to war. But hey, you're ACTIVELY making a change, and all change is good right?

Lauren Parker True that sister! Unfortunately there will ALWAYS be resistance with any sort of change. Either way, good or bad, this movement is being talking about. That's what matters!!

Lauren Parker Well well. That's an opinion if I've ever seen one. I realize this "war" is a dangerous one. But the Kony 2012 is about awareness. Strength in numbers. Like I said, no matter what, change will always bring about some sort of resistance and that is evident all over Facebook and these blogs. I say: fair enough, do your research before you join the movement, but GOSH people are looking way too into this. We're bringing a deserving criminal to justice. This is proof that one voice can make a difference by means of the butterfly effect. There is a reason this man is the #1 criminal in the world. There is a reason his name is on the top of that list. He is a bad man. Also, it is inevitable that change requires monetary support. As if anything is free in this world. T shirts and bracelets are means of propaganda and they AREN'T FREE. so yes I understand why they're asking for money. It makes perfect sense. Rather than resisting this join the numbers and make a difference where we can. We are strong and have all the resources to make change for the future. Criminals and war lords like Kony must know that they cannot get away with these sorts of I humane killings any more.

Evan P That article destroys every single point you tried to make in your response. I don't know what else any one could possible say to convince people just how destructive this "movement" will be.
You're not creating peace or stopping a war criminal, you're creating a new battleground in which you know none of the implications.
Please, and I ask you sincerely, read that article again. I know you think you're helping, but you're not and it isn't pessimistic people trying to convince you of this, it's well-informed people who have been working on this issue since the beginning.

Evan P Well, lets go to the Congo and start a war then. Blood for blood, that's the pacifist way.

Lauren Parker Just another persons opinion. That's fine. We're all e titled to our own opinions. That's what makes the world a beautiful place. Our people are so educated that it's apparent that we will NEVER all agree. Just saying that our generation has the chance to make legitimate change. If this campaign truly works, it is proof that one small voice can make a huge difference not just locally but globally. It's inspirational to say the least. I say no more because I don' use Facebook to rant. Tata
