There's nothing I need to say but watch it, and share it with everyone you know, everywhere.
IT'S IMPORTANT.
I have already begun sharing this vid everywhere~
I want Kony stopped. Never have I ever been so angry about something that basically doesn't concern me.
I can agree to that...
Goddamn infectious Internet... how does it work?
Everyone's talking about this, we don't need to make a meme and shit out of it - catch the guy and that's it.

This. Sounds like some hacktivist movement thing to me...
It's a video that tells you about Kony, a guy who is responsible for the kidnapping of over 30,000 children, which are usually either raped, fucked up, or given a gun and forced to kill their own families. The video then outlines ways in which you can help something be done about it.
it's completely legit.
Well, for those who don't know, here's a short summary that my friend gave me this morning:
"Kony is a person who is a bit twisted. He trains boys to murder and trains girls towards prositution and sells them. March 5th was the day that this started. It was a live broadcast and stuff. "
^ That's all I could remember of the Kony thing she told me about. I was gonna tell it on the forum, but looks like my work is done! -shotdead-
but yes, this is completely legit.
And he hasn't been arrested...why?

That would cost money jkid. And if the Obama administration's shown anything, it's that it won't be helping with anything unless they're making a profit.
Which would leave it to small rebel groups and grassroots movements to deliver any justice. Unfortunately the aforementioned groups don't have jurisdiction to detain or dispatch another human being, thereby making it illegal for them to step in. However if we can raise awareness to the point where the government can't ignore us, we can make a difference.
I've already spread this video around, I suggest you do the same.
I find it hard to believe one guy kidnapped 30,000 children without the government doing something about it.

That's the thing, your fucking government doesn't two two flying fucks about this jackass because it doesn't fucking concern your own country. We're MAKING it everyone's problem, just so we can convince you lazy-ass excuses for a government to get in there and fucking help out. This bullshit- The guy and his pack of rebels fucking up the lives of every child they can find- is just sick, and it's been going on for years and years, with your government -literally- REFUSING to help until it was ANYTHING to do with you.
So get off your ignorant ass and help out.

Why don't your governments do anything about it? And spreading "the word" to people who have already heard it isn't going to do a damned thing.
I don't think what's going on is right (I was misinformed when I wrote my last post because of your lazy ass summary, so thanks) but all I can do has already been done by other people. Even still, I doubt anyone with the power to do anything will give a flying fuck.

because your government likes to say what we all can and can't do. Are you totally okay with the fact your Gov't almost flat out refused to do anything?
See, that's the kind of mentality that is just plain ignorant and stupid.

Am I OK with it? Not really. But at least I can accept it as the truth.
Talking only works when people are willing to listen and as it stands congress is more focused on other things. I'm to lazy to give a shit what they are but "for the people, by the people" died a long time ago. It's been about 12 years and despite our pleas to stop we're still "helping" people in Afghanistan who clearly don't want to be helped.
I'm not spreading the word because I feel that the effort is pointless. The people I know on Facebook have probably already heard it from you or here and my family is either too poor to help or just doesn't give a shit.

Actually he's right. It's not in an irreparable socialist state yet, but this administration is more controlling than any other, I don't know if you remember that mandatory contraception mishap last month, but that was completely unconstitutional. Though it was obvious Obama couldn't care less about the constitution in 2009.
Still, the government doesn't care about facebook or twitter, the only way we're gonna shove this down their throats is with action, so if we need to start some protests, hang some posters, or make some calls to get their attention that's what should be done. I'm fairly sure half the people in congress barely even know how to send an email.
I agree with both of you to some extent.

The idea of spreading the video is so as many people as possible can take part in the operation. I for one will be getting the kit and doing my part and there's many in my state alone I've see sign the pledge.

Lately the US seems like it's trying to control the world rather than save it. I've always been for the idea that the world needs to have a single government but I can't currently name one I'd like to see take over, much less the US.

It's only been a day and I'm already tired of hearing about it.
*Facepalm*
Lol, guys is an argument ~really~ necessary? x3
I'm trying to do my part I'm gonna organise a fundraiser at my school, I'm also planning on getting the kit.
I showed it to my family and they too, agreed to help me out. Now all that's left is for me to stop talking about it and actually take action >_< lol

Copy pasted from some other place:
Of the $8.9 million they [Invisible Children] spent in 2011, this is the breakdown:
$1.7 million in US employee salaries
$357,000 in Film costs
$850,000 in Production costs
$685,000 in Computer equipement
$244,000 in "professional services" (DC lobbyists)
$1.07 million in travel expenses
$400,000 in office rent in San Diego
$16,000 in Entertainment etc...
Only 2.8 million (31%) made it to their charity program (which is further whittled down by local Ugandan bureaucracy) - what do the children actually get?
Great group of people. Definitely will be buying a kit from them so I can give them my money!

just like many other organisations...nothing new here.
As I understand it, the charity's only periphery to their cause. The point is to get publicity. The money's a bonus.
There was a big chalk ad for this on the sidewalk near the campus student center.

What's gonna happen is that this will put more power in the Ugandan army (that is if this works) - making the war even worse for a few months.
Until he gets executed. There will be no mercy.
Things get worse before they get better. Do you think the people there would be willing to go through an even worse period of war if it would end the war?

This, and major support for Nintendo, and any other developers that not only make righteous games, but also show respect to their fans, like the developers of Rayman Origins and The Witcher 2
we're like in the EXACT same boat then, I love developers that care about their games and respect the fanbase, which basically sums up indies, but also nintendo and some devteams under garbage companies.
Like ubisoft. I can't stand ubisoft. But the team that did Rayman Origins was a small team in france made of five people, who submitted their idea to ubisoft, and ubisoft probably thinking something along the lines of "more money for us" accepted and hired the team to work at Montpellier.
Basically any developer who likes games. I hate activision and EA with a burning passion for the reason that they really don't care about what they make. However certain teams under those companies like Criterion actually enjoy gaming, and put out a good product, while staying connected with the fanbase.
Also we're off topic, but nobody here really cares about kony2012 anyways :P
KONY 2012 kinda killed itself anyways
If the founder was able to control his testosterone levels a bit better, people might still be able to respect the cause.
