KONY 2012, This should be seen, by everyone
aerobro:
I completely agree with what Don brings up. The organization is using first world peoples grief so that they will send in donations. Only 30% of those donations go to building schools and helping in Africa. The rest going in their pockets.
I like that they are bringing up a major problem, but the way that are doing it makes me sick.

kind of like donating for cancer awareness....and mostly just awareness. (livestrong)

The point of this whole thing is to spread public awareness, obviously. The donations aren't the entire cause, but the public's awareness of the situation can make a huge impact... Sure, the government may know about the situation in Africa, and who's doing what, but no action is ever taken in any government unless the government has the support of the people. If people show interest in somehow helping in Africa, in a very large scale, then things WILL be done. So, their cause is still completely legitimate. And for what Don's saying about the LRA probably still not even being active and shit, obviously, there's a lot of trouble in Africa and the LRA isn't the only problem. I don't live in Africa. I don't truthfully know what happens there. Truthfully, you don't either. But the main point of what I'm saying is that there are obviously still BIG issues in Africa where help should probably be given in some form. But if the LRA wasn't any longer active, A) the government would obviously know that, and no action would be needed there, but B) there are still plenty of other issues to be dealt with, of similar circumstances.

Pretty much what don said.
This is overreacted.He could be easily stopped. A lot of groups like "invisible people" claim that they are a non-profit group who gives the money for charity, NO.I'm sure he got a few thousands of dollars for that.
There aren't many of these groups which are real.
(Also I'm pretty sure that, this is just some made up story.This "KONY" probably doesn't exist.However I haven't done any research on him so I don't know.)

Lol, if Joseph Kony didn't exist in the first place, there would be TONS of controversy over this propaganda, and it wouldn't be as popular as it is. And no, it's not easy to stop someone like this? That's like saying it was extremely easy to stop Bin Laden, who obviously, directly impacted the US, so he had the FULL attention of US and the citizens, yet it still took a decent amount of time to get him.
