  1. Sent 200 tweets and Facebook posts
     
  2. Bought 7 action packs! And 4 tshirts
     
  3. Wowhe evil but im debating with somebody who is worse kony or hitler i not sure
     
  4. He's actually abducts children everyday, use the girls for sex slaves and uses the boys to be a soldier. A man ( I forgot his name! ) made up a project to everyone to arrest Joseph Kony. This is called Kony2012.

    Kony's army of children are called the LRA. I think there is a new hitler.
     
  5. Yeah, I heard about it this afternoon. Then I come on here and you guys are talking bout it. Weird.... 
     
  6. Guys please do not send ANY money to the Invisible Children charity.

    They are a corrupt organisation that are being investigated. Less than a third of money raised by the organisation goes to the country, with the founders paying themselves an $80,000 per year salary.

    The country itself is becoming more stable, and Joseph Kony no longer resides there. He now lives in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Invisible Children are promoting armed US intervention in a country that is slowly healing its wounds.

    Any money donated to the charity, any actions promoting their hashtags, could have a devastating effect.

    PLEASE research the charity on google. PLEASE read the articles exposing the lies told by Invisible Children.

    I don't want their brainwashing to continue.
     
  7. Cookie, that happens with nearly all charities, just saying
     
  8. No it is not, there are international rating and approval standards for charities. When compared to other legitimate charitable organisations Invincible Children is seen to be fraudulent.

    They believe in violence as a way to stop violence. The founders of the charity pay themselves a huge salary and pose with weapons. I fail to see how anybody can support them.
     
  9. If what cookie said is true I have a lot of research to do

    Either way what Kony is doing is horrible and this foundation has been getting a lot of attention lately.
     
  10. Well I think the only way to stop this guy is through violence, or even war. Cold wars do nothing, hot wars do, look at Hitler, he could not be stopped through non-violent acts, he had to be defeated through war, I think if Kony spreads further than Africa then war will be the only answer
     
  11. Sure, it's a bad thing. But seeing this kony2012 stuff all over is very annoying.
     
  12. Well that's what the KONY2012 campaign is about; public awareness Mac
     
  13. Kony is dieing, the attacks are over.

    That video is several years out of date.
     
  14. Video is out of date do some research.

    Find a better organization to donate to only 32% of their donations go directly into their cause, rest = salaries , awareness, transportation etc. Very poor seeing how other organizations like red cross give roughly 90%. Poor transparency rating also.
     
  15. Hmm... I dunno, I don't like seeing people treated like they are, but I see what you're saying about the charity. What I've done is write to politicians to see if they could take action. I just really hope something happens that stops this
     
  16. Fletch that is the wisest piece of action that I could advise. Buying 'action packs' or t shirts will have no effect. Political pressure, however, will.
     
  17. Okay then, I will therefore continue emailing and writing letters to the Prime Minister of England
     
  18. Hey, It's like donating for me.


    I can't actually do anything since I'm not in USA, far from there actually. So why not buy these action packs? *shrugs*
     
  19. Not for me, but buying their merchandise is like donating in my perspective. .-.
     
  20. But Chloe, your government can still make a difference, Macau's government policy is capitalism meaning that they care about people, seriously, write to them instead of donating
