its the world we live in, its all about money and how everyone can screw everyone for a dollar, so sad but its the truth.

it really makes me sad to see what ppl turned out to be ( and i am not saying we all are like this but just in general)

It is an unfortunate trait of all livin things, lano!!!!!

The instinct of survival!!!!!

i agree with you 110%

^ Why should it matter if people object to Kony’s actions, but aren’t sure where Uganda is?

Because people should actually do some research on a topic they are “passionate about” before spamming it out to hundreds of people online…

+1

So sick of people spamming me about this…

Can’t be bothered reading back to see if this has been mentioned, but the organisers of this viral campaign have questionable histories with donated money….

I personally think it’s amazing that they can have 100 troops deployed with just the power of media. Seriously awesome.

But I just heard that they have raised 14 MILLION dollars for this charity.
If the yanks can’t get it done with 100 grunts, why don’t they just hire some bad ass highly skilled mercenaries?
SHIIIIT for 14 mil I’ll go in there myself.

Offer one million to the first man in his army that just turns and shoots him. Shit, put a shout out to the whole army that they get 10 million US to divide amongst them and take home to their families. All they have to do is cap their leader and then lay down their guns and meet me at the pub.

Just a thought.

Thats where your wrong. these “troops”, intelligence personnel they actually are. Were already over there before this Phoney 2012 idea was even thought of.

Really?! That’s messed up if it’s true. Where did u read that?

Honestly though. I know they are probably wasting the donation money to a large degree. But if the guy eventually gets what’s coming to him then thousands will be better off and all the rich white people can still eat tonight after donating 10 bucks.

i agree with you 100% that this guy deserves to get tortured and killed slowly (yeh, yeh say that makes us no better then them but i dont care) but they way there want to go about it is all messed up. The us government has been trying to capture him for a long time, every time he gets away then retaliates by killing thousands of innocent people. This has happened at least 6 times…

This groupo want to send in the Ugandan army (which has a shocking human rights record themselves) to kill him. all this is going to do is end up with thousands, upon thousands of more deaths with out solving the problem.

Apparently he hasnt been in Uganda for 6 or so years anyway, and apparently the LRA have pretty much disbanded around the same time. but i cant back this up as i only just heard it this arvo.

If you watch the video (which i havent) they tell you that they need attention to keep the officials there, the US government sent them over ages ago.

Sure, as long as it’s relevant “research”. The actual location of Uganda is largely irrelevant.

its a start for these brain dead idiots that just pass on shit they see on facebook and pretend to be all outraged and want to change the world…

I agree that there’s FAR too much ignorant bandwagon jumping going on already - like that idiotically misdirected “Mr. Daisey and the Apple Factory” beatup that’s been doing the rounds recently. However, if people are going to research (as they SHOULD), it’s best to stick to facts that are actually relevant to the case, and in the big scheme of things, the ability to locate Uganda on a map is WAY down the list.

In other words, make your research count. More time on Google, less time on Google Maps.
